IMPORTANT:
Awnings contain a high proportion of synthetic materials and
under certain conditions will be affected by condensation in-
side the awning. This should not be confused with leaking
and condensation can be improved by ensuring adequate
ventilation.
The main seams of this awning have been factory taped to
help prevent leakage. Depending upon your expectations, it
may be necessary to treat the remaining seams with a seam
sealant. Seam sealant should also be applied to areas where
the taping is damaged or has peeled away through wear and
tear. It can also be applied to areas where a leak may have
developed. Seam sealant is available through your dealer.
Before setting up it’s worth taking note of how the awning is
folded when you receive it. This will make it easier to fold.
WELCOME
Thank you for purchasing your Kampa awning. Please read these instruc-
tions 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 light to moderate weather. During strong
winds or snowfall we recommend that you take your awning down. The awn-
ing is designed for touring 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.

CARE
Awnings are best stored opened out. Air fully and ensure it is totally dry before pack-
ing away. Store in a well ventilated dry place. A wet/damp awning will develop mildew
surprisingly quickly.
Dirty awnings can be washed using clean water and a soft brush. Do not scrub and
never use detergents.
Poles should be protected from damage and should be stored completely dry to pre-
vent corrosion of the ferrules. Damage due to improper use, wind damage or neglect
is not covered under the warranty. Have any damage repaired at the first opportunity.
Failure in the poles normally occurs through incorrect use. Make sure that poles sec-
tions are fully inserted into their adjoining pole and do not over stress the pole beyond
its designed curve. You can purchase replacement poles from your dealer. Connect-
ing springs or shock cord, used to connect poles together, are consumable parts and
are not covered under this guarantee.
Zips should be treated with care, use two hands to close and open and never tread on
them. Never force a zip.
We strongly recommend that you carry a comprehensive spares kit including silicone
waterproof spray, seam sealer, tape for repairing split poles, and spare guy ropes and
pegs for extreme weather.
Repairs to the flysheet should be made by a company recommended by Kampa or
your supplying dealer. Repairs and alterations made by an unauthorised company
may invalidate your warranty.
