TENT CARE TIPS

To further the life of your tent the following care suggestions are recommended:

1.                    NEVER ROLL UP OR PACK AWAY A WET TENT.  THIS WILL CAUSE MILDEW.  MILDEW WILL DESTROY THE COTTON THREAD USED IN YOUR TENT SEAMS.

2.                    Store your tent in a dry place.

3.                    Avoid spraying insect repellent, hair spray, etc., inside or near your tent, as they may be harmful to the tent fabric and cause leakage.  Acids and caustic solutions can damage nylon.  This includes leaking flashlight batteries, ascorbic acid in fruit juices, etc.

4.                    Cleaning tent.  Hand wash with a sponge, using soap such as Ivory flakes.  Never use washing machine or detergent as they may damage the seams or the coating.

5.                    Condensation.  The human body gives off a considerable amount of moisture during the night.  If this moisture cannot escape from the tent, it will condense on the inner surface and make it wet.  Condensation droplets may drop off, which may appear like leakage or misting.  THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE TENT LEAKS.  If your door flap and windows are left open or partially open, this condition will reduce itself.

6.                    This material has been scientifically treated with the finest water resistant chemicals.  However, under severe weather conditions, some water may penetrate.  We suggest using a fly to keep you cool and dry.

7.                    Warranty.  All tents are guaranteed against defects in material and workmanship only.  No tents are to be returned for repairs or credit without prior authorization from the manufacturer.  Your tent warranty is valid for 90 days.

8.                    The nylon material in your tent has been treated with ultra violet inhibitor.  However, prolonged exposure in the sun will affect the strength of the material.

9.                    If zippers stick, lubricate with silicon.  Never force a zipper that has material caught in it, as this will bend the slider and prevent the zipper from closing.  Continual use in a sandy environment can cause a slider to erode and fail to close the zipper.

WARNING: ____________________________________________________________

VEHICLE MUST REMAIN STATIONARY WHILE THE TENT IS ERECTED IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK

WARNING: ____________________________________________________________

KEEP ALL FLAME AND HEAT SOURCES AWAY FROM THIS TENT FABRIC

NOTE: ____________________________________________________________

THIS TENT IS MADE WITH FLAME RESISTANT FABRIC.  IT IS NOT FIREPROOF.  THE FABRIC WILL BURN IF LEFT IN CONTINUOUS CONTACT WITH ANY FLAME SOURCE.

A TENT IS NOT WATERPROOF

IT IS WATER REPELLANT

Under normal weather conditions your tent will provide excellent protection.  The materials in your tent have been treated with the finest chemicals as well as being laboratory tested and will give you excellent protection even in bad weather.  However, under severe weather conditions we highly recommend a fly or inexpensive tarp to be set up over your tent, as rain may penetrate through, as it does under such conditions into your house, through your basement, windows, doors, even your roof.
