ERECTION INSTRUCTIONS
Tip: REFER TO PHOTOGRAPH WHEN PUTTING UP COMPACTALITE PRO INTEGRA 250
Ideally this is a 2 person process to avoid awning damage.
1.
Lay the outer/flysheet and spread out on the ground, Ensure all panels are zipped up fully.
Before starting to put the
awning on your
caravan check the edges of the channel for any sharp corners or damage as this can snag the
fabric
and sometimes cause damage to the awning
. Slide the awning profile through the caravan rail, and spread
evenly across the caravan roof.
2.
Once the awning is in the desired position on your caravan open the pole bag and take out the 3 fibreglass roof poles
and 3 steel poles and lay out on the ground, (
Most poles are broken during pitching so take extreme care at this
stage) – Spare poles can be purchased from outdoor-revolution.com if you accidentally break one.
In the case
of the fibre poles ensure the poles are seated correctly within each of the metal ferrules when opening out.
3.
First attach the bracket pad inside the awning in the centre using the short piece of profile located up near the main
awning profile. Next take one of the fibreglass pole sections and slide through either of the outer roof channels, then
locate one of the steel vertical poles into position using the ferrel at the end of the fibreglass pole. After this has been
done locate the steel pole into position using the pin on the ‘ring and pin’ assembly located on the black webbing
around the foot of the awning and then tension the pole by using the fitted adjuster. Next push the centre pole through
the vent and attach inside the awning by placing the hook into the bracket pad attached earlier, then finally fit the
remaining pole the same way as pole 1. Finally clip the black plastic locating clips on to the steel the poles.
4.
You will now notice the two outer poles will drop inwards onto the awning canvas, in order to rectify this take the
stability strap on one end and peg out, this will pull the pole outwards and hold it in position whilst you work on setting
the awning, after you have done this repeat the process at the other end (only knock the peg in halfway as it is likely
you will have to reset this at the end.) After this has been done the back of the awning by the caravan should now be
pegged through the steel rings at the corners and the buckles tensioned slightly.
5.
The sections for the steel stabiliser pole should now be taken inside the awning. The shaped cross pole should be
opened out and the 2 legs should be attached. If you look at the front of the awning you will see a number of ‘zipped
sleeves’ and tapes these are to hold the stabiliser pole in place. Unzip the sleeves and offer up the assembly into
position and complete by zipping the sleeves and tying the tapes Then connect the pole legs at either side by using
the metal pins on ‘ring and pin’ assembly at the base of the awning, then finally zip up the sleeves.
6.
You may notice the front section of the awning may rise up off the ground this is not a problem and once you have the
corners pegged should pull back down (this is due to the tension on the steel stability bar)
7.
Now continue by placing pegs in the 2 front corners of the awning followed by pegging the remaining points along the
front, ensuring all pegging is in a straight line.
Remember
when pegging to use the ‘ring and pin’ assemblies as
pegging points through the centre of the ring. (Do not over tension as this can sometimes lead to damaged zips) TIP
pegs perform best when inserted at 45 degrees into the ground.
8.
Peg the gusseted flanges at the rear of the awning in such a way that a seal is formed against the caravan side. The
shock cord can be gently tightened to maximise this seal by pulling tight through the black toggle.
9.
Guy lines can now be tensioned and pegged (remember you may have to re-adjust the yellow stability straps you
positioned earlier) please ensure in heavy weather that
ALL
guy lines and the
stability straps
are used
.
10.
Take care not to over tension as this can damage your awning or awning zips. (Please note that failure to use all the
lines may result in your awning being damaged)

Please note these few points for trouble free camping.
a.
After use please take extreme care when packing away. Ensure the Compactalite Pro Integra 250 is
dry (including the poles) and air the tent before packing away.
b.
Any dirt or stains can be removed by brushing or gently washing with warm water. DO NOT use
detergents as this will destroy the waterproofing on the fabrics.
c.
We advise that you DO NOT cook or smoke in this awning; although the outer fabric is fire retardant
treated it will still melt.
d.
During use, particularly during rain, avoid touching the outer fabric as this may cause moisture to be
drawn into the porch awning.
e.
Please make sure that you have a good time.
**We highly recommend that you insure your awning against storm damage or accidental damage, as the warranty does
not cover such eventualities. The manufacturer is not liable for any damage caused to the caravan because of misuse,
incorrect pitching or extreme weather**
