Interior - Jayco Eagle Owner's Manual

• Assure that your canvas and trailer have good ventilation, especially after a rainy
period. The most common cause of a damaged canvas is mildew, which is the result
of storing your unit for any period of time with a damp or wet canvas, even for short
periods. This is even more important in humid climates. If the tent must be stored
wet, open the unit and allow it to dry thoroughly as soon as possible.
• For vinyl awning, use only non-abrasive cleaners with warm water and a sponge to
remove excess dirt and grime. Do not use cleaners with a bleach ingredient. Chlorine
or bleach will strip the finish and color from your vinyl.
• If water seepage occurs in the seams of the vinyl awning, you may use 3M Scotch
Guard® on sewn seams.

Interior

The material used on the interior of the tents is a 100% polyester backing. This material
contains inhibitors that help prevent the growth of mildew on the fabric. It is not
mildew-proof. Mildew or fungus may attach to the material, however, the material will
aid in preventing the growth. If mildew does attach itself to the fabric, brush the mildew
dust with a soft bristle brush. Then use one cup or regular household bleach to one gallon
of water to thoroughly clean the area. Rinse with clean water.
Condensation
Condensation can be prevalent in tent campers if proper ventilation is not used. It can
exist whether or not a heater is used. We recommend that you leave a small opening in
each bunk zipper to permit air to flow through and allow the tent to "breathe." This will
help minimize moisture gathering above bunk area on the vinyl. Use only breathable
fabric camper covers, such as those available through your Jayco dealer, when storing
your camper.
