HOLIDAY 240 DUO, 240S & 240SE TRAILER TENT
We highly recommend that your trailer tent is insured against
theft and storm or accidental damage. Storm or accidental
damage is not covered under the warranty.
Before going away with your trailer tent, ensure that you are
familiar with the pitching of the trailer tent and that all parts
are present. You should familiarise yourself with the trailer
tent including any limitations it may have for your particular
use. A trailer tent is a portable structure, which, under most
circumstances, will provide comfortable shelter against the
elements. There are however extremes of weather for which
allowance should be made. DON’T B AME THE TRAI ER TENT.
Position:Sheltered owland/Valley
Weather:Fair/Moderate
Before a cotton trailer tent is used for the first time, it is
important that the tent is weathered. Pitch the trailer tent
when rain is expected, or alternatively when you have access
to a garden hose with a spray setting, and allow to get
thoroughly wet and then fully dry out. When the cotton of the
tent becomes wet for the first time the weave of the cotton will
close when allowed to dry under tension. There is no
predetermined time for weathering so do not be surprised if
there is a small amount of leakage through the canvas and
seams the first few times it rains.
The outer and inner trailer tent is made of cotton. Cotton is a
natural fibre and may contain some imperfections. These
should not be mistaken for faults and will not affect the
performance of your trailer tent.
Before pitching your trailer tent it is essential that you read
the following:
Try to choose a site that is relatively flat. Avoid sites where
the land may flood or that water will run down. DO NOT camp
directly under trees but a hedge or wall may provide shelter
against wind. AVOID areas with heavy pollution and where crop
spraying may be in progress.
1. On the chosen site it will be necessary to make the trailer
as level as possible and to take the weight of the trailer off
the wheels to provide a stable cabin.
2. Using the jockey wheel adjust the height of the trailer so
that the front end is about 5 cm lower than level. Drop the
rear legs of the trailer onto the supplied jack pads and
tighten locking screws.
3. Using the jockey wheel, raise the front of the trailer until
the unit is level. Drop front legs of the trailer onto jack
pads and tighten. ower jockey wheel slightly to allow the
trailers weight to be borne by the legs.
4. Unclip and remove the cover.
5. Disconnect 7 pin plug under the trailer. Release kitchen
legs until they are close to but not touching the ground.
Release side catches and lift off kitchen unit (this will
require at least two persons). oosen the locking screws for
the kitchen support bars and push support bars back into
trailer body. Adjust the kitchen legs to a suitable height
and ensure that the locking screws are secure. If not
required the kitchen can be stored under a trailer bed
board.

Swing over the near side cabin roof frames. The canvas will
automatically follow.
Repeat for the offside and then swing the central roof sections
up to the apex and connect the two sections front and rear.
Extend the cabin poles to their maximum length using the
spring buttons and fold over the left and right hand beds in
that order. Adjust the legs to provide level beds.
The core of the unit is the quick erect pegless cabin. Pegless
means that it doesn’t require pegging to the ground, saving
time and allowing the cabin to be used on hard standing.
The shock cord attaches to the cleats on the side of trailer.
Adjust the length of the shock cord to fit accordingly.
Undo retaining straps that secure inner tent and mattress to
the bed board and clip inner tent onto the frame using plastic
clips. (All Holiday trailer tents are delivered without the inner
tents or mattress covers fitted. Once fitted however the inner
tents can remain in situ and need only be unclipped from the
frame for folding).
Pull down cabin canvas and adjust the frame downwards so
that the pegging points comfortably reach the ground.
1. Zip the awning canvas onto cabin using the two heavy duty
zips and ensuring the zip covers are in place. Fold the
awning canvas over the top of the cabin to expose the
cabin’s front wall.
2. Study the frame diagram supplied with your trailer tent and
layout frame in situ. Starting with the three extension roof
poles that attach to the cabin frame (no. 7) build the
awning frame but do not attach the three short stub canopy
poles at the front.
3. Pull canvas back over the awning frame ensuring that the
front of the frame locates through the three cutaways in the
front of the awning canvas. Attach stub canopy poles to
the frame and pull canvas pockets over the poles.
4. Extend the three adjustable roof poles inside to bring the
canvas under tension, then lock in place by turning the lock
screw clockwise.
1. Peg the trailer tent in the following sequence:
a) Close all doors and other zips
b) First, peg one rear corner. Peg in line with the seam
inserting the peg at an angle of 45°.
c) Go to other rear corner and stretch the rear of the trailer
tent. The canvas will become taut without any creases.
Once again, peg in line with the seam as before.
d) Go to the front corners and repeat this procedure but
this time pulling the front leg forward and out with the
canvas, making sure that there are as few creases as
possible in front and side of the trailer tent canvas.
ANY DOORS OR EXTERIOR ZIPS MUST BE C OSED TO THE
BOTTOM TO SUCCESSFU Y PEG YOUR TRAI ER TENT.
e) Working from the rear centre pegging points, continue
to peg your trailer tent. The canvas should always be
taut with no creases and the pegs should all be in line
with each other. It is not necessary to pull the canvas
too far out - a straight line is preferable from corner to
corner. Cross peg all doorways to avoid excess tension
on zips and to prevent them from working their way
open.
f) When you are finished, the trailer tent canvas should be
taut on the frame with no “flapping canvas”. Each side
should be pegged neatly and in as straight a line as
possible. Where possible, pegs should be in line with
the seam.

It will be necessary at first use to fit the inner tents. This is
a simple procedure and involves inserting the mattress into the
base of the inner tent and clipping the top of the inner to the
cabin frame. The seat cushions also fit within the inner tent
to enlarge the bed. Once fitted the inner tents need only be
unclipped from the frame before folding. Then, along with the
mattresses are secured when folding by the retaining straps.
DO NOT PUT TOO MUCH STRESS ONTO THE INNER TENT
SUSPENSION POINTS.
The trailer tent should be guyed using the guying points
supplied on the trailer tent. Please note that guying is only
reliable if the correct tent peg is used and the peg is inserted
correctly (see following section).
General purpose pegs are supplied with this trailer tent and are
suitable in many instances. There are many types of pegs
available and it is up to you to choose the correct peg for the
job. Your sunncamp dealer will be able to give you advice.
The mudwall is located on the inside of the trailer tent awning
and a groundsheet can be laid on top of it in the living area.
These should be clipped on the curtain track and retained by
the curtain tape. Pack curtains separately if they are wet or
even slightly damp to avoid any possibility of colour transfer.
If possible, this should be done when the trailer tent is
completely dry. Reverse the erection procedure remembering
to unclip the inner tents before folding. Take care to fold beds
and cabin frame in the correct order - failure to do this will
result in damage.
P EASE TAKE EXTREME CARE WHEN TAKING DOWN YOUR TRAI ER
TENT IN WINDY CONDITIONS. DO NOT TRY TO TAKE YOUR
TRAI ER TENT DOWN ON YOUR OWN - GET SOMEBODY TO HE P
YOU.
CANVAS
This should always be packed away and stored completely dry.
If you have to take your trailer tent down wet then, at the first
possible opportunity, PITCH THE TRAI ER TENT TO DRY IT. DO
NOT EAVE IT PACKED WET. Damp storage will cause mildew and
may result in colour run. IMPORTANT: If your trailer tent is
wet do not pack curtains with canvas as this may result in
colour transfer.
NEVER clean your trailer tent with anything other than pure
water and a soft brush. NEVER USE detergents, petrol, turps
etc.
It may be necessary to re-proof your canvas at sometime. The
time will vary according to the amount of use and the
prevailing conditions. There are many good waterproofing
agents available - see your sunncamp dealer for details. NEVER
use aerosols or other chemicals close to your trailer tent
canvas.
FRAME
Take care not to put excess strain on your frame. When
erecting or dismantling, make sure that you do not over-extend
the spring links. Should this happen, your sunncamp dealer will
be able to supply replacements. Should your frame require any
lubrication of moving parts we advise the use of a silicon spray,
DO NOT USE ANY OI BASED PRODUCT!
KI CHEN
Ensure that the legs of the kitchen are securely tightened. The
front panel of the kitchen should be removed by lifting upwards
with the kitchen lid/s open. The Holiday 350 and 400 have a
split kitchen top. Only use the gas cooker with both lids open.
GAS CONNEC ION
The double burner & grill are designed to operate from either
butane or propane using regulators of the following operating
pressures:
Butane - 28 mbar
Propane - 37 mbar
The kitchen has a push on gas hose fitting and the gas hose
(not supplied) should be fastened using a suitable hose clip.
Connect and operate the regulator according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
FIRE PRECAUTIONS - REMEMBER, YOUR TRAI ER TENT CAN
BURN. CAMP SAFETY - FO OW THESE COMMON SENSE RU ES
• When siting, ensure a minimum distance of 6 metres is
between trailer tents
• Do not place cooking, heating or lighting appliances near
the sides or the roof
• Always observe the safety instructions for the appliances
• Keep exits clear
• Make sure that you learn the fire arrangements on the site
• Never allow children to play near lighted appliances
RAILER
The sunncamp trailer is designed to be as maintenance free as
possible. The chassis and trailer frame are galvanised to
provide superb corrosion resistance. It is however quite normal
for the finish to dull - this will not affect the performance or
durability of the trailer.

the recommend mileage interval or according to time
(whichever occurs first)

YRES/WHEELS
This trailer is fitted with 145 x 10 wheels and tyres. It is
essential for correct operation that the tyre pressures are
checked when cold. Tyres pressures will be found on the trailer
chassis plate. We recommend that a spare wheel is carried at
all times (optional at extra cost).
LOADING
Check the chassis plate for the actual weights for your trailer.
Do not exceed the MGW and ensure that the load is equally
distributed on the trailer. This trailer is designed to be nose
heavy so improving the towing characteristics. Check the nose
weight against the recommended nose weight for your towing
vehicle. Ensure that the trailer is not loaded too heavily at the
rear.

are removed from the trailer and stored in a warm dry
environment. Failure to do this may result in mildew damage
to these parts. If these parts are left attached to the trailer we
recommend frequent checks and airing of the unit to prevent
damage from mildew. The cabin canvas is easily removed from
the cabin frame.
If possible garage your trailer body whenever possible. If
stored outside protect the unit, especially the transit cover.
Beware of condensation forming either under any protective
cover or under the transit cover itself.
If possible, raise the tyres off the ground to prevent damage to
tyres but do not support the weight on the corner legs. Protect
the 7 pin plugs and socket with a liberal coating of petroleum
jelly.
