Trailer Tent - Care Instructions
HELPFUL HINTS:
CONDITIONING THE CAMPER TRAILER
TENT.
Once you get the new Camper Trailer Tent
home, it is important to condition the fabric.
Once installed, simply set up the Camper
Trailer Tent and wet it down thoroughly
with a garden hose until the fabric and
all seams are saturated. Pay particular
attention to the seams – the thread swells
when wet and blocks the needle holes.
The canvas fabric also benefits from this
wetting and drying because the cotton
swells into the weave and the waterproof
treatment settles within the fabric. Let the
Camper Trailer Tent dry completely before
repeating the wetting and drying cycle.
Keep repeating the wetting and drying
process until there is no leakage during
the hosing phase. Always make sure the
Camper Trailer Tent is completely dry before
packing it away.
If you need to store your Camper Trailer
Tent for an extended period of time, OZtrail
recommends that it should be stored out of
the weather. If a roofed shelter is not possible,
a tarpaulin will help reduce the sun’s e
ff
ect
on the dust cover, reduce water pooling on it
and minimise organic matter and dirt from
gathering on the dust cover that promote
mould growth and attract insects. OZtrail
recommends that you open and set up the
Camper Trailer Tent to air at least once a
month.
