damaged canvas is mildew,
which
is
the
result of storing your unit
for any short period
of
time
with
a
damp or wet canvas.
This
is
even more important
in
coastal states which have a damp
atmosphere.

tent fabric is
a
strong, durable three-layer
polypropylene laminate which resists common stains,
soil,
mildew
and rot. When soiling
does
occur, the problem can usually
be
corrected
by
the
following procedures:
Light brushing with
a
soft rag will remove most dirt.
For persistent soils:
1.
Wet soiled fabric with water;
2.
Wash with non-detergent ivory soap, work into a lather
and
with
a
sponge, lightly work the lather into the soiled area;
3.
Rinse
thoroughly
with
copius amounts
of
water to remove all
residue soap. Residual soap
can
cause fabric leakage.
4.
Air dry completely.
If slight fabric Ieaking persists
due
to
presence of residual soap, the
area may be treated with water repellent
such
as
3M
Scotch Guard
Fabric Protector.
The above procedure may also be used to correct spot
fabric leaking
caused by accidental contact
with
insect repellents
and
sprays.
Products
containing
surfactants,
eg.
insect repellents, suntan oils
can cause
a
loss of
water
repellency.
This
can easily
be
corrected
by
following
the
washing instructions outlined above.
CAUTION:
Always
be
sure
the
canvas is completely
dry
before
storing. Mildew can
start
within
24-48
houxs after closing camper
in
a
wet
condition.
