INSTRUCTIONS
SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
This tent fits campers/vans with an attachment height of 180 to 205 cm.
This tent should be erected by at least two people!
- When unpacking the tent, it is a good idea to familiarise yourself with how it should be repacked.
- Spread out the flysheet in front of your car in an area that is as even and clean as possible. Attach the connection part to the roof rail by Velcros or use the piping if your car provides a gutter for this purpose.
- Assemble the fibreglass poles and push them through their respective sleeve marked with colour. The tent can now be raised by placing the ends of the poles down over the pins fastened in the rings.
- Position the tent as required. Peg it down through the metal- and elastic rings, first at the corners, then all around. Use a mallet to secure the pegs in the ground but be careful of your hands and feet when hitting the peg.
- Spread out the tent floor inside the tent and attach it to the flysheet by using the straps with rings and the Velcro provided for the purpose. Peg down the tent floor.
- Secure the tent against strong winds with guylines and pegs.
- BE AWARE THAT (UV) ULTRAVIOLET RAYS WILL DAMAGE YOUR AWNING IF YOU EXPOSE IT TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT FOR LONGER PERIODS OF TIME.
- EASY CAMP® PRODUCTS ARE MADE FOR CAMPING USE WHICH IS NORMALLY 2-5 WEEKS’ USAGE A YEAR. THEY ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR PERMANENT USAGE.
- CAMPING NEAR THE SEA OR A LAKE CAN FURTHER ENHANCE THE EFFECT OF UV RADIATION.
- THE SAME APPLIES TO POLES AND METAL PARTS.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE TIPS
- Get the most out of your camping trip by having a trial run, and putting up and taking down your new awning to know it before you use it for the first time.
Condensation should not be confused with leakage
- Under certain weather conditions, condensation can occur on the inside surfaces of your awning.
- To help prevent this you must remove wet clothes etc., increase ventilation or erect your awning on a PVC mat.
- The flysheet is made of waterproof material. To prevent water from seeping through the flysheet avoid touching the inside surface in rainy weather conditions.
- When erecting your awning, do not secure it too tightly, otherwise it will not be able to adapt to varying wind and weather conditions.
- Insecticides must not be sprayed in or on the awning as they may damage the fabric and coating!
- When taking down and packing the awning, it must be completely dry to avoid mildew/rotting. We recommend that after use all metal poles be lightly greased with a nonacidic oil.
- Remove dirt from the awning with a soft sponge and pure water. Never wash the awning in a washing machine and never have it drycleaned.
Store the awning in a dry place
- Even though we have used a special waterproof thread for all seams, we recommend that you use a seam sealer or a waterproof spray at regular intervals for all seams around the zips and toggles.
- The seams are some of the weaker points on your awning as there can be a lot of tension around them.
- Please note that the tape may come off after prolonged exposure to the sun. If this happens you can repair your awning by removing loose tape and using a seam sealer and waterproof spray to re-seal seams.
- When you have folded the awning, measure it with the carry bag to make sure it is not too wide. You should now be able to roll the awning around the poles in their pole bag and fit it into the Easy Camp carry bag.
