If the issue persists, further investigation of the individual AirPole is needed; refer to the AirPole repairing and changing section of this manual.
Why does my Kampa Accessories awning appear to have a water leak?

The main seams of your Kampa Accessories awning have been factory taped to prevent leakage.

Why is my Kampa Ace AIR 400 awning leaking at the beading that attaches to the caravan?
When your Kampa Accessories awning has a water leak at the beading that attaches to the caravan it is because it is not possible to hot air tape the join between the awning and the caravan beading. Therefore Kampa use a special waterproof sewing thread, that swells when wet to fill the needle holes but the thread needs to become wet several times before it is totally effective. This is known as ‘weathering.’
