the outside and work inward to avoid spreading
it further. Some stains or soils are extremely
difficult or impossible to remove completely.
These should receive immediate, professional
attention. Spills, spots, stains or soils are the
responsibility of the owner and are not covered

Limited Warranty. Wipe the marine grade vinyl
with warm water and a mild soap. If a stronger
cleanser is needed, try Fantastik or other product
deemed safe for cleaning vinyl surfaces.
Preconditioning Tents:
To prevent leaking on camping trips, your
tent must be preconditioned. Set up your
tent at home to become familiar with the
parts and method of setup. Spray the tent
with water until thoroughly wet. This causes
cotton fabric to shrink and helps to close up
fibers and seams which may cause leakage.
Allow the tent to dry completely. To prevent
mildew, always ventilate and dry the tent with
bows and braces in place as soon as possible
after exposure to moisture.
Cleaning Tents:
You will find a care and cleaning tag attached
to your tent. Please follow the instructions
printed on that tag for best results. The tent
material manufacturer suggests the following
cleaning products:
Interior:
• Starbrite Vinyl Shampoo #80216
• Meguiar's 57 Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner/
Conditioner #5716
• Fantastik
• 3M Citrus Base Cleaner/Conditioner #5716
• West Marine Vinyl Cleaner #128860
Exterior:
• Mild Liquid Detergent
• Fantastik
• Resolve Carpet Cleaner
• West Marine Vinyl Cleaner #128860
Avoid opening and closing tent in
extreme cold temperatures. Vinyl may
become less pliable and more prone to
damage in extreme cold.
See enclosed warranty sheet from the
tent manufacturer for more information
on tent care, cleaning and warranty.
Cleaning Awnings:
Be sure to clean off all debris as you roll up
your awnings. Periodically wash off the awning
fabric with a soapy water solution. Long-term
exposure to the sun may cause some fading
over time, which is normal. Lower awning poles
during rain to allow run-off. Water accumulating
in the awning during rains may cause undo
stress on the seams, zippers and fasteners.
Cleaning Exterior Walls and Diamond Plate:
When washing and waxing the exterior
of your RV, be sure to inspect all seams
and trim for damaged or missing sealants.
Occasionally during washing some sealants
may be washed away, and harsh climates
can accelerate the deterioration of sealants.
As a guideline, inspect these areas twice a
year or whenever the RV is washed or waxed,
whichever is more frequent. Unsealed areas
can lead to expensive structure repairs in the
future. Wash with water and a mild detergent.
Use a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive
materials or cleaners that will scratch and
dull your exterior's finish.
Cleaning Tires:
Tighten wheel bolts or nuts every 50 miles
for the first 200 miles and after every change
in wheel mounting. Pay close attention to the
tires, checking them periodically for wear or
damage. An occasional application of Black
Magic Tire Wet Foam (or a similar product)
will keep your radials clean and protected.
