I have just bought a 2nd hand Sunncamp 400se and have a few questions about pitching it.
At each pegging point, there is a rubber band and a little plastic triangle shaped bit. Which should I use to peg down and what is the other one for?
The linings for the upper bedrooms have long elastic bands. Where should these be attached to?
I have a small skirt to stop draught at the front of the trailer. If has elastic bands in 2 corners and eyelet hoes in the other 2 corners. How is this fitted on? There are 2 large headed screws which may come out to use as a fitting but the connector plug for the trailer lights is in the way as well.
Any advice you could give would be greatly appreciated.
Pegging points...you peg through the rubber band. The ring is to attach a new rubber band to (you double it through the ring and then back on itself) when the original band breaks.
The linings for the upper bedrooms hook onto the upper cabin poles. There should be a flat brass or plastic S hook on the end of each band. Or do you mean some other band?
The skirt elastic bands just hook onto the two screws you mention. No need to take them out or anything, just stretch the bands a bit. Yes, the lighting connector will get in the way but that's how it's done. Peg down the eyelets if you want, I don't bother because I store all sorts under this bit of the trailer like the spare gas bottle, pegs and mallet etc.
Yes, the mattress and bedding holds the liner down just fine and allow it to settle in the right place.
One thing about TTs, they've got a huge amount of adjustment in them to accommodate all sorts of lumpy ground and, to a point, weather conditions. So you find it never looks exactly the same every time and the insides have to be able to move a fraction to accommodate this. So don't get too obsessed with lining everything up at right angles and strapped down to within an inch of its life, let the (excellent) design do its stuff without too much fiddling.
