Fitting - Connection methods
How to fit the vehicle connector.
Connection Methods
You can connect to your vehicle using various different methods. Some of which are listed below, but
they are all optional. It is best to try a few different methods and find out which is best for you as
each method has its advantages and disadvantages.
Beading
• You can use the beading on the vehicle connector to connect to your vehicle. Your connector has
two beadings (4 and 6mm) on it. Simply slide the correct size beading (depends upon the channel
on your vehicle) into the channel on your vehicle, or wind out canopy etc. and you are ready to go.
Guy Lines
• Another option is to use the two pegging points located on either end of the connector. The guy line
on these points are thrown over your van and pegged onto the rear side of the vehicle, pulling the
connector against the van.
Drive Away Kits
• Another option to connect your tunnel to your vehicle is via a drive away kit. These are optional and
have to be purchased separately. There are two types, a standard version and a magnetic version,
but both are used in the same way.
• Magnetic Drive Away Kit
• One option to connect your connector to your vehicle is a magnetic drive away kit. These are optional
and have to be purchased separately. They are used to connect 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 your connector.
• 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 ‘Guy Line’ solution above) to secure the tunnel to the vehicle, in conjunction with the magnetic drive
away kit.
