Care instructions
Care instructions – For those who love adventure and close moments in nature
How to care for your roof tent
- Give your tent some love! Open it regularly to air it out and let the fabric dry properly – no tent likes to feel trapped.
- Make sure both the walls and floor are dry before packing it up for longer storage. A tip: raise the mattress slightly or let it dry outside the tent.
- Double check that the tent is securely attached to the roof rack before you set off. Do a quick check every now and then during the trip to keep it safe and stable.
- Lubricate hinges and ladders with a little WD-40 or equivalent every year. A little care goes a long way to extending the life of your favorite accessories.
For those of you who have four-legged adventurers
- Our four-legged friends and the whole family create magical moments together in the tent, even if they contribute to a little extra condensation. With proper ventilation and a towel for safety, you can enjoy both the proximity and nature in full harmony.
- The laughter of the children and the happy presence of the dog make every adventure an unforgettable experience. A little extra moisture in the tent is a small price to pay for the great memories you create together.
Maintenance and Storage – Give Your Tent a Break
Before storing your tent, make sure it is completely dry. Mold doesn't like dry weather, so let it breathe for a few hours after your camping trip.
- The mattress cover can be washed if necessary, and the mattress is best stored outside the tent if there is a lot of moisture in the air.
- A soft tent can be stored standing on its side, but make sure that no sensitive parts are touching the ground. Hard tents are recommended to be stored lying down. Give it some extra protection with a blanket or cardboard.
Condensation – Nature's way of saying good morning
As the temperature drops and the breath of your family or pets warms up the tent, a little condensation can occur. But don't worry, it's part of the charm of being close to nature. Here are some tips:
- Leave the windows ajar to create a light draft. If there is a slight breeze, it will help keep the tent fresh.
- Avoid bringing wet clothes or shoes inside – but we know, sometimes it's hard to say no to a muddy dog who wants to come in and cuddle.
- Wipe down the walls and floor with a towel if necessary and let the tent dry before packing it up. If this is not possible, open and air it within 36 hours to avoid mold.
With these tips, we hope your tent lasts a long time and continues to be a safe base for both small and big adventures! 😊
