Chassis / Roof rack
Boththechassisandtheroofrack
haveaneffectiverustproofing.
Theroofrackhasbeenfittedwith
plasticprotectorstominimise
damagetotheroofrackwhen
openedagainsttheground.
Werecommendthatthebottomof
thetrailerissealedwithrust
proofingmaterial.
Before the first trip:
WhenyouopenyourCOMBI-CAMP
forthefirsttime,westrongly
recommendthatthetentcanvasis
sprayedwithwater.Eventhefinest
impregnatedcottoncanvasisnot
100%effectivebeforethefirstrain
shower.
Whilstthetentissprayedandlater
drying,itisimportantthatthe
windowsanddoorsremainclosed
astosecureauniformshrinkingof
thetentcanvas.
Allourcottontentcanvasesare
designed“shrinktofit”.
Donotfolddownthetentbefore
itisabsolutelydry.
The tent canvas is made from a
natural cotton product. Should you
experience a slight leak around the
stitching of the canvas this can be
cured by impregnating the seams
with seal seam.
