Step 5 Level ridge poles,
check all peg points, tension
awning and guy ropes
Ensure all ridge poles are horizontal and the
upright poles are vertical. Adjust all poles
and ropes to tighten the canvas, now attach
Velcro™ tabs located on the underside awning
roof around the poles. At this point you should
determine whether pegs for the guy ropes are
positioned correctly and make any adjustments
necessary to the guy rope angle and peg
location. For the correct position of the guy
ropes, make a loop (about 30-50 cm long) with
the slider on the end of the rope and peg out
as far as possible from the pole, see figure 27.
Ensure all peg points around the base of the
Camper Trailer Tent are utilised and all guy ropes
are attached firmly and remain firm.
HELPFUL HINT
It is a good idea to have all poles adjusted to
the approximate length required before you
begin to assemble the awning. After the first
assembly and final adjustments are made, with
a felt pen mark each pole at the adjusted length
for future reference. This will allow you in future
to adjust and set the poles close to the correct
length before setting up the awning. Some
minor adjustments will still need to be made
but it will help with setting up the awning and
make it quicker
PLEASE NOTE
If the awning is not tensioned correctly, water
can pond during rain and may cause damage
to the roof fabric and poles. This damage is not
covered by the OZtrail warranty.
Step 6 Attaching the optional
sunroom and optional
sunroom floor
If you have purchased the OZtrail 3 in 1 sunroom
option, it simply attaches by way of a continuous
Velcro™ strip running up the side of the main
Camper Trailer Tent walls and around the inside
of the awning roof edge. Starting at one corner
work your way around the awning roof by
simply aligning and attaching the Velcro™ strips
provided, patting the two halves together as
you go to ensure good contact. When the roof
connection is complete, attach the Velcro™ to the
walls of the Camper Trailer Tent. The sunroom is a
unique 3 in 1 design that allows each of the three
sunroom walls to be used individually for privacy
or a wind break or can be used as one to form an
additional room.
You will find a number of webbing loops
provided to enable you to peg the walls down to
the ground. Firmly, but not tight, insert a peg at
each point to secure the sunroom walls.

Set up instructions for the
Camper Trailer Tent awning
Raise the pole #6 to the approximate height and
place the loop of the guy rope over the spigot,
tightening the ropes enough to hold the pole.
Repeat the above process for the remaining side
ridge and upright poles. Now select the long
spreader pole # 5 (use pole # 55 for Outer Ridge
375 and Outer Ridge 475) and position between
the centre ridge and the side ridge parallel to
pole # 2. For all Camper Trailer Tent models
12, now select spreader pole #55 and position
between far side ridge pole and side ridge with
pole # 5 attached, see figure 25.
