Setting Up Your Own Annexe & Awning

Deluxe Awning Set-Up

1. Check that all required hardware is on hand, including a suitable hammer or

mallet (not supplied) for driving the pegs into the ground.

2. Zip the awning onto the camper trailer tent. The zip is zippered from front

(drawbar end) to rear. (TIP: Cable tie the zip slider to the eyelet at the rear of the

tent and this will reduce the likelihood of strong winds unzipping the zip when

set up). A step ladder or stool may be required to zip the awning on. Once on,

it is recommended that the awning remains permanently affixed to the camper,

eliminating the hardest part (zipping awning on and off) of the set up thereafter,

and also removing the need to climb on a step ladder. All CUB Campers

supplied with a full awning can be closed with the awning left attached to

the main tent.

3. Position large pegs (2 per pole) suitable for anchoring the

Upright Spigot Poles.

(TIP: Take 3 good size paces out from the Velcro patches on the side of the

camper tent and position a large peg with spring and rope attached. Take a

diagonal step back towards the camper, but away from the awning and this

should give an approximate 90° angle for the two end ropes when attached to

the upright spigot pole. In most cases, just one peg, rope and spring is sufficient

on the centre upright pole, and the spare peg, rope and spring could be used

elsewhere if required.)

4. Taking an

Upright Spigot pole

, remove the wing nut from the spigot, place the

spigot through the eyelet of the awning and place the wing nut back onto the

spigot. This will secure the awning to the

Upright Spigot pole.

Then place the

ropes (with a loop tied into one end) over the spigot and wing nut and apply

some tension to the rope. The

Upright Spigot pole

will now be quite stable. Move

onto the next

Upright Spigot pole

and continue until all are positioned.
