3. The awning is configured with standard bracket. If extra special fixture structure is needed, can custom on your own needs.

4. Measure and mark the installation points on the vehicle body according to the awning brackets position sketch below. Make sure all the brackets are in the same straight line and same installation level. Before drilling, make sure that there are no obstacles outside or inside the installation points. The diagrammatic sketch above only shows three brackets. IF your awning size is bigger than 4meters, will be configured with 4 brackets.  Ensure the distances (d) between the brackets shall be the same from one bracket to the other bracket. For a safe and stable installation, we strongly recommend to always use the correct brackets quantity to install the awning.(as showed in Pic.1).

2. Fabric Care &maintenance:
   Vinyl fabric offers the advantage of durability and water resistance. Wrinkling may be more noticeable when retracted, and after prolonged periods of stowage (rolled up).In warm weather, open it up for a period of time to minimize  the wrinkling .Leave awning open during warm weather to minimize the wrinkling over time.
   a. To clean the fabric
   Do NOT use abrasive or corrosive cleaners, mildew removers, or hard bristle brushes on awning fabric. Liberally drench open awning fabric with cleaning solution. Close awning, let it soak for 10minutes, then open awning again. Remove solution COM-PLETELY from awning fabric. Bleach will degrade awning fabric if NOT completely rinsed off. Thoroughly hose off top and bottom of fabric with clean water.
   b. To repair a pinhole, or if a spot of coating flakes off from top layer of vinyl fabric Apply a very small dab of VLP (Vinyl Liquid Patch) on tip of cotton swab. Gently roll cottonwear around pinhole. The VLP will melt the coating (on  fabric) and that will quickly fill in ph is hole and blend with all colored vinyl’s. NEVER close (roll up) awning when vinyl liquid pact. wet. Otherwise, damage to other parts of awning fabric (melting through layers) will occur  Allow VLP to dry thoroughly before stowing (rolling up) awning.
