      Care & Maintenance

      Rooftop Tent Care and Maintenance

      We recommend that new rooftop tents are thoroughly wet down on the outside before first use. This will ensure that your rooftop tent performs flawlessly in wet weather by allowing the poly/cotton core spun thread and canvas to swell ensuring the take up of any potential leaks in the stitching.

      Cleaning Canvas:

      • Do not use soap or detergents on the canvas.
      • Do not store the product if wet, allow drying first.
      • To clean use a soft brush and cold water.
      • Do not expose to petrol, oils or harsh chemicals.

      Cleaning mould:

      • Allow mould to dry
      • Remove surface mould off with a stiff bristle brush
      • Vacuum the area
      • Treat area with Oil of Clove spray (diluted spray can be purchased or can be mixed using a few drops of oil into a spray bottle of water)

      Condensation:

      Condensation is a natural occurrence, the combination of cold nights and warm days can create a lovely environment for mould and mildew to develop. This is not because of bad seals but from temperature changes combined with humidity creating condensation inside the tent.

      When in use, reduce condensation build-up, keep some of the windows open to increase airflow.

      After your trip, make sure you allow the tent to fully dry inside and out. If you are not using your rooftop tent for an extended time (more than 10 days) open the tent regularly to air it out, and possibly remove the mattress and store it separately until your next trip.

      Regular Maintenance

      • Lubricate the tent seal with silicon gel and clean seal mating surface thoroughly to prevent the seal from 'sticking' to the tent frame.
      • Check for any signs of wear and tear, such as cracks, tears, or loose stitching in the tent fabric, midge mesh and seals.
      • Inspect zippers, gas struts, hinges for smooth operation and lubrication.
