Thank you for choosing the SunnCamp Utility Lodge tent . Please ensure you have fully read and understood this instruction sheet. Should there be anything that is unclear to you, please 

refer to your supplier for additional instruction. If you follow these instructions when erecting and dismantling, packing and storing then you should enjoy many years of trouble free use. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

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.

SITE SELECTION  

Choose a location where the ground is flat, 
smooth and dry. Position the entrance away 
from the direction of the wind, Do not position 
on sharp, rocky or rough ground.  
 

GETTING STARTED 

Unpack the tent and place the carry/storage 
bag somewhere safe. Separate all components 
and check that everything is present.  
 

POLES

 

Take each spring linked pole set and slot 
together. The poles are folded down to aid 
storage. When fitting the poles together, make 
sure that the pole body is fully inserted into it’s 
adjoining section. Join the two roof sections 
together using the three roof bar poles. 
Ensuring that the legs are broken at their joints, 
attach to the roof assembly so that the frame is 
standing at half height.  
 

FLYSHEET 

Place the tent flysheet over the frame ensuring 
that the front door is positioned to the front of 
the tent. Now use the tie tapes to secure the 
four corners of the flysheet to the base of the 
four steel angles.  
 

ENTRANCE  

You should now ensure that the entrance to the 
tent is closed with the zips fully secured. If this 
is not done now, the tent will be out of 
alignment when fitting the pegs.   

 
PEGS 

Starting with the four corners secure the 
flysheet to the ground by inserting tent pegs 
through all the pegging points whilst pulling the 
canvas taught to eliminate any creases. When 
inserting into the ground, the peg should be set 
at a 45

°

 angle away from the tent. Pegs should 

be hammered into the ground using a suitable 
mallet and NOT pressed in with the foot.  

 
 
 
 
 

 
SAFETY 

It is advisable to have a ‘Fire’ bucket filled with 
water, placed outside the tent. Hopefully it will  
never be needed, but if it is, you will be glad you 
made the effort. The tent’s fabric is fire 
retardant, NOT fire proof and therefore you 
must not smoke or use a naked flame in or near 
it. This includes the traditional ‘camp fire’. 
Guy ropes can cause a trip hazard and should 
be marked so that passers by can see them. 
Tent pegs are also a trip hazard and should not 
be left ‘half in’. 

 
CLEANING, STORAGE AND REPAIRS 

Cleaning… 

Both inside and outside of the tent should only 
be cleaned using fresh clean after and a damp 
cloth. Do not use detergents or chemical 
cleaners. 

Storing… 

The tent is best stored in its original carry-bag. 
However, if the awning is dismantled when wet, 
you MUST thoroughly dry the tent as soon as 
possible. After a wet pack-up, erect the tent as 
soon as possible and allow its flysheet, guy 
ropes, any inner tent and of course the carry-
bag to fully dry naturally before repacking 
everything away. If stored when the flysheet 
and / or guy ropes are wet, the tent will suffer 
from mildew and will become unusable. Please 
note that damage caused by incorrect storage 
is NOT covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. 

Repairs… 

Repairs to the tent should only be made by the 
manufacturer’s recommended agents.  
Repairs made by an unauthorised third party 
will make the manufacturer’s warranty void.  

 
STORM AND WEATHER SUITABILITY 

This tent is designed for use in normal weather 
conditions. It is not suitable for storms, gales, 
sub zero or tropical conditions.  

 
UV DETERIORATION

 

Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can 
weaken the fabric of the tent. To avoid the risk 
of UV deterioration, site the tent in a shaded  
 
 

 
 
area, where it will be protected from exposure 
to strong sunlight. 
 

MOISTURE 

Moisture collecting on the inside of the tent 
fabric is condensation caused by the occupier; it 
is NOT a sign of leakage. Note that damage 
caused by condensation, is NOT covered by the 
manufacturer’s warranty. 
 

SEAMS 

This tent has all its main seams hot air taped to 
help prevent leakage. The remaining seams 
should be treated with a seam sealant to 
maximize the awnings weatherproofing. 
Seam sealant should also be applied to main 
seams where the tape has lost adhesion or has 
been damaged (tie points or suspension points 
for example). Seam sealant is available from 
your SunnCamp stockist. 
 

DISMANTLING  

To dismantle the tent, simply reverse the 
erection procedure. Do make sure that the 
entrance is left open to allow air to escape 
when rolling the flysheet up. All poles must be 
dismantled and the tent should be carefully 
rolled prior to placing back in the carry/storage 
bag.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. Please be
