Subsequent Installation Of An Awning - FENDT CARAVAN 2021 Operation Manual

5. Exterior structure

5.9 Subsequent installation of an awning

Uncontrolled movements can be dangerous. Never
bend or lie down under an unsecured car-camper
combination!
The basic prerequisite for the best possible trailing be-
haviour of the camper is a well-balanced drawbar load.
Useful information on the drawbar load and how to load
the car-camper combination correctly can be found in
Chapter 2.3 of the Operating Manual.
Be sure to observe the instructions for use and safety in
the operating manuals of the individual device manuf-
acturers (retaining system / bicycle carrier).
When moving the bicycle carrier from the car to the
retaining system or vice versa, ensure that the official
licence number plate on the bicycle carrier is ad-
justed accordingly or exchanged.
If the system is subsequently mounted by an authori-
sed Fendt camper dealer:
The retaining system may only be ordered and mounted
through our listed and authorised commercial / service
partners. It is compulsory to give the VIN (Vehicle Identifi-
cation Number) to enable the plausibility and registration
to be verified. Your authorised Fendt camper dealer will
be pleased to provide you with competent advice if you
have more detailed questions.
Ignoring these instructions could be dangerous for
the user's life and limb or cause damage to other
property.
When selecting an awning, please note the limited amount of
available space between the outer tent lamp and the surrounding
aluminium moulding. Otherwise, it is only possible to install an aw-
ning on the roof.
If you prefer to install the awning on the roof of the caravan, please
note that, if you have a roof rail, this is not possible or only possible
in a very limited way.
If you have any queries, please speak to your Fendt-Caravan dealer.
Furthermore, we recommend that you have the awning installed by
a specialised company, if only for liability reasons.
The maximum permissible total width and total height may not be
exceeded by installing an awning.
Installing an awning may have a negative influence on
the trailer/driving performance of the caravan
.
