Me my husband with the kids went camping a few weeks back but to our surprise we got rain when we got home we waited for a nice day and set the tent up outside in the back yard well of course it rained again and we got some winds that knocked over the tent weve been reseeting it up everyday but now cause of the winds we got got 1 split pole and 1 pole slightly bent I dont want to put the tent away wet so I was just wondering if I used the lowest setting can I put it through the washer and dryer


Answer
I put my nylon tent through the washer and the dryer. A few words of caution. One make certain that you use the setting for the largest load and the most delicate wash cycle. I put mine on the soak cycle for a few hours with Borax and detergent first. Borax eliminates odors and mine really stunk. Then, watch it carefully during the spin cycle. Mine had mosquito netting that I did not secure to the tent with a zipper and it tore during the spin cycle. Also, I added a waterproofer (available at the camping stores, some discounters and outfitters) to the rinse cycle to keep the tent from soaking through when used during a rain.

Finally, I put a few tennis balls in the dryer with the tent, no fabric softener and let her rip on the delicate/air dry cyle. I checked it often because it bunched up and had to be adjusted in both the washer and dryer.

Where is a good place to go camping in a tent in AZ?

I want to take her some place secluded and away from everything. She has never gone fishing and she wants to go this weekend. She also loves the outdoors with all of the trees and wildlife. So if you know of any place where we can pitch a tent and set up a little grill, that is away from traffic and the rest of the world, please let me know.
