Bunker Hill Security LITE, Owner'S Manual

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.
