Frequently Asked Questions - TRT 140 AIR DOMETIC

How to inflate the TRT 140 AIR awning?

Use a suitable pump (not a tire compressor). Inflate the air tubes to a maximum pressure of 0.62 bar (9 psi). Do not overinflate.

What to do in case of an air leak?

Check that the valve is properly screwed and the seal is in place. Make sure the valve cap is tightened. If the leak persists, look for a puncture in the air tube.

How to repair a puncture in the air tube?

Open the zipper of the outer sleeve, remove the tube, then submerge it in water to locate the leak. Dry the area and apply repair tape and repair solution.

How to clean the awning?

Set up the awning completely and clean it with clean water and a soft brush. Do not use chemicals, alcohol, or sharp objects. Let it dry completely.

Where and how to store the awning?

After complete drying, fold or roll the awning and place it in the transport cover. Store it in a dry and well-ventilated place.

Can I use a barbecue or gas heater inside the awning?

No, it is dangerous. Fuel-burning devices produce carbon monoxide which accumulates and can be fatal. Never use them inside.

What is the recommended maximum inflation pressure?

The maximum pressure is 0.62 bar (9 psi). Do not exceed this limit to avoid damaging the tubes.

How to install the awning correctly?

Follow the illustrations in the manual. Drive the stakes at an angle of 45° relative to the awning. Attach the anchor lines and adjust them to tension the awning without deforming it.

What to do in case of condensation inside the awning?

Condensation is normal in high humidity or temperature drops. Increase ventilation by opening doors and windows. Install a waterproof ground sheet to reduce humidity.

What is the warranty coverage?

The limited warranty covers manufacturing and material defects. It does not cover normal wear, damage from UV, storms, or commercial use. See dometic.com/warranty for details.

• The figures provide a general overview of the set-up. The actual set-up will vary slightly based on the model of awning tent.
• Get help. The set-up is easier with more people.
• After standing the awning tent upright, check the corner pegs and re-peg if necessary. The groundsheet on the inside should be taut and in a rectangular shape.
• Peg the guy lines so that the awning tent is under tension without distorting the shape.
• If available, attach the storm straps.
• Check the guy lines from time to time to ensure adequate tension, if necessary use the runners to adjust.

  – Repair tape and repair solution
  – Silicone spray for the zippers
• Spare pegs

Problem Solution

Awning tent only inflates with difficulties	▶ Check that the valve is fully screwed into the air pole. ▶ Check if the inflation tube is twisted at the valve. This may be indicated by noise. Untwist the inflation tube. ▶ Check that the electric pump is working.
Air poles are kinked	▶ Add more air (9 psi/0.62 bar).
Air leak	▶ Check that the valve is fully screwed into the air pole and the ring seal is in place. ▶ Check that the cap of the valve is done up tightly. ▶ Check for punctures, see chapter “Repairing a puncture in the air pole” on page 10
Water leak	▶ Check for leaky seams, damaged tapings and moist areas. ▶ If you cannot find any leaks, see chapter “Condensation” on page 10. ▶ If you find any leaks, apply seam sealant.
Rip in the fabric	▶ Use repair tape to seal the fabric. ▶ Have repairs carried out by an authorized specialist.

Condensation

All awning tents suffer from internal condensation if one or more of the following conditions apply:

• High air humidity
• High ground moisture
- A drop in temperature

Severe condensation can run down the inside of the roof and drip off ties, tapes and other internal fittings and can be mistaken for leaking.

▶ Increase ventilation by opening doors and/or windows.
▶ Install a waterproof groundsheet.

Repairing a puncture in the air pole

If the air pole loses air, proceed as follows:

1. Unzip the outer sleeve holding the air pole.
2. Remove the air pole.
3. Unzip the protective sleeve to expose the inflatable tube.
4. Submerge the tube in water.
5. Blow some air into the inflatable tube to locate the puncture.
6. Use repair tape and repair solution to seal the hole.
7. Zip the inflatable tube back into the protective sleeve.
8. Zip the air pole back into the outer sleeve.

▶ Also observe the information given in fig. 12, page 6.
