hello all.....i have got myself a folding camper.. i am very keen and want to get all information as possible, i have loads of literature that it came with, but no instructions on how to fit or set-up the awning, including the set up of the poles..is there a special technique that some kind sir might want to share.. i have been on the tinternet for ages and cant find nowt...if some kind person as this info, i would really be very pleased...thanks

Hi I would suggest when you have the awning erected colour coding poles with insulation tape will make it much easier and quicker in the future, if you need a diagram I have the pullman awning I could email you the instructions.

We have just bought a Pennine Sterling and took it out for the first time last weekend.  It took us ahem... over two hours to put up the awning.  The shame!  Fortunately we were the only folk on the campsite so it could have been worse acting out our frustrations in front of other campers.

The problem we had with ours was that the hooks on the roof tension poles had come out so for a long time we could not get the poles to resemble anything that was in the diagram.

We erected the poles first and them pulled the canvas over the poles and zipped it up.

Once we got the hang of it - it was simple!

I have now ordered spare hooks from the Pennine website and would endorse the earlier suggestion of colour coding the poles once erected.  We are off in ours again this weekend armed with different coloured insulation tape.

We hope you like the FC as much as we do!
