VINYL TIRE COVER (IF SO EQUIPPED)
Your tires are manufactured with components that cause “bleeding” onto the tire cover. To
prevent this, it is recommended to use a separator (garbage bag, paper, cloth, etc.) between
the tire and the cover.

SEASONING THE NEW TENT
Well in advance of your first trip, set up your new RV. Use a garden hose and thoroughly
soak the tent with a light spray of water (do not spray directly on the tent with a high
pressure hose). After the tent dries, repeat the soaking process three additional times.
If you note any water seepage or leaks after seasoning your tent let the tent dry, then spray
water repellant using the instructions provided on the product container. One or more
applications of seam sealer may be necessary to stop water seepage in seams where thread
enters the fabric. Water repellant products and tent seam sealers are usually available
where tent or camping supplies are sold. Once performed, the new tent seasoning process
does not need to be repeated unless a section of your tent is replaced.
NOTE: See Exterior Section for tent maintenance
