Connecting to your vehicle (Pro only)
You can connect to your vehicle using various different methods. Some of which are listed below,
but they are all optional. It is best to try a few different methods and find out which is best for you
as each method has its advantages and disadvantages.
• Beading: You can use the beading on the vehicle connector to connect to your vehicle. Your
connector has two beadings (4 and 6mm) on it. Simply slide the correct size beading (depends
upon the channel on your vehicle) into the channel on your vehicle, or roll out canopy etc. and you
are ready to go.
• Guy lines : Another option is to use the two pegging points located on either end of the connector.
The guy line on these points are thrown over your van and pegged onto the rear side of the
vehicle, pulling the connector against the van.
Drive away kits : Another option to connect your tunnel to your vehicle is via a drive away kit. These
are optional and have to be purchased separately. There are two types, a standard version and a
magnetic version, but both are used in the same way.
• Magnetic Drive Away Kit
• One option to connect your connector to your vehicle is a magnetic drive away kit. These are
optional and have to be purchased separately. They are used to connect to your vehicle when
you do not have any other method (such as a VW camper van). To use a magnetic drive away kit :
• Take the figure of eight connectors (there will be more than one section) from the magnetic drive
away kit and slide them onto the beading on your connector.
• Then slide the magnetic drive away kit into the other side of the figure of eight.
• Then you can place the magnetic side of the drive away kit to the side of your vehicle.
TIP: Whilst the magnetic drive away kit will hold the tunnel to your vehicle, it will not support the tunnel in moderate
to high winds (we have found this during testing of many different brands of magnetic drive away kits), so we also
recommend that if you are using a magnetic drive away kit we still use the two guy lines at the ends of the tunnel
(similar to the 'Guy Line' solution above) to secure the tunnel to the vehicle, in conjunction with the magnetic drive
• Standard Drive away kit
• A standard drive away kit is an optional piece of equipment (purchased separately) that allows
you to disconnect your connector from a channel or roll out canopy without the need to un-peg
your screen house. Drive away kits come in two different sizes : 4 and 6mm. You choose the
size closest to the size of the channel on your vehicle or roll out canopy. Please consult the
instructions that came with your canopy/channel to find our which one you need. To use a drive
away kit :
• Take the long double beaded webbing strap from your drive away kit out and slide this into your
wind out canopy or channel.
• Then take the figure of eight section(s) from the kit and feed these onto the other side of the
webbing strap.
• You can then feed the channel on the connector into the other side of the figure of eight sections
which connects your screen house vehicle connector to your vehicle.
TIP : Some drive away kits can be cut down to size, which can make it cleaner and easier to fit the drive away kit as
they can be cut down to exactly the same size as you require, removing any excess which can get in the way. Please
consult the instructions/details that came with your drive away kit to confirm this before cutting.
