IMPORTANT:
Awnings contain a high proportion of synthetic materials and
under certain conditions will be affected by condensation in-
side the awning. This should not be confused with leaking
and condensation can be improved by ensuring adequate
ventilation.
The main seams of this 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. 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 through your dealer.
The awning beading is sewn to the awning with a special wa-
terproof 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’.
WELCOME
Thank you for purchasing your Kampa awning. Please read these instruc-
tions 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 awn-
ing is designed for touring use; it is not designed for 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.
