Usage Features
- Easy Installation: The annexes are designed for straightforward attachment to the iKamper rooftop tent. The process involves unfolding the annex, zipping it to the entrance of the rooftop tent, and attaching it with Velcro.
- Secure Attachment: The annex connects to the rooftop tent via a zipper and Velcro, ensuring a secure and weather-tight seal. Guylines and stakes are provided to anchor the annex firmly to the ground, especially in windy conditions.
- Versatile Space: The enclosed space offers flexibility for various uses. It can be used as a private changing room, a sheltered area for cooking or dining, a storage space for camping gear, or an additional sleeping area for more campers.
- Canopy Functionality: The annex can be partially opened to create a canopy, providing shade and protection from light rain while allowing for an open-air feel. This is achieved by unzipping the entrance and lifting the annex fabric, which can be supported by additional poles (not included).
- Ventilation: While not explicitly detailed, proper ventilation is crucial for any enclosed space. Users are advised to ensure adequate airflow to prevent condensation and maintain a comfortable internal environment.
- Ground Sheet: The annex includes a ground sheet that should be laid flat and firm before setup. This helps protect the interior from moisture and rough terrain.
- Site Selection: When choosing a campsite, it is recommended to select a flat, firm, and level ground free of sharp objects, rocks, or debris to prevent damage to the annex floor. Avoid areas prone to flash floods, strong winds, or other natural hazards.
- Weather Considerations: Tying down guylines is recommended when the weather can change quickly. In strong winds, it is advisable to take down the annex to prevent damage.
Maintenance Features
- Cleaning: To maintain the product's lifespan, it is important to clean it properly. After use, brush off any dirt, mud, or debris. If the product is stored wet, it can cause problems such as mold, odor, color transfer, and hydrolysis of the fabric. Use a soft brush or towel with a mild soap solution for cleaning. Do not use strong chemical cleaners or solvents.
- Drying: Always ensure the annex is completely dry before storing it to prevent mold and mildew. If stored wet, unfold and dry it in a well-ventilated shade. Do not use heat sources or heating equipment for drying, as this can cause deformation or breakage.
- Storage: Store the annex in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight. The enclosed storage bag is designed to be small for easy transport. Ensure the product is folded neatly to fit into the bag.
- Condensation Prevention: Condensation is a natural phenomenon in enclosed spaces. To reduce condensation, ensure adequate ventilation by opening windows or doors, especially during temperature differences between the interior and exterior.
- Damage Prevention: Avoid placing the annex on sharp objects or rough surfaces. Do not use flammable materials inside the annex. Keep children away from the annex when not supervised.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the annex for any signs of wear, damage, or deterioration. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage.
- Warranty: iKamper products come with a one-year warranty from the date of purchase. The warranty covers manufacturing defects and structural issues but typically excludes normal wear and tear, cosmetic blemishes, damage caused by misuse, improper maintenance, or unauthorized modifications. For warranty claims, contact iKamper customer service.
- UV Exposure: Prolonged exposure to UV radiation can cause fabric degradation and discoloration. While the fabric has a PU coating for protection, minimizing direct sunlight exposure during storage and prolonged use can help extend the annex's lifespan.
By following these guidelines, users can ensure the longevity and optimal performance of their iKamper Skycamp Annex S or Skycamp Mini Annex S, enhancing their outdoor adventures with a reliable and comfortable extended living space.
