Stretch the roof rafters (4) and apex to eave poles
(10) - apply as much pressure as possible without
causing any damage. Raise the legs to their ap-
proximate correct height
—check that the pegging
points still comfortably reach the ground (L).
PEGGING
Start pegging at the rear of the awning closest to
the caravan. Take the rear corners and peg them
as close to and preferably slightly under the cara-
van, this will give a close fit. Next peg the front cor-
ners making sure that you pull the pegging point
and the corner frame leg in a diagonal direction
away from the caravan - this will give good tension
to the front and sides. Adjust the legs as neces-
sary. Peg the intermediate pegging points, pegging
the points either side of doorways first. These
doorways should be cross pegged - the points
should be pulled across each other. Once com-
pleted the awning should look taut without too
many creases - if necessary readjust the pegging
and adjust the height of the legs and tension the
roof poles.
STORM TIE DOWNS
If you are expecting to use your awning in windy
weather we recommend the sue of the optional tie
down kit. The Jamboree comes complete with fix-
ings - just clip each tie down into the buckle (M)
and firmly peg the other end (N). We do not recom-
mend the use of tie down kits that go over the awn-
ing roof as these can damage the frame and can-
vas.
PEGS
The Jamboree awning comes complete with gen-
eral purpose plastic pegs. These will be suitable
for many sites but there will be some instances
where different pegs will be necessary. Your
dealer will stock a range of pegs suitable for differ-
ent types of ground. For maximum effectiveness,
pegs should be driven into the ground at a 45°angle
away from the pegging point. CAUTION: Pegs can
be sharp. Do not allow children to play around the
awning and ensure that suitable protective footwear
is worn.

DRAUGHT SKIRT
The supplied draught skirt should be pulled through
the awning rail at the bottom of your caravan (O).
CURTAINS
The curtains should be attached to the curtain track
above each window. Curtains should be removed
when setting down and packed separately away
from the awning canvas to prevent colour transfer if
slightly damp.
MUD SKIRT
The Jamboree comes with an internal mud skirt to
keep out draughts. The mud skirt has eyelets that
can be used with pegs to secure it to the ground.
DO NOT use the mud skirt to peg your awning
down.
ZIP OUT PANELS
Both side panels and the front panels can be
zipped out to provide ventilation or to act as a sun
canopy. The side panels also have ventilation pan-
els
—the outer flap can be rolled up to increase ven-
tilation (P/Q). The side panels can also be used in
a veranda style arrangement, perhaps to keep chil-
dren or pets safe whilst allowing plenty of ventila-
tion.
