• Flysheet
• 3 Fibre glass roof poles
• 2 Rear poles
• 2 Adjustable roof support poles
• 2 front canopy poles
• Draught skirt
• Wheel arch cover
• Pegging ladders
• Bag of metal pegs
1. Assemble the  bre glass roof poles, these are shock corded together and just need slotting together and lay them
out on the ground.
2. Slide the awning beading into the channel on the caravan making sure it is on a horizontal section.
3. Starting at one end of the awning, push a  bre glass roof pole through the pole sleeve and connect the pole to
the top of the awning. Then place the end of the pole into the ring and pin system at the bottom of the awning.
The pin is on an adjustable webbing strap that should be loosened when inserting the pole but always retighten
the straps afterwards to ensure the awning is tensioned correctly.
4. Repeat this process for all remaining  bre glass poles.
5. Assemble the 2 rear poles together, go inside the awning and insert the  at end into the pocket at the top rear
corner and the bottom spike into the ground and tension. Repeat on the other side.
6. Go inside the awning and close all doors with the 2 adjustable roof support poles. Put one end into the pocket
in the front corner of the awning and the other into the pocket at the opposite side. Tension the pole and tighten
with clip. Repeat for the other roof support pole in the middle section of the roof.
7. Using the ladder bands and pegs provided, peg the rear corners of the awning closest to the caravan, making sure
the awning wall is pegged slightly underneath the van and peg out the front corners. Pegs should be positioned
at a 45˚ angle to ensure maximum grip. Peg all other points around the awning, pegging the points either side of
the doorways  rst – these doorways should be cross pegged (the points should be pulled across each other).
8. Peg out all guy ropes at a 45˚ angle to the awning.
9. To  t the draught skirt slide the draught skirt through the awning channel located at the bottom of the caravan.
10. The wheel arch cover can be  tted using a  gure of 8 rail (not supplied) that is attached to the draught skirt and
held in place above the wheel arch using awning suction cups (not supplied).
11. To convert the front panel of your awning into a canopy, fully unzip a panel door and lift up away from the  oor.
Place a pole into the metal eyelet that is situated at the end of the fabric then the opposite end of the pole to go
into the ground. Repeat on the other side.

It is important to erect your awning before its intended use, this will allow you to check that you have all the
necessary parts and will help familiarse yourself with the product.
Weathering
It is important to erect your awning and allow it to get thoroughly wet (by rain water if possible) and allow it to dry
naturally. This should be done 2-3 times to successfully weather your awning. If this is not done then your awning
may leak on its rst use.
Waterproong
All our awnings are supplied as waterproof, however all awnings have a maximum tolerance to water pressure and
once this is exceeded water seepage can occur.
During wet conditions try to prevent belongings or objects inside the awning from leaning against the side of the
fabric as this can allow water to seep in.
Additionally, avoid leaving valuable items such as mobile phones or other electrical items at oor level overnight or
during wet weather, so if leakage does occur your items will remain dry.
Condensation
Condensation can occur in any awning, but it is more likely to occur in nylon or polyester on non-breathable cotton
awnings and should not be confused with a leaking awning.
Moisture held in the air can, in certain conditions, form beads of water when it comes in contact with a cold surface
such as the outer skin of the awning.
It can be difcult to prevent condensation if you are in a damp or humid environment but many of our awnings come
with ventilation to combat this.
Mildew
This is a fungus that can attack the fabric of your awning if it is stored in wet or damp conditions and eventually can
rot the fabric. To prevent this from happening fully erect your damp awning and leave to dry as soon as you return
from your trip.
Cleaning
Dirt and stains can be removed by brushing with a mild pure soap solution. Never use detergents and do not scrub.
Rinse well and fully dry before packing away.
