1. Set-up Instruction
Note that the removable Kador strip
NOTE
and figure of 8 sections are sold
separately.
1.1.
First, take the awning and place it parallel to the van.
Leave approximately 1m space between the main body of
the awning and the van.
1.2.
Simulate hanging / positioning the connection tunnel to
check if you are at the right distance, then place your
tunnel back on the ground.
1.3.
Loosely peg the four main corners of the awning using the
large plastic pegs to secure in position.
1.4.
Insert a fibreglass pole into the front pole sleeve of the
awning, locate over attached steel pins either side and clip
flysheet to poles.
1.5.
Raise the pole using the front two storm straps and loosely
secure in place with large steel pegs.
1.6.
Working backwards towards the rear of the awning insert,
pin and clip the remaining poles.
1.7.
Before squaring out, close all of the awning's main doors.
1.8.
Depending on the attachment system that you have on
the van, feed the removable Kador strip into your C rail or
retractable awning (Kador strip sold separately).
1.9.
Then, feed the first figure of 8 section onto the Kador strip
(sold separately).
1.10. Feed the attached Coleman 6mm beaded awning strip
onto the figure of 8 section (see Fig F).
1.11. Slide on the remaining figure of 8 sections until the full
length is attached.
1.12. You can then adjust the tension of your awning using the
straps on each side of the tunnel (Fig. B).
1.13. Starting at the rear of the awning, square out the corners
and back and securely peg using the V shaped metal
pegs. The adjustable straps will ensure correct tension.
(Fig. A)
1.14. Placing pegs
1.14.1. Working towards the front, continue to insert the
steel pegs along the sides of the awning. (Fig C).
1.14.2. Use plastic pegs for guylines and storm straps.
(Fig. D)
1.14.3. Use flat head steel pegs to lay flat the main drop-
down doorway as well as the strap that sits at the
base of the porch (Fig. E).
1.15. Always use all of the guy lines and storm straps and take
care that the awning does not become distorted. Guy lines
and storm straps tension by adjusting using their runner's
or buckles. Check guy lines and storm straps regularly and
re-tension when necessary.
2. Removal Instructions
2.1.
Open inner awning doors.
2.2.
Open all main doors (including mesh doors) to ensure air
easily exits the tent when rolling, prior to placing in bag.
2.3.
Unpeg guy line and stake points. Detach your awning from
the vehicle rail.
2.4.
Remove all fiberglass poles from each pole sleeve, fold

2.6.
Fold the awning and roll it to fit the carry bag.
2.7.
Store pegs and poles bags into the carry bag.
2.8.
Ensure your awning is totally dry before storing to ensure
it is at its very best ready for its next use.
3. Care, Storage, Cleaning
3.1.
Store your awning in a dry, cool, well ventilated space
clean from dirt and debris. Never leave your packed
awning in direct sunlight – choose a dark area.
3.2.
Muddy awnings can only be washed using clean water and
soft sponge. Never use detergent, soaps, or a brush on
your awning – as this could damage fabrics and reduce the
waterproof properties of your awning.
3.3.
Never spray insecticides on or in the awning - as this could
damage fabrics and reduce the waterproof properties of
your awning.
3.4.
Should a waterproof seam tape become detached, this
can be repaired by removing the loose part and using a
seam sealer (inside) combined with a waterproof spray
(outside) to re-seal the seam.
