2.
Once the awning is in the desired position on your caravan open the pole bag and take out the 3 fibreglass roof poles
and 3 steel poles and lay out on the ground, (Most poles are broken during pitching so take extreme care at this
stage) – Spare poles can be purchased at your dealer if you accidentally break one. In the case of the fibre poles
ensure the poles are seated correctly within each of the metal ferrules when opening out. (photo 3,4&5)
3.
First slacken the tension straps at the base of the awning where the where each pole locates then take one of the
fibreglass pole sections and slide through either of the outer roof channels, then locate one of the steel vertical poles
into position using the ferrel at the end of the fibreglass pole. After this locate the steel pole into position using the pin
on the 'ring and pin' assembly located on the black webbing around the foot of the awning Continue this process with
the remaining poles. Finally clip the black plastic locating clips to the poles, and tension the the straps which you
slackened earlier. (photo 6,7,8,9,10&11)
4.
You will now notice the two outer poles will drop inwards onto the awning canvas, in order to rectify this take the
stability strap on one end and peg out, this will pull the pole outwards and hold it in position whilst you work on setting
the awning, after you have done this repeat the process at the other end (only knock the peg in halfway as it is likely
you will have to reset this at the end.) After this has been done the back of the awning by the caravan should now be
pegged through the steel rings at the corners and the buckles tensioned slightly.(photo 12,13,14&15)
5.
The sections for the steel stabiliser pole should now be taken inside the awning. The cross pole should be opened out
and the 2 legs should be attached. If you look at the front of the awning you will see a number of 'zipped sleeves' and
tapes these are to hold the stabiliser pole in place. Unzip the sleeves and offer up the assembly into position and
complete by tying the tapes Then connect the pole legs at either side by using the metal pins on 'ring and pin'
assembly at the base of the awning, then finally zip up the sleeves.(photo 16,17,18,19 &20)
6.
You may notice the front section of the awning may rise up of the ground this is not a problem and once you have the
corners pegged should pull back down (this is due to the tension on the steel stability bar) (photo 21)
7.
Now continue by placing pegs in the 2 front corners of the awning followed by pegging the remaining points along the
front, ensuring all pegging is in a straight line. Remember when pegging to use the 'ring and pin' assemblies as
pegging points through the centre of the ring. (Do not over tension as this can sometimes lead to damaged zips) TIP
pegs perform best when inserted at 45 degrees into the ground. (photo 22&23)
8.
Peg the gusseted flanges at the rear of the awning in such a way that a seal is formed against the caravan side. The
shock chord can be gently tightened to maximise this seal by pulling tight through the black toggle. (photo 24&25)
9.
Guy lines can now be tensioned and pegged ( remember you may have to re-adjust the yellow stability straps you
positioned earlier) please ensure in heavy weather that ALL guy lines and the stability straps are used.
(photo 26&27)
10.
Take care not to over tension as this can damage your awning or awning zips. (Please note that failure to use all the
lines may result in your awning being damaged)
PLEASE NOTE FOR EXTRA COMFORT WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU PURCHASE Blue Diamond Draught Skirt
along your caravan base. (ask your supplier)

a. After use please take extreme care when packing away. Ensure the Compactalite Pro 325 is dry
(including the poles) and air the tent before packing away.
b. Any dirt or stains can be removed by brushing or gently washing with warm water. DO NOT use
detergents as this will destroy the waterproofing on the fabrics.

drawn into the porch awning.
