GENERAL INFORMATION

The Veranda Room is designed to t on most Dometic awnings and many other RV awnings with a 3-1/2" roller tube. The rafter poles enable the Veranda Room to be the full length of the awning or (with the use of shorter front panels) the Veranda Room can be used on a portion of the awning. Separate front panels in shorter lengths are available from your dealer. The Veranda Room includes integrated privacy panels.

 The Veranda Room front is designed so there will be approximately 3 or more inches of awning fabric overhanging the Veranda Room on each side. This is provided to keep rain water from running off the edge of the awning to the inside of the Veranda Room.

A. Tools & Supplies Required for

Installation:

● Tape Measure

● Electric Drill

● Step Ladder

● Marking Pen

● 1/8" Drill Bit

● Caulking Gun

● Silicone Sealant

● Round File

● Straight Edge

● Hammer (optional for tent stakes)

● String & Plumb Bob

● Phillips Screwdriver

● Scissors or Utility Knife

GENERAL INFORMATION

Read ALL of the following steps before beginning installation.

During installation, care must be taken not to scrape and damage the panels and skirts.

In order to correctly match the Veranda Room to a particular awning-RV combination, the following information must be known:

a. Center of arm to center of arm dimension,

less 4' side panel and door allowance. Divide this gure by the 2', 4', and 8' panels and/or;

b. Optional Length divide by 2', 4', and 8'

panels.

c. The height of the awning rail (93" to 110"

standard height - 111" to 120" tall height). See FIG. 1.

FIG. 1

The Veranda Room front panel length is a combination of the door panel plus front panels. The size of the front panels is based on customer preference and the steps a or b previously listed.

For example:

19' Awning less 4' = 15

15 divided by 8=1 with 7 left over

7 divided by 4=1 with 3 left over

3 divided by 2=1

1 cannot be divided by any panel size.

The result is that a 19' awning needs (1 each) 8' panel, (1 each) 4' panel and (1 each) 2' panel.

If the customer preferred 4' panels then (3 each) 4' panels and (1 each) 2' panel are used. If 2' panels are used the same awning requires 7.

See Table 2 on page 4 for Dometic suggested awning length and panels required.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. The rst step to ensure proper installation of a

Veranda Room is to park the RV on a at and level surface.

2. Open the awning (1) so that the slope of the canopy approximates the angle of the side panels (2). See FIG. 2. Make sure that the roller tube (5) is level, and the roller tube is positioned as shown in FIG. 3.

The Veranda Room may be enjoyed with the awning support arms (3) (if applicable) in the Patio Position as well as in the RV Pivot Position.

4. Install the rst of two roller tube clamps (8) by aligning the roller tube insert (9) with the accessory channel (6) on the left hand end cap (7). Depress the spring button (10) to slide the roller tube clamp (8) to the right end of the roller tube (5). See FIG. 3 & FIG. 4.

Awning MUST be viewed from outside (NOT underneath) to determine left hand and right hand sides of the awning.

Front

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

5. Release the adjustment clamp (35) on the vertical pole (34) and extend the pole until it reaches the roller tube clamp (8). Insert the metal pin (36) on the end of the vertical pole (34) into the bottom hole of the roller tube clamp (8).

FIG. 6

6. There is a 3/16" diameter poly rope sewn into the top edge of the front panels (4). The front panels (4) are to be hung from the roller tube (5) by inserting the poly rope into the accessory channel (6) in the left hand end cap (7) and sliding it the entire length of the roller tube (5). See FIG. 5. Make sure this accessory channel (6) faces as shown in FIG. 3.

7. Zip the door and panels together to make the front screen assembly. The door can be installed on either end of the front or between panels.

8. While one person pulls on the leading edge of the front assembly, a second person feeds and guides the front panels (4) into the accessory channel (6). The installer can spray the accessory channel with a dry PTFE spray lubricant to make this operation easier. See FIG. 5.

9. Install the second roller tube clamp (8) by aligning the roller tube insert (9) with the accessory channel (6) of the left hand end cap (7). Depress the spring button (10) to slide up to the edge of the front panels (4). See FIG. 3, FIG. 4, & FIG. 5.

10. Repeat the procedure in Step 5 for the vertical pole (34) on the opposite end.

11. For the full width Veranda Room, place the front panel as assembled so that it is centered in relationship to the front of the awning.

A smaller Veranda Room used with a larger awning may be located in a similar fashion as long as the zipper at each end of the front panel is used as a guide to locate the roller tube clamp (8). See FIG. 3.

12. Measure the horizontal distance from the edge of the awning fabric (11) to the center of the top hole in the roller tube clamp. This is the dimension for the location of the pole holder (12). See FIG. 7.

FIG. 7

1314

13. Below the awning rail, measure and mark the same dimension on the side of the RV below the awning rail as measured in Step 12. Place the pole holder (12) directly below the awning rail (13) on the line and mark its center point. Use a 1/8" drill bit to make a pilot hole (14). See FIG. 7.

14. Apply silicone sealant to the screw (15) threads and secure the pole holder (12) to the side wall of the RV. See FIG. 7. Repeat Step 12 through Step 14 for the opposite side.

15. The rafter poles (16) are in two pieces for easy storage when not in use. Assemble the rafter by inserting the pole with the metal pin (17) into the pole with the rubber tip (18). Make sure the metal pin (17) is visible. See FIG. 8.

FIG. 8

16. Slide the rafter pole (19) assembly through one of the three pockets on the top edge of the side panels (20). The top pocket is for most vehicles with the awning high enough to be sloped down. The middle and lower pocket are used on RVs that need the awning to be relatively at. See FIG. 9.

When the awning is relatively at and the screen room pole is in the lowest position, roll-up the awning if rain is anticipated to prevent damages.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

FIG. 9

17. With the rafter pole (19) still in the side panel (20), place the rubber tip (18) into the pole holder (12) under the awning rail. Apply pressure on the rafter pole toward the RV wall compressing the spring and put the metal pin in the top hole of the roller tube clamp (8). See FIG. 4, FIG. 7, & FIG. 9. Repeat on the other end.

18. Make sure the height of the roller tube is adjusted so that all panels hang straight and level. See FIG. 10 & FIG. 11.

19. Slide three poly rope clips (21) onto the poly rope sewn on the side panel. Position the top poly rope clip about 4" directly below the pole holder (12) and drill a 1/8" pilot hole (23) for the installation of the twist fastener (24). Use a string and plumb bob to place the remaining twist fasteners (24) evenly spaced in a straight line down the wall of the RV. See FIG. 12 & FIG. 13.

The side panel assembly comes with eight poly rope clips (21) and twist fasteners (24). Only three clips are required for each side. The extra are spares and can be used if necessary. If the side panel is over a window or storage compartment door, place the poly rope clips immediately above and below.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

22. Make sure the RV entrance steps are in the extended or down position.

 If the RV is equipped with an automatic entry step, make sure the automatic operation is disabled. Make sure this step remains in the “down” or “extended” position while installing and using the product.

23. The vehicle skirting (25) is one piece of fabric 300" long. The skirt is to be cut to t the Veranda Room on which it is installed. The twist fasteners (26) for the skirt need to be screwed into a solid structure that is 1 to 2" from the bottom of the RV wall. The skirt must extend past the end of the right and left side panels (27) 3 to 4". See FIG. 14.

FIG. 14

25. Locate the step and determine the uppermost part (30) of it by feeling. Mark the edges of the step on each side (31). See FIG. 15.

FIG. 15

26. Measure down from the top edge of the skirt to the lowest part of the step (32). Add 1/4" to this measurement. Mark a line for the cut for the step on the skirt fabric. See FIG. 15.

27. Draw three lines (33) for the step ap on the skirt fabric and cut with scissors or a utility knife. See FIG. 16.

FIG. 16

Marks For The Top And Widest Part Of Step

24. Drill a 1/8" pilot hole for the twist fastener at the right/left corner of the Veranda Room. Mark the opposite end of the fabric to be trimmed 3 to 4" past the end of the Veranda Room. Square and cut off. Pull the vehicle skirt (25) taut and nish installing the twist fasteners (reference Step 20) in a straight line along the bottom of the RV. The remaining corner (if eyelet is cut off when skirt is cut to length) is held in place by attaching the 1x3" hook and loop fasteners (28) supplied in the kits. See FIG. 14.

 Skirting MUST not interfere with appliance venting. Do NOT start or operate the RV engine or RV generator if exhaust vents are located behind skirting. Death or serious injury from Carbon Monoxide Poisoning could occur if

NOT operated properly.

Skirt Top

Measure Down From Top Of Skirt To Lowest Part Of Step

28. Tuck the ap of the skirt behind the step to keep out insects.

29. The wheel well skirts (29) are installed in the same way as the main skirt. They are centered on the wheel well. Peel the backing of the hook and loop fasteners (28) and attach to the RV. Two skirts are provided with the Veranda Room door and side panel assembly. Both are used on dual axles. Triple axles will require three wheel well skirts. Order additional wheel well skirt part number 3307975.007. See FIG. 14.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

30. Secure all panels and vehicle skirting by driving the tent stakes inside the room, through the grommets into the ground.

Since the Veranda Room comes in an adjustable height, it is designed such that adjustment for height can be achieved by shortening the bottom of the panels. This is done by folding the excess fabric at the bottom of the panels so that the grommets line up with one another.

The fabric may be folded by folding back and forth upon itself as shown in FIG. 17, or by rolling the fabric as shown in FIG. 18. Either step is repeated until fabric reaches the correct length for the vehicle. After the correct length has been established from inside the room through the grommets, stake to the ground.

FIG. 17

FIG. 18

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

 Do NOT operate appliances venting into this room enclosure with privacy panels closed. At least one panel MUST be open for ventilation when using appliances. Death or serious injury from Carbon Monoxide Poisoning could occur if NOT operated properly.

The privacy panels can be rolled up and fastened with the use of straps to allow for ventilation of the Veranada Room.

 During rain, lower the end furthest from the door to allow water to ow off awning. Whenever heavy or prolonged rain or wind is anticipated or you will leave the awning and screen room unattended, it is best to remove the screen room and close the awning. Damage as a result of weather is NOT covered by warranty.

When the awning is relatively at and the screen room pole is in the lowest position, it should be rolled up if rain is anticipated to prevent damages.
