easy camp 2024 Wimberly Driveaway Awning Review
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 on 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, rear and front first. Use a mallet to secure the pegs in the ground but be careful of your hands and feet when hitting the peg.
- The two long telescopic steel poles are inserted into the pockets on the inside of the roof. Adjust the length of the poles and tighten for the perfect set-up.
- Position the groundsheet inside the tent and fasten it to the fly all around with the toggles and hooks.
- Secure the tent against strong winds with guy lines and pegs.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE TIPS
Get the most out of your camping trip by having a trial run, putting up and taking down your new awning in order 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 non acidic 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 dry cleaned.
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 use a seam sealer and waterproof spray to re-seal seams.
When you have folded the awning, measure it with the carrybag to make sure it is not too wide. You should now be able to roll the awning round the poles in their pole bag and fit it into the Easy Camp carrybag.
