Product Information

Full details

The Kampa Twin Driveaway Kit is designed for caravanners and motorhomers who want to easily connect their drive-away awning to their vehicle. Its primary benefit is offering versatile attachment options with dual beading, allowing connection to most awning rails or wind-out awnings. A minor caveat is that the kit's length options (3m or 4m) require careful measurement for optimal fit. Key features include twin keder for robust connection, reinforced stitching for durability, and included figure-of-8 connectors for straightforward setup.

FAQs

What is 'twin keder'?

Twin keder refers to the dual beading strip on the edge of the kit, featuring both a 4mm and a 6mm diameter strip. This allows it to fit into a wider variety of awning rails and connection channels.

Do I need to buy figure-of-8 connectors separately?

No, the Kampa Twin Driveaway Kit typically includes three sections of figure-of-8 connectors as part of the package.

What is the difference between the 3-meter and 4-meter lengths?

The length refers to the total length of the twin kador strip and figure-of-8 connectors provided. You should choose the length that best suits the distance between your drive-away awning and your vehicle's connection point.

Can I use this with any drive-away awning?

The kit is designed to be highly compatible due to its dual beading. It should work with most drive-away awnings that use a kador strip for connection, regardless of brand, provided your vehicle has a compatible rail.

How do I disconnect the awning to drive away?

To disconnect, first loosen the front tension straps on the awning tunnel. Then, carefully slide the twin kador strip out of your vehicle's rail. Once disconnected, you can roll up or peg down the awning tunnel.

Is the stitching reinforced?

Yes, the product description mentions reinforced stitching for added strength and durability at key stress points.

Troubleshooting

Kador strip is difficult to slide into the vehicle rail.

Ensure the rail is clean and free of debris. You can try applying a silicone-based lubricant sparingly to the beading or rail. Make sure you are using the correct size beading (4mm or 6mm) for your rail.

Connection tunnel is not sealing well against the vehicle.

Adjust the tension of the awning straps and guylines. Ensure the figure-of-8 connectors are fully engaged with the awning beading. For a better seal, consider using additional storm straps or magnetic figure-of-8 connectors (sold separately).

Awning detaches unexpectedly when driving away.

Confirm that the kador strip has been fully slid out of the vehicle rail. Ensure that the front straps of the awning tunnel are adequately loosened before attempting to drive away.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Slide the provided figure-of-8 connector sections onto the edge of your drive-away awning.
  2. Attach the 6mm side of the twin kador strip onto the figure-of-8 sections.
  3. Slide the dual beading (both 6mm and 4mm sides) into your vehicle's awning rail or connection channel.
  4. Ensure the connection tunnel is taut and secure, using any provided straps or guylines.

Compatibility:

  • Beading: Compatible with both 4mm and 6mm kador beading.
  • Vehicle Rails: Suitable for standard caravan awning rails, C-channels, and the beading channels found on most wind-out awnings (e.g., Thule, Fiamma).
  • Awnings: Designed to work with most drive-away awnings that utilize kador beading for connection.

Care:

  • Clean the kador strip and fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure the kit is dry before storing to prevent mold and mildew.
  • Store the kit rolled or folded loosely to avoid creasing the beading.
  • Periodically check the reinforced stitching for any signs of wear and tear.
