AFT questions

Post by Bert » Sat Nov 06, 2010 5:14 pm

When I bought my Bongo the front and sides of the AFT "tent" wre rolled up.
Should they be left like this, or unrolled and zipped up for the winter?

Also - any tips on repairing small tears in the "flysheet" material visoble when the sidea are rolled up?
Thanks

I leave mine zipped up.
Netting has been repaired/replaced by some people - others have just removed it.

We leave our AFT zipped up all the time with no problems.
With regards to the rip in the netting, we used Tenacious tape to fix ours.

Probably best to unroll and zip it up closed, if there is any damp in the material it will have a better chance to dry out, otherwise you will end up with mould.
