Magnetic Drive Away Kit
One option to connect your tunnel to your vehicle is a magnetic drive away kit. These are optional and have to be purchased separately. They are used to connect a tunnel to
your vehicle when you do not have any other method (such as a VW camper van). To use a magnetic drive away kit :
• Take the figure of eight connectors (there will be more than one section) from the magnetic drive away kit and slide them onto the beading on the tunnel.
• Then slide the magnetic drive away kit into the other side of the figure of eight.
• Then you can place the magnetic side of the drive away kit to the side of your vehicle.
TIP: Whilst the magnetic drive away kit will hold the tunnel to your vehicle, it will not support the tunnel in moderate to high winds (we have found this during testing of many
different brands of magnetic drive away kits), so we also recommend that if you are using a magnetic drive away kit we still use the two guy lines at the ends of the tunnel (similar
to the ‘Over the top’ solution above) to secure the tunnel to the vehicle, in conjunction with the magnetic drive away kit.
Standard Drive away kit
A standard drive away kit is an optional piece of equipment (purchased separately) that allows you to disconnect a tunnel from a channel or roll out canopy without the need
to un-peg your awning. Drive away kits come in two different sizes : 4 and 6mm. You choose the size closest to the size of the channel on your vehicle or roll out canopy. Please
consult the instructions that came with your canopy/channel to find our which one you need. To use a drive away kit :
• Take the long double beaded webbing strap from your drive away kit out and slide this into your wind out canopy or channel.
• Then take the figure of eight section(s) from the kit and feed these onto the other side of the webbing strap.
• You can then feed the channel on the awning tunnel into the other side of the figure of eight sections which connects your awning tunnel to your vehicle.
TIP : Some drive away kits can be cut down to size, which can make it cleaner and easier to fit the drive away kit as they can be cut down to exactly the same size as you require,
removing any excess which can get in the way. Please consult the instructions/details that came with your drive away kit to confirm this before cutting.
