Cleaning and Maintenance

For product claims and problems, please contact your supplying Outwell dealer.

General Care and Setup

• Upon unpacking, note the original packing method to simplify repacking.
• Select a level campsite, free from stones, branches, and sharp objects.
• Position the awning with the door facing the desired direction, considering wind direction.
• Practice pitching the awning before your trip to become familiar with the process.

Condensation Management

• Condensation may form under certain weather conditions.
• To minimize condensation, remove wet clothing and items from the awning.
• Ensure adequate ventilation or pitch the awning on an Outwell® groundsheet.
• Note: Condensation is not an indication of a leak.

Material Care and Weather Resistance

• The flysheet is made of waterproof material. Avoid contact between the interior and the inner side of the flysheet in wet weather to prevent leaks.
• Never fully tighten guy ropes; allow slack for the awning to adapt to wind and weather.
• In strong winds, replace standard pegs with storm pegs. Do not pull pegs out using guy ropes. Use robust U-shaped pegs for stony or hard ground.
• Do not spray insecticides inside or on the awning.
• Prolonged direct exposure to sunlight can damage the flysheet. Outtex® material is used to extend the awning's lifespan.
• Outwell products are designed for camping use (typically 2-5 weeks per year) and not for permanent installation. UV effects can be amplified near sea or lakes.
• The mud valance is designed to keep out wind and water and should not be pulled on to straighten the awning.

Drying and Packing

• Ensure the awning is completely dry before packing to prevent moisture damage.
• After use, wipe all metal poles with a cloth dampened with acid-free oil.
• Remove dirt using a soft sponge and clean water. Never machine wash or dry clean the awning.
• Store the awning in a dry location.

Repairing Seams

• Seam tape may loosen after repeated use. Repair by removing loose tape and applying seam sealer and waterproofing spray. Refer to www.outwell.com/FAQ for instructions.
• Minor leaks from tape can be easily re-sealed with seam sealer.
