4.2 Attaching the Awning Room

The awning room is designed for quick and simple attachment to your existing SAN HIMA pull-out side awning. The process involves securing the room to the awning's frame and sliding it into the designated tracks.

1. Prepare the Awning: Ensure your SAN HIMA pull-out side awning is fully extended and securely set up.
2. Attach Top Edge: Locate the Velcro straps and clips on the top edge of the awning room. Align these with the corresponding points on your deployed side awning. Secure them firmly.
3. Slide into Track: Identify the front track zip flange on your side awning. Carefully slide the integrated connector of the awning room into this track.
4. Zip Up: Once the top edge is secured and the connector is in the track, zip up the sides of the awning room to fully enclose the space.

4.3 Securing the Awning Room

To ensure the stability of your awning room, especially in varying weather conditions, proper anchoring is crucial.

1. Deploy Poles: Extend any integrated poles or supports within the awning room structure.
2. Insert Pegs: Utilize the provided tie-down pegs. Insert them through the reinforced loops at the base of the awning room and firmly into the ground.
3. Attach Ropes: Connect the provided ropes to the upper attachment points on the awning room and secure them to additional ground pegs, pulling taut to create tension and stability.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Ventilation and Weather Protection

The awning room is designed to adapt to various conditions, offering both ventilation and protection.

• Open Windows: For fresh air and continuous airflow, open the side windows. The breathable mesh will keep insects out while allowing air circulation.
• Close Flaps: In case of rain or strong winds, roll down the flaps and door covers to keep the interior dry and warm.

5.2 Vehicle Access and Interior Storage

The design of the awning room prioritizes convenience and functionality.

• Rear Door Access: A dedicated rear door allows direct access to your trailer or vehicle without needing to step outside the enclosed space.
• Interior Pockets: Utilize the internal pockets to store small essentials, keeping them organized and easily accessible.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean the fabric with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material or waterproof coating.
• Drying: Ensure the awning room is completely dry before packing it away to prevent mold and mildew growth.
• Storage: Store the awning room in its provided storage bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.

7. Troubleshooting

• Water Pooling: Ensure the main side awning is pitched correctly to allow water runoff. Use all tie-down points to create proper tension and prevent sagging.
• Instability in Wind: Double-check that all tie-down pegs are firmly in the ground and ropes are taut. Consider using heavier-duty pegs or additional guy lines in very strong winds.
• Difficulty Zipping: Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Apply gentle, even pressure when zipping. If the zipper is stiff, a silicone-based lubricant can be applied.
