We have recently bought a 2003 super quick stop off of ebay which we love! Unfortunately the seller could not put the awning up as he did not have room. We are about to go on holiday and thought we should take a look at the awning, and we cannot make any sense of it. It did not come with any instructions and we have already been in contact with Raclet uk who were unable to help. Is there anyone out there who could help us, I am quite willing to pay for a copy of an instruction manual for the awning. I have tried to contact Raclet France ,but english link says it is under work and has been saying that for quite a while. I am desperate for help PLEASE
The instructions solely consist of an awning pole diagram, which is as much use as a chocolate teapot.
I have one, try the following:
Get out all the poles. You should have a whole lot linked together. Link them, and lie them down in front of the FC. Now, find the 5 poles which have a hook on one end and a plastic clip or a spring button on t'other (three have spring buttons, they go centre, extreme left and right, the other two go equally spaced in between them). They are your roof poles.
Now find the two poles which are about 7 feet long with a kink of about 20-30 degrees 2 feet before the end. They hold up the front roof pole of the awning.
You will need to put in the three roof poles which are middle top, left and right. With those in place you should be able to stand up the front linked set of poles and get the awning frame standing up on its own. Now put in the two remaining roof poles and the two kinked support poles (anywhere at the fromt; about two feet either side of the central ridgepole should do it).
With it at this stage I suggest you zip out all of the panels you can out of the awning canvas and zip it onto the tent. This will take hours and will need a small stepladder or two people to do properly.
Having done that, the awning canvas has got certain reinforced panels at the LHS of the awning as you look at the FC. The remaining poles all lie along these sections so as not to wear out the canvas. I'm sorry that's a bit vague but you should see what I mean. One of the poles at least runs between the extreme LH end of the camper and the next roof pole in.
The rest of the awning should be reasonable obvious at this point. Let me know if the awning diagram would be helpful and I will try and scan it in!
Hi thank you very much for your help! I do have a few questions if you can help. Where do the poles that have feet go, I have put them in each corner but I seem to have 5 so i'm left with one that clips on dont know is that a center pole?. Also I have one 3 way end pole in dark green is this the center pole because if I use it for that it leaves the short pole going through tent pointing up this may be right ?, and do the two bent poles at front bow the front out due to there shape ? Yes I would like the diagram as I seem to have alot of poles that are not joined anymore and some alu ones for front main pole that look like they have been replaced and dont quite match.Again thanks for all your help
