Awning Beading
Take each Shock Corded Pole
and slot together.
The Poles are folded down to
id storage. When fitting the
a
ole sections together, make sure that the pole body is
p
fully inserted into its adjoining ferrule.
AWNING
Slide the beaded rear edge into the caravan’s awning
channel.
Insert each shock corded pole into a sleeve, plastic bung
end first. The poles ends are held captive at the end of
the sleeve by a reinforced pocket.
The other end of each pole is held
captive by a pin on a ring fitted to
the end of an adjustable webbing
strap.
The ring is also used as the
securing point for the awning peg.
Starting with the pole at one end,
insert the ring pin into the end of the pole to bring the
pole under tension.
Continue until all poles are inserted and under tension.
ROOF TENSION POLES
To improve the awning’s rigidity, the two sets of
adjustable roof tension poles and adjustable rear support
bars will be inserted inside the awning once the main
erection is complete.
Slot the first set of roof tension poles together. Make sure
that the adjustable end section, fitted with a lock screw,
is loosely fitted.
Next, insert the fixed end of the roof tension pole into
the left hand upper retainer sleeve. Keep the pole captive
ithin the retainer sleeve as you walk to the opposite
w
ide of the awning.
s
Raise the pole and insert the adjustable end section in to
the right hand retainer sleeve. Carefully pull the pole and
end section apart to bring them under tension, then lock
in place by turning the lock screw clockwise.
Once in place, secure the tension pole with the captive
ribbons using a bow. Next, fit the second adjustable roof
tension pole to the lower retainer sleeves in the same
way.
Finally, fit the two adjustable rear support bars, one to
each rear corner of the awning. The pole’s flattened top
section must be inserted into the reinforced retaining
pocket found at each top rear corner, behind the
triangular reinforcing panel. Both poles should be
extended then locked by turning the lock screw
clockwise.
ENTRANCE
You should now ensure that all entrances to the awning
are closed with all zips fully secured. If this is not done
now, the awning will be out of alignment when fitting the
awning pegs.
AWNING PEGS
Starting with the four corners, secure the awning to the
ground using the awning pegs.
When inserting into the ground, the peg
should be set at a 45 degree angle away
from the awning. Pegs should be
hammered into the ground using a
suitable mallet and NOT pressed in with
the foot. Most bent pegs are caused by using your foot
rather than a mallet.
Peg removal can be made easier if you use a suitable
extractor.
GUY ROPES
Secure each guy rope, positioning its awning
peg at a suitable distance from the awning.
Once in position, tighten the ropes equally
to bring the awning into its natural shape.
DO NOT over tighten. To tighten, Hold the
rope above the slider and pull the slider up. To release,
again hold the rope above the slider and pull the slider
down.
Remember that all guy ropes are a trip hazard especially
in the dark.
FRONT ENTRANCE
The entrances can be rolled
up out of the way or you can
raise one to create a porch.
When closed, the zip
cover/baffle must be carefully
pressed into place ensuring
the Velcro tabs are aligned
and the skirt correctly
positioned, secured by tent
pegs, to avoid water ingress should it rain.
The awning is supplied with two porch poles which simply
slot together.
When used as a porch, insert the spike end of the porch
poles into the selected entrance’s corner eyelets then
hook a guy rope over the spike and secure to the ground
with a tent peg. Adjust each guy rope tension to bring
the porch square.
SIDE ENTRANCE
he side entrances are duel skinned with one
T
mesh (fly screen) and one solid. One or both can
be rolled back and retained by a set of loops and
toggles.
When closed, the zip cover/baffle must be
carefully pressed into place ensuring the Velcro
tabs are aligned and the skirt correctly
positioned, secured by awning pegs, to avoid
water ingress should it rain.
WINDOWS
All windows have curtains that can be closed and are
secured in place with hook and loop tape. When open,
carefully roll the curtain and secure with toggle and loop.
SAFETY
It is advisable to have a ‘Fire’ bucket filled with water,
placed outside the awning. Hopefully it will never be
needed, but if it is, you will be glad you made the effort.
The awning’s fabric is fire retardant, NOT fire proof and
therefore you must not smoke or use a naked flame in or
near the awning. This includes the traditional ‘camp fire’.
Guy ropes can cause a trip hazard and should be marked
so that passers by can see them.
Awning pegs are also a trip hazard and should not be left
‘half in’.
CLEANING, STORING AND REPAIRS
Cleaning…
Both inside and outside of the awning should only be
cleaned using fresh clean water and a damp cloth. Do not
use detergents or chemical cleaners.
The inner ground sheet can be washed with a mild
detergent.
Storing…
The awning is best stored in its original carry-bag,
however, if the awning is dismantled when wet, you MUST
not leave it stored until it has been thoroughly dried.
After a wet pack-up, erect the awning as soon as possible
and allow to fully dry naturally before repacking in the
carry-bag.
If stored when wet, the awning will suffer from mildew
and will become unusable.
Repairs…
Repairs to the awning should only be made by the
manufacturer’s recommended agents. Repairs made by an
unauthorised party will make the manufacturers warranty
void.
STORM AND WEATHER SUITABILITY
This awning is designed for light use in normal weather
conditions. It is not suitable for storms, gales, sub zero
or tropical conditions.
UV DETERIORATION
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can weaken the
fabric of the awning. To avoid the risk of UV
Deterioration, site the awning in a shaded area, where it
ill be protected from exposure to strong sunlight.
w
MOISTURE
Moisture collecting on the inside of the awning fabric is
condensation caused by the occupier. It is NOT a sign of
leakage.
Note that condensation or damage caused by it, is NOT
covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
SEAMS
This awning has all its main seams hot air taped to help
prevent leakage. The remaining seams should be treated
with a seam sealant to maximize the awning’s
weatherproofing.
Seam sealant should also be applied to main seams where
the tape has lost adhesion or has been damaged (tie
points or suspension points for example).
Seam sealant is available from your SunnCamp stockist.
DISMANTLING
To dismantle the awning, simply reverse the erection
procedure.
All poles must be dismantled and the awning should be
carefully rolled prior to placing back in the carry-bag.
