| | | TENT / CAMPING advice please Last night I camped out in heavy rain. I do not have a washing line. My tent is pretty wet.
Can anyone suggest the best way to care for it?
Thanks

| | | Re: TENT / CAMPING advice please Hi boddie, if you can, spread it out in a garage or some such space.. raising it at several points to allow for air flow. If you can heat the space (but not the fabric of the tent) gently.. so much the better
best of luck

| | | Re: TENT / CAMPING advice please I shake off the majority of the rain in the bath, then i throw the outer over a table, and the inner over an ironing board. Turn it every now and then to ensure everything is dry |

| | | Re: TENT / CAMPING advice please I threw it over the clothes drier then popped it in the empty airing cupboard. Seems to have done the trick nicely.
Thanks guys |  | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
