Do I need to scotchgaurd my new canvas bunk ends?
Just wondering if I should scotchgaurd my canvas on the bunk end windows? Or the whole tent for that matter.
We have a Shamrock 21dk.

- Thanks!
- No on the Scotchguard. If you do get a smudge or two, some Woolite and cold water will fix the problem. Agree that if it's a new trailer, you need to open the ends and either let it sit through a good rain, or just get the water hose out and give it a lengthy spray - the thread that is used in the seams needs to get wet to seal completely. Suggest you take the mattresses off the bunkends when you do this. After that, you should be fine. Very minimal care for these.
- Nope. We had our first HTT for 10 years, and this is our second season with our current one. Never did anything special to the bunk ends other than 'season' them and wash sap and other drippings off the vinyl.

- Didn't give a year but the standard answer is no. If new it is recommended that you open the ends and let it be rained on a couple of times to let the material to tighten up. If this is an older camper that should have already happened.
- No.
