IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ:
Under certain conditions all awnings will suffer from internal condensation.
Depending upon the atmospheric conditions, the weather and the amount of
moisture in the ground, the condensation could be quite severe and is
commonly mistaken for leaking, especially as it can run down the inside of the
roof and drips off ties tapes and other internal fittings. If you suspect your
awning is leaking it is almost certainly condensation. Laying a waterproof
groundsheet (not a breathable carpet) throughout the whole awning will help
and condensation can also be improved by ensuring adequate ventilation. On
some awnings we offer an optional roof lining that can also help prevent
condensation and catch any drips of condensation that fall from the roof.
The Rally All Season material has a PU blade pigment, anti-ageing &
waterproofing, coating over its entire surface and the main seams of the
awning are sewn with a special waterproof sewing thread. This thread swells
when wet to fill the needle holes but the thread needs to become wet several
times before it is totally effective. This process is known as ‘weathering’ and it
may take several soakings for the weathering to be fully effective. Depending
upon your expectations, it may be necessary to treat some seams with a seam
sealant. It can also be applied to areas where a leak may have developed.
Seam sealant is available through your dealer.
The awning beading is also sewn to the awning with the special waterproof
sewing thread.
WELCOME
Thank you for purchasing your Kampa awning. Please read these
instructions carefully before attempting to set up your awning and retain for
future reference. If used properly, your awning should give you years of
trouble free use. We recommend that your awning is insured against
accidental and storm damage as this is not covered by the warranty.
This awning is designed for use in moderate to heavy weather. During
extremely strong winds or heavy snowfall we recommend that you take your
awning down. The awning is designed for touring and seasonal use; it is not
designed for static or commercial use.
We recommend a trial run before using your awning for the first time. This will
allow you to familiarise yourself with the awning, its set up and any limitations
the awning may have for your particular use. Please also check your caravan
awning rail to ensure that it is not damaged or has any sharp edges that could
damage your awning.
