Care and Maintenance
Winterizing:
One of the chief complaints from owners of
pop-up campers is the molding and mildewing
of the canvas material during winter months
while the unit is in storage. To solve this
troublesome issue, the Quicksilver has been
designed to allow you to remove all canvas
material and store it away in a dry place,
extending the life of your canvas and saving
you a few headaches.
To remove the tent material for storage, set
up your unit and unfasten the Velcro tabs
holding the tent material to the four central
bimini bars. Leave the tabs on the bunk ends
fastened. Unsnap and un-Velcro the long
straps that run between the bimini support
poles. Fold down the four center biminis,
leaving the bunk ends upright. Now, exit
your unit and unsnap all the exterior snaps
along the sides of the unit and the bunk ends.
Standing beside the bunk ends, you should
be able to lift the canvas and unfasten the
remaining Velcro from the bunk end bimini.
Do both sides. The canvas should now be free
from the supports. Fold it and store in a large
plastic tote in a dry place. You may also wish
to remove the mattresses and seat cushions if
you are able to store them elsewhere. Empty
water lines and 5-gallon tank. Close up your
camper and store.
In the spring when you are ready to re-attach
the tent, open your camper so the bunk ends
are unfolded. Draw each bunk end bimini
across the bunk end and let it rest on the
mattress. Unfold the tent and lay it atop the
camper, aligning the zipper with the doorway.
Standing near a bunk end, fold the canvas
back until you nd the rst set of Velcro
tabs. Attach them to the bimini resting on
the bunk end, making an effort to get the
canvas centered from right to left. Move to
the other bunk end and repeat the process.
Now, pull the material under the bunk ends
and fasten snaps. Going inside the unit, raise
the remaining biminis and attach to Velcro.
Adjust until canvas hangs evenly. Re-attach
the long straps that run between the bimini
bars and install the center support pole.
Go outside and fasten exterior snaps and
bungees. Your unit should be ready for a
summer of fun!
Cleaning Cabinets & sidewalls:
Clean the molded plastics and aluminum
surfaces in the Quicksilver with a soft rag
Simple Green or other mild detergent.
Cleaning Counter Tops:
Your counter tops are made of a high pressure
composite material and are highly resistant to
normal spills and scuffs. Wash with a soft rag
or sponge and mild detergent like Fantastik or
409. Avoid regular use of abrasive pads and
scouring powders which will dull the surface
and make it more stain-prone. Conne knife
blades and slicing to a chopping block (not
supplied). Pots and pans straight from the
oven or burner and irons should be placed on
lined hot pads, not the counter top.
Cleaning Floors:
Use a broom to sweep dirt and debris from
the Quicksilver’s alumi-plank oor. Wipe with
a damp cloth or with Simple Green if a mild
detergent is needed. When you wipe down
the ooring, you will nd that your rag picks
up aluminum residue and turns gray. This is
normal. If your ooring begins to look scuffed
or marred, you can revitalize the look of the
aluminum by scouring it with a Scotch Brite
pad, ultra-ne grade. After scouring, wipe
with a damp rag and Simple Green.
Cleaning Dinette cushions:
Spills, spots or stains should be treated as
soon as possible to avoid permanent damage.
If a spill occurs, blot the uid with a dry towel.
Do not rub the spill. Rubbing may cause the
liquid to “set’ in the fabric. When attempting
to clean a spot or stain, always start from
