It is essential that you check that all parts listed above are present BEFORE leaving home. It is also 
strongly recommended to have a trial set up at home prior to proper use. Failure to do so could affect your 
warranty. If any part is missing, contact your SunnCamp retailer for advice.  

 

BEFORE YOU START  

Unpack all the parts of your awning and 
ensure that everything is present. Make 
sure that the carry bag is put away 
somewhere safe. Choose a location where 
the ground is flat, smooth and dry. Attempt 
to position the awning entrance away from 
the direction of the wind. Do not position 
on sharp rocky ground.    

POLES  

All poles are in sections which are pre-
linked together, take each pole in turn and 
slot the sections together.  

Shock corded fibreglass roof poles

 – insert 

the fiberglass section fully into the steel 
ferrule. Please note that your porch shock 
corded fibreglass pole is colour coded grey 
so that you can identify it easily. The roof 
shocked corded fibreglass poles are black. 

Remove the elbow fittings from the 
protective bags. The elbow fittings are 
joined to the flysheet by elastic cord and 
must not be removed.  

Insert the end of each pole into the elbow 
fittings. Please note that the elbow fitting 
has a narrow aperture for the shock corded 
poles, roof poles/porch poles and a wider 
aperture for the steel leg poles. 

Each leg slots into a pin and ring. The pin 
and ring are attached to a fixed webbing 
strap. The ring is also used as the securing 
point for the tent peg. 

Starting with one pole, insert the ring pin 
into the end of the pole. Repeat for the 
remaining poles.  

 

Clip the top cap in position whilst the 
annexe is at it’s lowest position…ie before 
raising the legs to the correct height. If you 
forget to attach the top cap at this stage you 
can clip it on whilst the annexe is in the 
upright position but to aid accessibility 
remove the side panels.  

Attach the pole clips onto each pole to bring 
the awning flysheet into the correct shape.  

Bring the awning to an upright position by 
pegging out the guy ropes.  

Ensure that all entrances to the awning are 
closed and all zips fully secured.  

PEGGING

 

You can now start to peg your awning out. 
All pegging points MUST be used whatever 
the weather condition. Pegs should always 
be inserted at a 45 degree angle, pointing 
away from the awning, for greatest strength. 
Peg each corner first keeping a straight line 
and achieving tension on each corner. 
Finally peg all remaining pegging points 
around the annexe remembering to cross 
peg straps at each zip out section This keeps 
the zip at the correct tension). Never use 
your foot to push a peg into the ground, 
always use a suitable mallet/hammer for the 
type of peg being used.  

 
GUY ROPES  

All guy ropes must be secured, each with it’s 
own peg at a suitable distance from the 
awning. Tighten each guy rope equally using 
the sliding guy line runner to bring the 
flysheet into shape and under tension. DO 
NOT over tighten! Remember that the guy  

 

ropes pegged at the beginning of the 
process may now need repositioning to 
achieve the best results. Having completed 
the pegging and guying process, the flysheet 
should now be tight and under tension.  

REAR ENTRANCE  

The rear tunnel is added as a temporary 
walk way between the vehicle and motor 
annexe and can be attached via the double 
figure of eight channel fitting onto the tunnel 
beading, or via the tunnel guy rope points. 
The method of fitting is usually determined 
by the features of the motor vehicle. Due to 
the annexe being a drive away type a 
compromise fitting may only be achieved. 
Please speak to your dealer for attachment 
options available.  

 

 

SAFETY  

It is always advisable when camping to have 
a ‘Fire Bucket’ filled with water in case of 
emergencies. Please be aware that your 
awning is flame retardant but NOT fire proof. 
Do not smoke, cook or use a naked flame in 
or near this awning.  

VENTILATION  

Try to keep your awning well ventilated to 
reduce condensation. Moisture collecting on 
the inside of the flysheet is condensation and 
NOT a sign of leakage.  

SEAMS  

All the main seams of this awning are hot air 
taped to help reduce leaking. Any other 
seams, or where taping has become 
damaged, should be treated with a seam 
sealant.
