How to Set Up Your Awning
For those who have also purchased an awning for your roof tent, follow these steps to set it up:
1. Remove the transport cover from your roof tent and pull it out of the rail it sits in.
2. In the same rail, insert the awning, the side that has a blue hard edge (the same as the transport cover's).
3. Then unfold the roof tent. Fold the ladder and fasten it with the strap.
4. Set up the roof over the ladder (the awning) on the roof tent using the aluminum bow.
5. Attach the awning to the roof tent by using the zipper that runs from the left side of the part of the base plate that is outside the car roof and continues around the awning.
6. Tighten the walls using the straps at the bottom edge of the awning and the tent pegs.
