What material is the awning made from?

Troubleshooting

Awning not inflating fully

Ensure the pump is securely connected to the inflation valve. Check for any blockages in the valve or tubing. Inflate each point to the recommended pressure.

Water pooling on the canopy

Ensure all poles and guylines are properly tensioned to create adequate run-off. Adjust pegging points if necessary.

Difficulty attaching to vehicle

Confirm the awning rail height compatibility with your vehicle. Ensure the Kador strip or connection method is correctly threaded into the vehicle's rail.

Condensation inside the awning

Improve ventilation by opening doors or windows where possible. Ensure the fabric is not touching the vehicle, and consider using a breathable groundsheet.
