Caring For The Tent
Seasoning The New Tent
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.
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.
Tent Set Up
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.
