The tent canvas is a mildew resistant fabric; however, this does not mean that
it is mildew proof. Taking proper care of your tent canvas will help to prolong
its life. For warranty coverage, it is imperative that you read, understand and
follow the listed recommendations in this owner's manual and all related
literature.
Proper care and maintenance are important for the life of your tent canvas. If the
tent must be stored wet, open the camping trailer and allow the tent to dry
thoroughly as soon as possible. Be aware that the canvas portion of the tent will
take longer to dry than the vinyl. Make sure the entire tent is completely dry before
refolding it and storing the camping trailer.
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 RV for any period of time with a damp or wet canvas, even
for short periods. This is even more important in humid climates.
Touching the tent canvas when it is wet can cause leakage. During periods of rain,
avoid contact with the tent. The natural body oils in skin will neutralize the tent
waterproofing and cause the rain to soak through. If leakage persists, please
contact your dealer for assistance.

EASONING HE
It is very important to "season" your new tent. If you do not follow this
procedure, you may experience some water seepage during the first few
exposures to rain.
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.
