It is a requirement of the warranty that you unpack and erect this awning at home prior to proper use. This will enable you to familiarise yourself with the awning and
cheek all parts are present and in good condition. If you find a part missing or a fault with your awning, contact your SunnCamp stockist for advice.
SITE SELECTION
Choose a location where the ground is flat,
smooth and dry. Attempt to position the awning
entrance away from the directions of any wind.
Do not position on sharp, rocky or rough
ground.
GETTING STARTED
Unpack the awning and place the carry-bag
somewhere safe. Separate all components and
cheek that everything is present.
POLES
Take each Shock Corded Pole and slot
together. The poles are folded down to aid
storage. When fitting the pole sections together,
make sure that the pole body is fully inserted
into its adjusting ferrule.
AWNING
Lay the awning on the selected ground area
with the entrance correctly positioned.
Insert each shock corded pole into a sleeve.
There are two sets of plastic pole clips on each
leg which should now be secured to the poles to
help to bring the tent flysheet into the correct
shape. Each pole end is held captive by a pin
on a ring fitted to the end of a webbing strap.
The ring is also used as the securing point for
the awning peg. Starting with one of the poles,
insert the ring pin into the end of the pole. Next,
go to each of the other four corners and insert
the ring pin into the pole ends to bring the pole
under tension and the awning to an upright
position.
ENTRANCE
You should now ensure that all entrances to the
awning are closed with all zips fully secured. If
this is not done now, the awning will be out of
alignment when fitting the awning pegs.
AWNING PEGS
Secure the flysheet to the ground by inserting
awning pegs through the pegging points.
When inserting into the ground, the peg should
be set at a 45 degree angle away from the
awning. Pegs should be hammered into the
ground using a suitable mallet and NOT
pressed in with the foot. All guylines must also
be pegged out securely at all times.
REAR ENTRANCE
The awning has a rear entrance which should
be closed whenever your motorhome /
campervan is driven away.
SAFETY
It is advisable to have a ‘Fire’ bucket filled with
water, placed outside the awning.
Hopefully it will never be needed, but if it is, you
will be glad you made the effort.
The awning fabric is fire retardant, NOT fire
proof and therefore you must not smoke or use
a naked flame in or near it. This includes the
traditional ‘camp fire’.
Guy ropes can cause a trip hazard and should
be marked so that passers by can see them.
Awning pegs are also a trip hazard and should
not be left ‘half in’.
CLEANING, STORAGE AND REPAIRS
Cleaning…
Both inside and outside of the awning should
only be cleaned using fresh clean water and a
damp cloth. Do not use detergents or chemical
cleaners.
Storing…
The awning is best stored in its original carry-
bag. However, if the awning is dismantled when
wet, you MUST thoroughly dry the awning as
soon as possible. After a wet pack-up, erect the
awning as soon as possible and allow its
flysheet, guy ropes and of course the carry-bag
to fully dry naturally before repacking everything
away. If stored when the flysheet and / or guy
ropes are wet, the awning will suffer from
mildew and will become unusable. Please note
that damage caused by incorrect storage is
NOT covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
The valves body should be left unscrewed from
the air tubes when packing away the awning.
Please refer to the section headed VALVES.
Repairs…
Repairs to the awning should only be made by
the manufacturer’s recommended agents.
Repairs made by an unauthorised third party
will make the manufacturer’s warranty void.
UV DETERIORATION
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can
weaken the fabric of the awning. To avoid the
risk of UV deterioration, site the awning in a
shaded area, where it will be protected from
exposure to strong sunlight.
MOISTURE
Moisture collecting on the inside of the awning’s
fabric is condensation caused by the occupier;
It is NOT a sign of leakage.
Note that damage caused by condensation, is
NOT covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
SAFETY WARNING: BBQ’S/GAS
APPLIANCES
Your tent has a sewn in label warning against
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. Please be
aware of carbon monoxide poisoning and do
not under any circumstances use or leave a
used BBQ (even if you think it is still not
burning) in your awning or tent.
DISMANTLING
To dismantle the awning, simply reverse the
erection procedure.
Do make sure that the entrance is left open to
allow air to escape when rolling the fly sheet up.
All poles must be dismantled and the awning
should be carefully rolled prior to placing back
in the carry-bag.
STORM AND WEATHER SUITABILITY
This awning is designed for light use in normal
weather conditions. It is not suitable for storms,
gales, sub zero or tropical conditions.
WARRANTY
Please refer to the separate warranty sheet that
is enclosed with your Tent/Awning.

Overview

This document provides comprehensive instructions and warranty information for the SunnCamp Lodge 200 Motor awning, designed for use with motorhomes or campervans. The manual emphasizes proper setup, maintenance, and safety to ensure the longevity and safe operation of the awning.

Function Description

The SunnCamp Lodge 200 Motor is an awning designed to extend the living space of a motorhome or campervan. It provides a sheltered area that can be used for various activities, offering protection from the elements. The awning is constructed with a flysheet, supported by shock-corded poles, and secured to the ground with pegs. It features a main entrance and a rear entrance, the latter designed to be closed when the motorhome/campervan is driven away. The fabric is fire retardant, enhancing safety, though it is not fireproof. The awning is intended for light use in normal weather conditions, providing a comfortable and protected space adjacent to the vehicle.

Usage Features

Pre-Use and Setup: Before initial use, it is a mandatory warranty requirement to unpack and erect the awning at home. This practice allows users to familiarize themselves with the setup process and verify that all parts are present and in good condition. Any missing parts or faults should be reported to a SunnCamp stockist immediately.

Site Selection: The awning should be pitched on flat, smooth, and dry ground. It is recommended to position the awning's main entrance away from prevailing winds. Users should avoid setting up the awning on sharp, rocky, or rough terrain to prevent damage.

Getting Started: Upon arrival at the chosen site, the awning should be unpacked, and the carry-bag stored safely. All components must be separated and checked against the provided list to ensure everything is present.

Pole Assembly: The awning utilizes shock-corded poles. Each pole section must be slotted together, ensuring that the pole body is fully inserted into its adjusting ferrule. These poles are designed to fold down for compact storage.

Awning Erection: The awning should be laid out on the selected ground area with the entrance correctly oriented. Each shock-corded pole is then inserted into its designated sleeve. The awning features two sets of plastic pole clips on each leg, which are secured to the poles to help shape the flysheet. Each pole end is held captive by a pin on a ring, which is part of a webbing strap. This ring also serves as the securing point for the awning peg. To erect the awning, the ring pin is inserted into the end of one pole, then repeated for the other four corners. This action tensions the poles and brings the awning to an upright position.

Entrance Management: Before pegging the awning, all entrances must be fully closed and zipped. Failure to do so will result in the awning being out of alignment when the pegs are inserted.

Awning Pegging: The flysheet is secured to the ground by inserting awning pegs through the designated pegging points. Pegs should be inserted at a 45-degree angle away from the awning. A suitable mallet should be used to hammer the pegs into the ground; pressing them in with a foot is not recommended. All guylines must also be securely pegged out at all times.

Rear Entrance: The awning includes a rear entrance. This entrance should always be closed when the motorhome or campervan is driven away to maintain the awning's integrity and prevent unwanted access or drafts.

Safety Precautions: It is advisable to keep a 'Fire' bucket filled with water outside the awning for emergencies. The awning fabric is fire retardant but not fireproof; therefore, smoking or using naked flames (including traditional campfires) inside or near the awning is strictly prohibited. Guy ropes pose a trip hazard and should be marked clearly to ensure visibility. Awning pegs also present a trip hazard if not fully inserted into the ground.

Dismantling: To dismantle the awning, the erection procedure is simply reversed. It is crucial to leave the entrance open to allow air to escape while rolling up the flysheet. All poles must be dismantled, and the awning should be carefully rolled before being placed back into its carry-bag.

Storm and Weather Suitability: This awning is designed for light use in normal weather conditions. It is not suitable for storms, gales, sub-zero temperatures, or tropical conditions. Using the awning in such conditions may lead to damage and is not covered by the warranty.

Maintenance Features

Cleaning: Both the interior and exterior of the awning should only be cleaned with fresh, clean water and a damp cloth. Detergents or chemical cleaners should not be used, as they may damage the fabric or coatings.

Storage: The awning is best stored in its original carry-bag. If the awning is dismantled while wet, it is imperative to thoroughly dry it as soon as possible. After a wet pack-up, the awning should be re-erected to allow its flysheet, guy ropes, and carry-bag to fully air dry naturally before repacking. Storing the awning when the flysheet and/or guy ropes are wet will lead to mildew and render the awning unusable. Damage caused by incorrect storage is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty. The valve bodies should be left unscrewed from the air tubes when packing away the awning (if applicable, referring to a separate "VALVES" section for details).

UV Deterioration: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can weaken the awning's fabric. To prevent UV deterioration, the awning should be sited in a shaded area, protecting it from strong sunlight. Damage caused by UV degradation is not covered by the warranty.

Moisture and Condensation: Moisture collecting on the inside of the awning is typically condensation caused by the occupants, not a sign of leakage. Damage caused by condensation is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

Repairs: Repairs to the awning should only be carried out by agents recommended by the manufacturer. Any repairs performed by an unauthorized third party will void the manufacturer's warranty.

Warranty Information: The SunnCamp Lodge 200 Motor is covered by a Manufacturers Warranty against manufacturing defects for twelve months from the date of purchase. The company undertakes to replace or repair, free of charge, any defect deemed to be due to faulty workmanship or material. Users must retain their receipts and proof of purchase.
