STRAND 390 ANNEXES
Erection Instructions
Thank you for choosing this SunnCamp ‘Strand 390 Annexe’.
Before attempting to fit this annexe to your awning, please ensure you have fully read and understood this instruction sheet. Should there be anything that is unclear to you, then please refer to
your supplier for additional instruction. If you follow these instructions when erecting and dismantling, packing and storing then you should enjoy many years of trouble free use.
It is essential that you check that all parts
listed above are present BEFORE leaving
home. It is also strongly recommended to
have a trial set up at home prior to proper
use. Failure to do so could affect your
warranty. If any part is missing, contact
your SunnCamp retailer for advice.
Unpack all the parts of your awning
annexe and ensure that everything is
present. Make sure that the carry bag is
put away somewhere safe.
All poles are in sections which are pre
linked together, take each pole in turn and
slot the sections together. Shock corded
fibreglass roof poles - Insert the fibreglass
section fully into the steel ferrule.
Adjustable steel leg poles - Ensure that
the swagged sections of these steel poles
are fully inserted up to their wider
shoulder.!These steel!poles are in two
pieces,!slide the adjustable end section
onto the main pole with the Quick Lock
Bracket open.!
Fully peg out your awning with the zip-out
panel in place before attempting to fit this
annexe, this ensures correct spacing and
alignment. Unfold the annexe’s flysheet
and locate the rear edge fitted with the
zip. Unzip one of the awning’s side panels
and zip in the annexe flysheet into
position (there are zip runners at both
sides which can meet in the middle).Take
a fibreglass pole and insert it through the
flysheet’s external sleeve across the roof
(for the Entry Porch ensure this is the main
roof sleeve not they canopy sleeve). Next
take a steel leg (with the angle at the top)
and insert one exposed end of the
fibreglass roof pole. The other end of the
leg should locate onto a ‘ring & pin’ at the
base of the awning (release the Quick
Lock Bracket when locating the pole end
onto the pin, then extend the pole to
tension and close the bracket’s lever
firmly). Repeat on the other side. The ring
to which the pin is attached is fitted to the
annexe by means of an adjustable
webbing strap, this can be loosened to
make fitting of the pole easy and then fully
tensioned to ensure a tight fit (this ring is
also used later as one of the pegging
points for the awning). Once the poles are
in place attach the flysheet’s fitted ‘C’
clips down the pole lengths. For the Entry
Porch now repeat this process with the
front canopy. Bring the annexe to an
upright position by pegging the corner
guy lines, these may need to be
repegged at a later stage.
You can now start to peg your annexe out.
All pegging points MUST be used what
ever the weather condition. Pegs should
always be inserted at a 45 degree angle,
pointing away from the annexe, for
greatest strength. Please note that the
annexe is fitted with ‘Ladder Band’
pegging points to allow height variation.
Always peg at a point on the ladder band
that applies tension to the flysheet but do
not over stress. The ladder bands are a
perishable component of your annexe
and should you need replacements,!are
available to purchase from your dealer.
Start by pegging the ladder bands at the
two points closest to the main awning.
Next peg the two front corners keeping a
straight line, achieving tension in all three
walls of the annexe. Finally peg all
remaining points around the awning
including those inside where the flysheet
returns along the wall of the caravan.
Never use your foot to push a peg into the
ground, always use a suitable mallet/
hammer for the type of peg being used.
ALL guy ropes must be secured, each
with it’s own peg at a suitable distance
from the awning. Tighten each guy rope
equally using the sliding guy line runner
to bring the flysheet into shape and under
tension. Do NOT overtighten! Remember
that the guylines pegged at the beginning
of the process may now need
repositioning to achieve the best results.
Having completed the pegging and
guying process, the flysheet should now
be tight and under tension.
The annexe is fitted with a weather skirt at
the base. Make sure this is neatly and
correctly laid and pegged out to help
shed away water from your awning.
The Bedroom Annexe is supplied with an
inner tent which can now be fitted if
required. Lay the inner tent out in place
on the floor with the fitted groundsheet to
the ground. Peg the inner tent down at the
webbing loop pegging points ensuring
that all four sides are under tension but
not overtight. Starting at the back, lift the
inner tent up and pass the fitted toggles
through the ‘O’ rings fitted to the annexe
flysheet.
The Entry Porch has a front door which is
fitted with a secondary mesh panel
allowing the door to open to providing
ventilation whilst keeping insects out. The
solid outer door and the inner mesh door
can be independently rolled to the side
and secured with toggle and loop fixings.
The Bedroom Annex has a ‘verandah’
style access panel at the rear for
ventilation purposes (this matches up with
a rear opening in the inner tent), which
rolls downward and when fully opened
can be secured in place with toggle and
loop fixings. When closing any of the
doors ensure that the the zips are fully
secured and the protective flap is in place
and secured by the velcro tabs to prevent
water ingress. When not in use the Entry
Porch door should also be fully pegged.

connection with or by reason of or the inability to use the awning for any purpose.
NOTE; Any claim(s) arising due to missing parts or faulty goods MUST be made before use. The manufacturer will not be responsible for any claims regarding missing

The following items are NOT COVERED by the products Manufacturers Warranty:
WARRANTY
Your new SunnCamp awning is covered by the Manufacturer’s Warranty against any manufacturing defect for a twelve month period from the date of purchase. During
this period the Company undertakes to replace or repair, free of charge, any defect which the Company considers to be due to faulty workmanship or material. Please
ensure you retain your receipts and proof of purchase for this period.
water ingress. When not in use the Entry
Porch door should be fully pegged.
The Entry Porch’s windows are fitted with
internal curtains for privacy. When
opening the curtains, they can simply be
rolled out of the way and secured with the
toggle and loop fixings. When closed the
curtains can also be secured in place
with similar fixings.
When taking the annexe down simply
reverse the set up procedure. Ensure that
you take all parts with you and that they
are clean and dry. Place the poles and
pegs in the bags provided before packing
the annexe away in it’s carry bag. Please
also to refer to, and take notice of, the
‘Care’ section on this page.
It is always advisable when camping to
have a ‘Fire Bucket’ filled with water in
case of emergencies. Please be aware
that your annexe is flame retardant but
NOT fire proof. Do not smoke, cook or use
a naked flame in or near this awning.
Try to keep your annexe well ventilated to
reduce condensation. Moisture collecting
on the inside of the flysheet is
condensation and NOT a sign of leakage.
All the main seams of this annexe are hot
air taped to help reduce leaking. Any
other seams, or where taping has become
damaged, should be treated with a seam
sealant.
Should you have to pack the product
away when wet or damp, the awning and
all parts (including guy ropes) MUST be
dried out fully as soon as possible and
not left packed wet for extended periods.
Failure to do so will result in damage to
your awning which is not covered under
your warranty.
The flysheet should only be cleaned using
fresh clean water and a clean coth. Do
not use detergents or chemical cleaners
as these will affect the waterproofing of
your awning.
Repairs to the awning should only be
made by SunnCamp’s recommended
agents. Repairs made by an unauthorised
third party will make the manufacturer’s
warranty void.
Prolonged exposure to UV can weaken
the flysheet’s fabric and reduce the tent’s
life. If possible try and camp in shaded
areas.
It is important to remember that carbon
monoxide can kill. Your awning is of
course well ventilated and does not
feature a sewn in groundsheet, however
still never use a fuel-burning appliance
inside your awning. Even a warm
barbecue can be lethal.
