Failure in the poles normally occurs through incorrect use. Make sure that poles sec-
tions are fully inserted into their adjoining pole and do not over stress the pole beyond
its designed curve. You can purchase replacement poles from your dealer.
Zips should be treated with care, use two hands to close and open and never tread on
them. Never force a zip.
We strongly recommend that you carry a comprehensive spares kit including silicone
waterproof spray, seam sealer, tape for repairing split poles, and spare guy ropes and
pegs for extreme weather.
Repairs to the flysheet should be made by a company recommended by Kampa or
your supplying dealer. Repairs and alterations made by an unauthorised company
may invalidate your warranty.
UPRIGHT POLES
Two upright poles are supplied with this awning. They can be used to hold up the rear
tunnel or as canopy poles to hold the front door open as a canopy. Use guy lines to
support the poles.

Summary

Upright Poles

Description of Upright Poles

Two upright poles are supplied with this awning. They can be used to hold up the rear tunnel or as canopy poles.

Awning Care and Safety

Seams Maintenance

Main seams are factory taped. Remaining seams may need sealant due to wear or leaks.

Suitability and Usage

Designed for light to moderate weather and occasional touring use; not for static or commercial purposes.

UV Degradation Warning

Prolonged sunlight can weaken fabric. Extended use in strong sun may cause deterioration.

Condensation Management

Condensation can occur due to synthetic materials. Ensure adequate ventilation to improve the situation.

Safety Precautions

Do not cook in the awning or use naked flames. Read the fire precautions label sewn into the awning.

Dismantling Instructions

Reverse the set-up procedure. Ensure all parts are clean before packing. Dry the awning fully if wet or damp.

General Care Guidelines

Store opened out and dry. Air fully before packing. Store in a well-ventilated dry place to prevent mildew.

Setup and Attachment

Pegging Advice

Use general purpose pegs; consider different types for various grounds. Drive pegs at a 45° angle away from the pegging point.

Guy Line Usage

Use pre-attached guy lines to maintain tension without distorting shape. Ensure they run in line with the seams.

Vehicle Attachment

The awning has a tunnel to attach to a vehicle's rear. Options include pole/clamp fixing or Keder beading.

Pole and Clamp Fixing Method

Thread the pole through the tunnel sleeve and secure it in the vehicle gutter using the provided clamps.

Keder Beading Attachment

Thread the Keder beading into 'figure of 8' extrusion and clip to the vehicle gutter for attachment.

Guy Line/Rope Vehicle Attachment

Use guy lines/ropes to attach the tunnel to the vehicle if no gutter is present. Avoid damaging the vehicle.

Siting Recommendations

Choose a flat, wind-protected site. Position doors away from the wind for optimal setup.

General Setup Procedure

Lay a groundsheet. Assemble poles and legs, feed through sleeves, attach to brackets, and peg rear corners.

Final Pegging and Inner Tent

Securing Rear Legs

Stand rear legs upright and locate the pin into the base of each steel leg. Tighten adjustable straps.

Intermediate and Front Legs

Repeat leg securing for intermediate and front sets. Attach plastic clips onto respective steel legs.

Tensioning and Squaring

Pull front of awning to tension sides. Peg front corners square. Peg intermediate points and doorways.

Stretcher Pole Installation

Insert stretcher poles into front corner pockets, tension, and tighten. Tie intermediate tapes for support.

Inner Tent Installation

Hang inner tent from suspension points, ensuring door faces front. Attach base to corresponding buckles.
