Setting Up
Materials & Components
Pegs
The awning comes complete with general purpose pegs. These will be
suitable for many sites but there will be some instances where different pegs
will be necessary. Your dealer will stock a range of Kampa pegs suitable for
different types of ground. For maximum effectiveness, pegs should be driven
into the ground at a 45˚ angle away from the pegging point.
Seams
The main seams of this awning have been factory taped to help prevent
leakage. Depending upon your expectations, it may be necessary to
treat the remaining seams with a seam sealant. Seam sealant should also
be applied to areas where the taping is damaged or has peeled away
through wear and tear. It can also be applied to areas where a leak may
have developed. Seam sealant is available through your dealer.
Suitability
This awning is designed for use in light to moderate weather. During very
strong winds or snowfall we recommend that you take your awning down.
The awning is designed for touring use; it is not designed for static or
commercial use.
Condensation
Under certain conditions awnings will be affected by condensation. See
page 2 for more information about condensation. Condensation and its
effects are not covered under the warranty.

Your awning comes with guy lines pre-
9
attached. We recommend that these
are used at all times. Peg the guy lines
so that the awning is under tension
without distorting the shape (9).
The guy lines can be adjusted using
the runners and should generally
be pegged in line with the seam of
the awning that it starts from. Check
the guy lines from time to time to
ensure that they are still adequately
tensioned.
