The care and maintenance of the awning rail and piping contribute significantly to the longevity and functionality of your camping accessories, especially in Bürstner vehicles. The following tips will keep your rails running smoothly, corrosion-free and functional for many years to come.
Overview of care and maintenance
Thorough and regular cleaning is the be-all and end-all. Remove dirt, sand, resin or old sealant residue from your awning rail. Mild soap solutions or special plastic cleaners are suitable for this purpose. For stubborn dirt, soft brushes and plastic spatulas help to protect the surface and clean effectively at the same time.
Application of lubricant spray
A silicone-free lubricant spray makes it much easier to retract your piping. It prevents adhesion and displaces moisture, offers protection against UV rays and corrosion. Apply the spray thinly and evenly before each piping application and wipe off any excess with a dry cloth.
Regular damage assessment
Check your awning rail regularly for deformation, cracks and corrosion. Minor damage can often be repaired with a rubber mallet, a file or repair kits. In the event of major damage, however, we recommend replacing the rail so as not to jeopardise its functionality.
Care of the piping
Your piping should also be cleaned regularly. Use water and mild detergent and check the piping for cracks, breaks or deformations. In the event of heavy wear, replacement is necessary to ensure safe function.
Storage instructions
Store accessories with piping, such as awnings, in a dry and clean place to protect the materials as much as possible. Be careful not to kink or crush the piping, as this can permanently change the shape.
💡 Our tip
Adjust your care measures depending on the season. In winter, you should pay particular attention to moisture protection, while in summer UV protection should take centre stage. This allows you to extend the service life of your piping rail and piping and maintain their functionality.
