Our Warranty necessitates that you unpack and erect this product prior to your first use to ensure that all
components are enclosed and in good condition. Please see our Warranty section for full details of our Warranty
conditions. If you find a component missing or a fault, please contact your SunnCamp stockist for advice.
SITE SELECTION
Select ground that is flat, smooth and dry.
Endeavour to locate the awning entrance away
from direct wind. DO NOT erect on rough
ground where sharp rocks etc may cause
damage to your product.
INFLATABLE TUBES
Your awning comprises of inflatable bladders
retained within a reinforced zipped oxford
polyester retaining sleeve to support the
awning’s flysheet. The inflatable tubes require a
maximum of 5psi pressure to provide rigid
support.
DO NOT OVER INFLATE AS THIS
WILL CAUSE THE INFLATABLE BLADDER TO
RUPTURE.
The air valves on the tubes are
attached with retaining straps but are not pre-
fitted and will need to be screwed into place
before inflation. Carefully screw the valve’s
body on ensuring that you do not cross the
valve’s thread. Do not over tighten but ensure
sufficiently tight to produce a good seal. Should
you require spare valves, these are available to
purchase from your SunnCamp stockist.
AIR INFLATOR PUMP
The awning is supplied with a manual air pump
specifically designed for use with the awning’s
air valves. You must not use any other type of
pump (including 12v tyre inflators or air
compressors). Before using the pump it will
require assembling. Follow the instructions on
the front of the pump. Please note that your
pump is fitted with a dump valve and it is
essential you use this to avoid over inflation.
AWNING
Lay the awning flysheet out on the selected
ground area with the entrance correctly
positioned. Slide the beaded rear edge of the
awning in the caravan’s awning channel.
Secure the awning to the ground by the corner
tags using the awning pegs. The inflatable
tube(s) is fitted with a single inflation valve
which is at ground level. Remove the valve cap
(turn anti-clockwise). The valve cap should be
attached to the valve body by a plastic tab, if
not, make sure you keep the cap safe ready to
replace once inflation is complete. Insert the
nozzle of the hose into the valve using firm
pressure. Operate the pump, making necessary
adjustments to the awning flysheet as the tube
inflates. It may be necessary to lift the tube(s) to
help position the tube(s) during the last stages
of inflation. Once you reach a pressure of 5psi,
stop pumping. Carefully disconnect the pump
nozzle and replace the valve cap. Repeat this
process for all the inflatable tubes.
DO NOT
OVER INFLATE AS THIS MAY CAUSE THE
TUBE TO EXPLODE. PLEASE READ THE
SECTION ON AIR PRESSURE
MAINTENANCE.
Bring the awning to an upright
position before pegging out the storm straps.
These may need to be re-pegged later.
STORM MATE STRAPS
Attach the storm mate straps supplied to the
storm mate clips. The storm mate straps are
designed and supplied to help secure the
awning in windy conditions but are not to be
relied upon as an anchor in severe adverse
weather conditions.
ENTRANCE
Ensure that all entrances to the awning are
closed with zips fully secured. Failure to do this
will result in your awning being out of alignment
when fitting the awning pegs.
AWNING PEGS
Peg the awning’s remaining pegging points to
the ground. Pegs should be inserted into the
ground at a 45 degree angle away from the
awning. Hammer the pegs into the ground with
a suitable mallet.
DO NOT PRESS PEGS INTO
THE GROUND WITH YOUR FOOT AS THIS
MAY BEND THE PEGS.
For extraction of pegs
use a tent peg extractor. To allow easy hooking
and unhooking of pegging points at entrances
to your awning (for opening and closing doors)
leave the pegs used at the entrances slightly
raised.
GUY ROPES
Secure each guy rope by positioning with a peg
at a suitable distance from the awning. When
pegged, tighten each guy rope using the guy
rope’s slider equally to bring the awning to its
natural shape.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE
GUY ROPES. GUY ROPES ARE A TRIP
HAZARD ESPECIALLY IN THE DARK.
ADJUSTABLE REAR WEATHER PAD
POLES
Fit the two adjustable rear support poles
vertically (one in each back corner) by inserting
the flattened top of each support pole into
reinforced retaining pocket positioned at the
awning’s rear corner behind a triangular panel.
The awning’s weather seal pads should be
positioned inbetween the caravan’s wall and the
support poles. Both rear support poles should
be extended and the mini quick lock brackets
locked to hold the poles under tension.
FRONT ENTRANCE/SIDE
ENTRANCES/WINDOWS
The front entrance of your awning can be rolled
out of the way or it can be raised to create a
porch. Should you wish to create a porch, a
porch pole set is available to purchase from
your SunnCamp stockist. When you close the
doors on your awning check carefully that the
zip covers are fully secured into place by
ensuring the velcro tabs are aligned. Ensure the
awning’s skirt is also correctly positioned and
secured by awning pegs. Failure to do this may
result in water ingress.
The windows have curtains which can be rolled
up and secured with the retaining toggle or
closed and secured in place with velcro.
WEATHER SKIRT
Ensure the awning’s skirt is also correctly
positioned and secured by awning pegs. Failure
to do this may result in water ingress.
SAFETY
The awning fabric use by SunnCamp is fire
retardant to British Standard and whilst fire
retardant it is not fire proof and therefore you
must not smoke or use a naked flame in or near
the awning. This includes traditional ‘camp
fires’. Guy ropes/awning pegs should be
marked so they are not a trip hazard.
