Ultimate Tent Care Guide: Protecting Your Redverz Tent for Years of Adventure

A Redverz tent isn’t just a shelter—it’s your home on the road. With proper care and maintenance, your tent can withstand years of travel through mountains, deserts, forests, and coastlines. Here’s our comprehensive guide to keeping your Redverz tent performing at its best.

1. Preventing and Treating Mildew

Mildew is a tent’s worst enemy. It thrives in damp, enclosed spaces, but with the right steps, you can prevent it from ever taking hold.

Prevention Tips:

• Always dry your tent completely before packing it away.

• When possible, pitch your tent in a spot with good airflow.

• After a rainy trip, hang or pitch your tent in the sun to fully dry.

Treatment Tips:

• Never put your inner tent in a washing machine. The agitation and detergents will damage waterproof coatings and fabrics.

• Spot clean affected areas with a mixture of lukewarm water and non-detergent soap.

• Use a soft brush or sponge, and allow the tent to dry fully in sunlight.

2. Storing Your Tent Properly

• Store your tent completely dry in a cool, dry place.

• Avoid airtight containers—let fabrics breathe.

• Loosely fold or stuff the tent into a large storage sack instead of compressing it tightly for long periods.

3. Maintaining Waterproofing

Redverz tents are designed with a durable water-repellent finish (DWR) that causes water to bead and run off. This means you don’t need to spray aftermarket waterproofing products—which can actually damage the tent fabric.

If water stops beading as effectively:

• Clean the fabric gently with water and a sponge.

• Avoid harsh chemicals or treatments.

• Trust the original coating to do the job.

4. Zippers, Poles, and General Maintenance

• Keep zippers free of dirt and sand by brushing them regularly.

• If zippers get sticky, use a zipper lubricant designed for outdoor gear.

• Wipe poles clean and allow them to dry before storing.

• Check shock cords occasionally and replace if they lose elasticity.

5. Real-World Durability

From Patagonia to Alaska, riders depend on Redverz tents to handle extreme conditions. The rugged waterproof fabrics, smart design, and proven track record make them a trusted companion wherever adventure leads. Proper care only extends their lifespan and performance.

Final Word: Respect Your Shelter

Your Redverz tent takes care of you—return the favor by taking care of it. A little maintenance goes a long way toward ensuring your tent will be ready for the next rally, the next ride, and the next horizon.
