TWO ANSWERS HERE. SUBJECT SAID PENNINE PULLMAN AWING (1ST ANSWER) THEN I READ THE QUESTION, WHICH JUST SAID PENNINE PULLMAN (2ND ANSWER).
We are working on this at the moment, and hope to have it available in pdf and video formats in the next few weeks.
Edited highlights (Very edited) You should have 5 horizontal poles (with a hook at each end). You should also have 3 vertical poles (easy to identify if they still have their rubber feet on the bottom. There will then be 2 apex poles which run at an angle, from the sides of the awning, up to the apex.
In addition to these poles you will have a left and right corner piece and an apex piece. These are used to join the poles together. The two outside ones should have a square 'hook' on them, which sticks out of the front of the canvas. The apex piece doesn't usually have this, as it's normally separate and fits on after assembly.
It's entirely personal preference what order you assemble in, but this is my personal preference.
(1) Lay the awning canvas out on the ground, with the long zip next to the camper.
(2) Zip the awning canvas onto the main canvas, using the long zip attached to both. You can also attach the two under bed panels as well, using the zips and press studs provided.
(3) Fold the awning canvas back over the roof of the camper, to keep it out of the way while you assemble the poles.
(4) Assemble the front wall, using the 3 vertical poles, the 2 apex poles and the jointing pieces. (HINT: They are usually colour coded, but, on a unit of this age, that is by no means guaranteed).
(5) Hook the horizontal roof poles onto the camper (below the main awning zip are 5 holes in the canvas. move the draught flap out of the way, to expose the internal poles. Each of these should have a small hole in it, to hook the roof pole into).
(6) Stand the front wall up (the more of you there are at this stage, the easier it all is) and hook the 5 roof poles into the brackets on the joint sections and the apex poles. You now have your frame set up.
(7) Roll the awning canvas out over the poles, peg it out and adjust the various poles to get the tension just right. Each of the 3 joint pieces should have a hook sticking out of the front, to attach to the overhanging canvas on the top front piece.
(8) Hang the front and side panels. (You can do the above with them already attached, but that adds weight to the canvas, and makes it more cumbersome to work with. I always put them on after).
(9) Attach the last skirt to the bottom of the camper to prevent any unwanted draughts, and hang the curtains, if supplied.
As I say; very cut down version, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

------------- The one good thing about being wrong is the joy it brings to others..
Has anybody got instructions or diagram for erecting a 1988 awning on a pennine pullman please. I posted a message yesterday stating it was a 1993 awning, because I was told it was, then I found how you date your camper on the plate on the trailer, it is a 1988 model. Thanks for the replies to my enquiry, hopefully someone out there will be able to help. Thank-you.
Procedure should be exactly the same. Although the 88's look different to the 93's, the basic procedure for both the awing and the camper are pretty much identical (except your 88 wont have the wardrobe).

Hi is this post still active? We have bought a 1993 Pennine Pullman and would be grateful for any literature. I'm not even sure that we have put it away properly.
As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.
