Drive Away Awnings
Using the connection tunnel
Drive away awnings:
Tunnel fitting.....continued
Using a wind out canopy
NOTE
: This method connects the tunnel to your canopy. As you are only using the tunnel (as it is zipped off your awning, there is no change of damaging your canopy due to
weight and it makes this process much easier.
• All wind out canopies (such as Fiama F45, Thule Omnistore, Prostor etc.) have a channel along the front of them. This channel can be used the same as the ‘using the
beading’ example previously.
• Roll out your wind out canopy so the front of the canopy is at a manageable height.
• Slide the tunnel into the canopy and position where required. Once on the canopy, wind the canopy back into its cassette, so the tunnel is taken right up against the side of
your vehicle.
• At this point you are now ready to zip the tunnel to your awning to complete your pitching. (See pitching instructions later)
Using a magnetic Drive Away Kit
One option to connect your connection 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.
