CONDENSATION
When warm, moist air comes in contact with the cool tent fabric
condensation can form. In most situations condensation can
be controlled by allowing air inside the Bunker to vent outside.
During periods of high humidity, such as during rain storms,
it may be difficult to prevent or reduce condensation. In these
situations ventilation could actually increase the condensation
by drawing in more humid air.
To reduce condensation use the included Bunker Fly. The Bunker
Fly is designed to reduce the temperature difference between the
inside and outside of the Bunker. It is normal to find the underside
of the fly covered in water droplets in humid conditions.
Condensation can also collect on parts of the floor inside the
Bunker. This is also normal and does not indicate leaking fabric.
ZIPPERS
Be careful when using Bunker zippers. Go slow when zipping.
Make sure to align the zipper tracks before sliding the zipper and
don’t exert excessive force on the zipper. If fabric gets caught
in the zipper, stop and slowly reverse the zipper to remove. A
silicone based lubricant may be used to improve zipping.
When dirt gets in the zipper teeth, it can cause abrasion and
damage to the zipper sliders. You can clean the zipper teeth by
rinsing them with water. The pressure from a regular garden
hose will push out small sand particles.
CLEANING
If the Bunker should require cleaning, set it up and use a sponge
with warm water to clean. If further cleaning is required, a
garden hose can be used to wash off any remaining dirt. Do
not use detergent, soap,
or
bleach as this may remove the
waterproofing and/or damage the fabric. Allow the Bunker to
air-dry completely before packing or storing.
STORAGE
Packing and storing the Bunker while it’s wet or damp leads
to premature breakdown of the canvas and coatings.
Storing
a wet Bunker can cause mildew to form on the fabric. Mildew
will cause the Bunker to stain, smell, and may lead to the
premature breakdown of the waterproof coating. Dry the Bunker
thoroughly after every trip.
ANIMALS
To prevent damage from animals chewing holes in the Bunker
fabric, never store food or cooking equipment in the Bunker.
