4. Setup Instructions

The Westfield Vega 375 2.0 features the Advanced Air System (AAS) for quick and easy inflation from a single point.

4.1 Preparing the Site

• Choose a flat, clear area free of sharp objects.
• Position your caravan or motorhome, ensuring there is enough space for the awning.

4.2 Attaching the Awning

• Unpack the awning and lay it out flat on the ground next to your vehicle.
• Slide the awning beading into the awning rail of your caravan or motorhome. Ensure it is fully inserted along the entire length.
• Once attached, pull the awning out from the vehicle to its full extent.

4.3 Inflation (Advanced Air System - AAS)

• Locate the inflation valve, typically found on one of the main air tubes.
• Connect the provided hand pump to the valve.
• Begin inflating the awning. The AAS allows the entire frame to inflate from a single point. Inflate until the air tubes are firm but not rigid. Refer to the pressure gauge on your pump if available, or inflate until the structure stands firmly.
• Once inflated, close the valve securely.

4.4 Pegging and Guy Ropes

• Peg down the four corners of the awning base first, ensuring the awning is taut and square.
• Extend and peg out all remaining pegging points around the base.
• Attach and tension all guy ropes. Angle the guy ropes away from the awning at approximately 45 degrees for maximum stability.
