Alternate Set-up
The canopy can be set up so that the canopy legs are angled and attached to the side of the
unit. This eliminates the need to stake down the canopy legs.
Follow the previous Steps 1-6.
7a. Raise the roof of the unit to full height.
8a. Tilt the canopy legs towards the unit. Insert the
foot into the bracket on the side of the unit (
Fig 8a-

. Pull the bracket bar down to lock the canopy foot
securely in place
(Fig. 8a-2).
The alternate canopy set-up is complete.
Caring For Your Canopy
Rain can damage both the canopy fabric and the poles
if it is allowed to “pocket” in the fabric. It is very
important to have the correct slope in the canopy. If
rain is anticipated or forecast, lower one side to allow
adequate run off.
Do not use canopy structure to hang or hold ANYTHING. Doing so may
result in injury or damage to the canopy or vehicle.

Wind and rain can cause damage to the canopy, resulting in injury or damage
to the vehicle. If wind or heavy rain is expected fold up and stow the awning.
If leaving the vehicle for an extended period of time, stow the canopy to avoid
potential damage from weather changes.
