What You'll Need
Just follow these simple steps:
Set up your pull-out awning as normal.
Place a pair of tent poles featuring C-clips close to your vehicle. Attach these poles to the horizontal bars on your awning.
Attach guy ropes to the Prop Cleats at the front and rear sides of the vehicle and tighten pegs.
We highly recommend using at least 2 ropes per corner for maximum stability.
Unhitch the awning from your vehicle and rest the weight on the C-clip tent poles.
Drive your vehicle away.
Place another set of guy ropes around the Prop Cleats and peg them down where your vehicle was parked.
Again, we highly recommend using at least 2 ropes per corner for stability.
Adjust pegs and pole placement if required to tension the setup.
