Camping Trailer Care

To keep your camping trailer looking and operating at its best, here are a few routine maintenance and cleaning tips:

AlumiTite Krystal Kote Composite Roof

For general cleaning, you may use any of the following products. Ivory soap and water, Formula 409, Windex, Fantastik, Simple Green, or Pine Sol. Use the cleaner according to the manufacturer's suggestions. Apply the cleaner to a soft, clean cloth rather than directly to the roof and only clean a small section of the roof at a time. After cleaning, rinse off the surface as thoroughly as possible. Do not allow these cleaners to contact the Sunbrella tenting material.

For heavy cleaning, use the following products (but remember to remove and rinse immediately and thoroughly after each use) Oops, Turtle-Wax, Bug, Tar & Tree Sap Remover. (Note: make sure all drape, mattress, and tenting fabrics are protected.)

Sunbrella 302 Acrylic Tenting

Most dirt will simply brush off and remaining soil can be removed by using mild soap and water. To remove stains, spot wash the fabric by sponging briskly with a solution of natural soap in luke-warm water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and air dry. For stubborn stains, use a commercial stain remover and follow the directions on the container, or you may use a 50 percent solution of bleach and water. Then rinse thoroughly and air-dry, after heavy cleaning, it may be necessary to re-treat the Sunbrella fabric (see below). Though Sunbrella 302 will not mildew, mildew can grow on dirt and other foreign substances that are not removed from the fabric. For this reason, light routine cleaning such as brushing off the fabric, is important in extending the life of the material. While repeated cleaning will not diminish the inherent properties of Sunbrella 302, it may gradually reduce the water, soil, and stain-repellent properties of the treated finish. If this occurs, you can revitalize the fabric's original protective finish with a commercial spray-on fabric guard. (Note: The commercial spray-on fabric guard needs to be a flurocarbon-based fabric protector such as 303 High Tech Fabric Guard.)
