When you break down your pup are you supposed to zip up the four corners or just leave them. I bought my pup used and did not get any paper work. My pop is a Flagstaff if it makes a difference.

If you mean zip up the windows in the bunk ends we always zip ours up.

Yup, zipped closed is supposed to reduce the stress on the zippers.

Zip up the windows, and if you have curtains, close them to provide some abrasion protection when the sides are folded down.
Hope you guys are ok over there...looks like Texas is getting the tropical weather this year.

We unzip the 4 corners about 3/4th of the way when getting ready to pop down the camper. That's what our owners manual says to do.

That's what we did too. I zipped up the bed end "canvas" all the way, as well. As far as the drapes go, we didn't close them, but did make sure, when in the process of cranking down and stowing the "canvas" walls (in our case, they were canvas), to tuck the drapes in fairly neatly. They lasted, without undue wear, for 16 full seasons.

Un zip the corners 3/4 of the way is what the manual says. We reach through these corners to help tug the bunk-end roofs a bit farther into the body.
