Product Information

Full details

The Outwell Dual Beading Connect Set is for campers who need a reliable and flexible way to connect their drive-away awning to their vehicle. Its key benefit is offering two bead sizes (5mm and 7mm) to ensure compatibility with a wide range of awning rails and vehicle types, including specific fitment for the VW California Rail when used together. A potential consideration is that while versatile, users should confirm their specific awning and vehicle rail types match the bead sizes provided.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Outwell Dual Beading Connect Set?

Its main purpose is to provide a versatile and secure connection between a drive-away awning and a vehicle, accommodating different types of awning rails.

Which vehicle rails is the 5mm bead compatible with?

The 5mm bead is compatible with Thule, Fiamma, Dometic, and Westfalia windout awnings.

How does this set connect to the VW California Rail?

By using both the 5mm and 7mm beads together, the set is designed to fit the specific dimensions of the VW California Rail.

What is the total length of the beading strip?

The dual beading strip has a roof connection length of 270 cm.

Does the set include everything needed for connection?

Yes, it includes one dual beading strip (270 cm) and three figure-of-8 channels (90 cm each) for a complete connection solution.

What material is the connect set made from?

The connect set is constructed from durable Polyester.

Is there a specific way to store the connect set?

It comes with a carry pouch, which is ideal for keeping the set organized and protected during transport and storage. Ensure it is clean and dry before packing.

Troubleshooting

Beading won't slide into the rail

Ensure you are using the correct bead size (5mm or 7mm) for your specific rail. Try applying a small amount of water or a silicone-based lubricant to the bead or rail to aid insertion. Check for any kinks or damage in the rail or the beading strip.

Awning connection feels loose

Verify that the beading is fully seated in both the awning keder rail and the vehicle rail. Ensure you are using the correct bead size for a snug fit. If a gap persists, consider using the figure-of-8 channels to create a tighter seal.

Difficult to connect to VW California Rail

Ensure you are attempting to slide *both* the 5mm and 7mm beads into the VW California Rail simultaneously. The design requires both to engage properly for this specific fitment.

Figure-of-8 channels are difficult to attach

The figure-of-8 channels are designed for a snug fit. Ensure the beading strip is inserted evenly into both openings of the '8'. Gentle pressure may be required.
