Maintenance and Storage
Hitch and Tow Bar Maintenance
Store trailer indoors if possible. Do not use or store trailer at
temperatures below 32˚F (0° C), as hitch flex connector can
become brittle and possibly break, causing accident resulting in
serious injury.
Fabric Care
Hand wash fabric parts with mild soap or detergent and warm
water. For heavy soiling, use a nylon bristle brush. Do not use
bleach. Line-dry floor covering and trailer cover. Polyester fabric
will eventually fade, especially when exposed to direct sunlight.
Wipe dry (to help avoid mildew) and store out of direct sunlight
in a dry, well-ventilated area. Replace any damaged parts.
