TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL CAMPING.
Your tent has been designed for recreational purposes, not as a
permanent dwelling.
When selecting your camping site be careful to avoid overhanging
branches and excessive wind areas.
Never peg your inner tent out too tightly with the doors open as
this can cause undue stress on zips.
Keep doors and windows open where possible to minimise
condensation.
Check poles for signs of wear and tear and replace where
necessary.
Lower the lift-up awnings during heavy rain or strong winds.
Use warm soapy water and a sponge to clean your tent.
Do not erect the tent too close to the camp fire.
Never cook inside the tent.
Do not use chemical contaminants (such as insecticides, bug
repellents, hair spray, stove fuel, fruit juice etc.) on or near the tent
as this can create deterioration of fabrics.
Clean the zippers frequently by flushing them with fresh water if
using your tent in sandy soil.
Always ensure your tent and poles are clean and dry before packing
away.
Pegs should never be removed by pulling on the elastic or webbing
that form part of the tent.
Do not peg out your tent too tightly as this will cause long–term
damage.
Pack up and go home in extreme weather.
