3. Storage and Care Guidlines
3.1. Cautions
- Always secure the awning with pegs and guy ropes . This will prevent the wind from
lifting the awning and causing damage to your awning and/or your vehicle.
- Do not store the awning wet. The awning is made from 100% Polyester material with
a laminated pvc lining and is fully waterproof. Whilst this material is exceptionally
resistant to fungal attack, mildew will form if the awning is stored wet for extended
periods. The awning can be stored away wet for limited periods, but should be opened
and allowed to dry as soon as possible.
- In trip inspections. Regularly check that all nuts and bolts attaching your awning to
your vehicle are tight and in good repair.
3.2 Care for your awning
1. Use a soft brush to remove leaf litter etc. to prevent staining.
2.Where neccessary you may use a sponge and mild soapy water to wash the awning
material. After washing, rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow to dry before
extended storage.
