IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ:
Under certain conditions all awnings will suffer from internal condensation.
Depending upon the atmospheric conditions, the weather and the amount of
moisture in the ground, the condensation could be quite severe and is
commonly mistaken for leaking, especially as it can run down the inside of the
roof and drips off ties tapes and other internal fittings. If you suspect your
awning is leaking it is almost certainly condensation. Laying a waterproof
groundsheet (not a breathable carpet) throughout the whole awning will help
and condensation can also be improved by ensuring adequate ventilation. On
some awnings we offer an optional roof lining that can also help prevent
condensation and catch any drips of condensation that fall from the roof.
The awning material has a waterproof PU coating over its entire surface and
the main seams of your awning have been factory taped to help prevent
leakage. Depending upon your expectations, it may be necessary to treat the
remaining seams with a seam sealant. Seams treated with seam sealant
cannot leak. Seam sealant should also be applied to areas where the taping is
damaged or has peeled away through wear and tear. It can also be applied to
areas where a leak may have developed. Seam sealant is available from your
dealer.
The awning beading is sewn to the awning with a special waterproof sewing
thread. This thread swells when wet to fill the needle holes but thread needs
to become wet several times before it is totally effective. This process is known
as ‘weathering’ and it may take several soakings for the weathering to be fully
effective. This area can also be treated with seam sealant.
WELCOME
Thank you for purchasing your Kampa awning. Please read these
instructions carefully before attempting to set up your awning and retain for
future reference. If used properly, your awning should give you years of
trouble free use. We recommend that your awning is insured against
accidental and storm damage as this is not covered by the warranty.
This awning is designed for use in light to moderate weather. During strong
winds or snowfall we recommend that you take your awning down. The
awning is designed for touring use; it is not designed for semi-static, static or
commercial use.
We recommend a trial run before using your awning for the first time. This will
allow you to familiarise yourself with the awning, its set up and any limitations
the awning may have for your particular use. Please also check your caravan
awning rail to ensure that it is not damaged or has any sharp edges that could
damage your awning.
