Hello all.

Our new camper (Lifestyle Explorer+) is a beaut, but how do we keep the canvas straight? It needs a good iron.. as when we put it up, it looks all crushed and wrinkled.. with this go away over time? Pretty sure the canvas has a 'Dynaproofed' logo on it?

Thanks,
Kent

Mate, it's just a case of getting out there & using it more often. Sooner or later it will straighten out.

Mine was a little creased when new. After I seasoned it they mostly went away.

I have a KK and it's creased every time it gets put out.....if I stay in the one spot long enough ( more than a couple of days )  it looks a lot better..

More of a you get used to it sort of thing really.....bit like a big annex...how much trouble is it to get one of those things looking straight and perfect  ???

I take my 12V iron to get rid of any wrinkles   >:D   No Way!  LOL ... just use it more often as the wrinkles will appear every time you fold it back up.

I think Gronk is on the right track here. At least 2 or 3 2 week trips per year are needed to keep the wrinkles away. Well it works for me, The wife and boss may not like it much.      :cheers:  :angel: :cheers:
