and Classic models should be vertical. Pegging Point A on Fiesta and Pop models can vary depending on the height
of the caravan.
Locate the deflation valves at the bottom of each of the AirPoles (4). Ensure that the deflation valves are closed by
turning the tap clockwise 90° (see Diagram 4).
Locate the inflation valve on the awning (5). Unscrew the top cap and attach the pump nozzle (6). Start to pump (7).
Kampa awnings are supplied with a high performance manual hand pump. This will inflate beyond
the recommended pressure and so it is essential to only inflate the awning into the green zone on the
pressure gauge. The gauge on the supplied hand pump will only give a reading on a downward stroke.
DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF COMPRESSOR DESIGNED TO INFLATE CAR TYRES – these may damage
your awning as they can inflate to extreme pressures and the pressure gauges can be inaccurate.
Over-inflated AirPoles are not covered under the product guarantee.
Once the awning has a good amount of air in it, pull the front of the awning outwards so that the AirPoles can assume
their correct shape (8).
Keep pumping until the ideal inflation pressure of 9 psi (0.62 BAR) is achieved. If necessary take a rest before adding
more pressure.
WARNING
NEVER OPEN THE ZIP ON THE PROTECTIVE SLEEVE WHILST AN
AIRPOLE IS INFLATED. THIS WILL RESULT IN THE AIRPOLE BURSTING.
Pegging Sequence
The order in which you should peg down your Kampa inflatable awning (or pegging sequence) is important to help
ensure the correct shape and fit is achieved. The set-up procedure is different to a traditional awning that you may be
used to. Please ensure that you peg in the following sequence:
A - the rear corner pegging points
B - the front corner pegging points
C - the skirt pegging points (not Fiesta/Pop)
D - any doorways (cross-pegging) (11)
E - remaining pegging points
Pegging
Close all doors and entrances. The rear corners will have already been pegged by this stage (Pegging Point A -
please refer to pegging point diagrams).
Pegging Point B: The front corners should now be pegged. Make sure that the awning is sitting squarely on your
caravan, if necessary adjust the pegging at the four corners (Points A & B) ensuring that the sides and front are
stretched tight.
Rally Plus/Frontier AIR Pro: Pegging Point B is regulated by the straps shown as
Diagram 3c. Ensure all regulating straps are taut in order to correctly position pegging points.
Pegging Point C: The Skirt Pegging Points (blue triangles) should now be pegged (not applicable to Frontier/Fiesta/
Pop - Rally Plus extension side). This point is attached to the skirt, inside the awning, and regulates the position of the
centre pole/s. Pulling this pegging point outwards will pull the middle front leg/s backwards and into their correct
position. THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. It is a common mistake to have the centre leg/legs too far forward.
Having legs too far forward is the most common cause of poor performance in wind and rain; the awning will not
look its best and the optional carpet may fit poorly.
Cross-peg all doorways and openings (see Diagram 11).
Cross-Pegging: All zipped openings should be cross-pegged. This creates tension in adjacent panels
and also reduces stress on zips. Points that should be cross-pegged are pre-stitiched at an angle.
