Jayco Eagle Owner's manual - Interior

5 7

• Assure that your canvas and trailer have good ventilation, especially after a rainy

period. The most common cause of a damaged canvas is mildew, which is the result

of storing your unit for any period of time with a damp or wet canvas, even for short

periods. This is even more important in humid climates. If the tent must be stored

wet, open the unit and allow it to dry thoroughly as soon as possible.

• For vinyl awning, use only non-abrasive cleaners with warm water and a sponge to

remove excess dirt and grime. Do not use cleaners with a bleach ingredient. Chlorine

or bleach will strip the finish and color from your vinyl.

• If water seepage occurs in the seams of the vinyl awning, you may use 3M Scotch

Guard® on sewn seams.

Interior

The material used on the interior of the tents is a 100% polyester backing. This material

contains inhibitors that help prevent the growth of mildew on the fabric. It is not

mildew-proof. Mildew or fungus may attach to the material, however, the material will

aid in preventing the growth. If mildew does attach itself to the fabric, brush the mildew

dust with a soft bristle brush. Then use one cup or regular household bleach to one gallon

of water to thoroughly clean the area. Rinse with clean water.

Condensation

Condensation can be prevalent in tent campers if proper ventilation is not used. It can

exist whether or not a heater is used. We recommend that you leave a small opening in

each bunk zipper to permit air to flow through and allow the tent to “breathe.” This will

help minimize moisture gathering above bunk area on the vinyl. Use only breathable

fabric camper covers, such as those available through your Jayco dealer, when storing

your camper.
