SETTING UP YOUR CAMPER
Modern camper tents are designed with a roof height to accommodate taller people. The trade off with this kind of design is
the pitch of the roof is not always steep enough for water to run off effectively during heavy rain. To better prepare for wet
conditions it is advisable in most cases to increase the pitch of the awning/annex roof by lowering the corners furthest away
from the main tent. This should be done to the degree that water cannot pool on the roof.
Canvas is not designed to store water. Water pooling can stretch and damage canvas and in extreme cases bend the support-
ing poles of the camper. This is considered storm damage and is not covered by your camper manufacturer under warranty.
Lower the annex corner poles as seen in the diagram to increase the fall and evacuate water quickly. Ensure guide ropes are
adjusted accordingly
