It is normal for slight leakage to occur through the fabric where water is
allowed to accumulate or pocket on the fabric. See information under “Storm
Precautions” for proper awning settings for water drainage. Sometimes soap or
chemical residue, such as from active agents in insect fog or sprays, can “wet” the
fabric so that it appears unable to repel water. Rinse the fabric thoroughly and test
to see if it is water repellent after it dries. If leakage continues after repeating the
washing and thoroughly rinsing, please contact Carefree of Colorado concerning
further maintenance.
Storm Precautions:
The warranty does not cover damage caused by acts of nature; therefore, steps
should be taken to prevent damage from occurring due to wind, rain or storms. If
you are leaving or retiring for the night, close the awning. This takes only a few
seconds and it gives the best protection for the awning. If unable to close the
awning, lower both ends of it as far as you can. This will create a sufficient slope
for water run-off. One end may be lowered to sufficiently divert the water, if the
awning is being monitored.
Water weighs 8.33 pounds per gallon. The awning was not made to withstand
the 500 to 700 pounds that could accumulate. It is best not to subject the
awning and the motorhome to the needless strain.
