Product Information
Full details
The Brunner Trouper 2.0 is an ideal drive-away awning for campervan and medium minibus owners seeking a quick-to-set-up, spacious addition to their campsite. Its inflatable air frame with Crossbeam Technology ensures stability, while the Oneflate system simplifies inflation. A potential limitation is its three-season suitability, meaning it's best for spring and autumn conditions rather than harsh winter weather.

FAQs
What is the total living space provided by the Trouper 2.0?
The Brunner Trouper 2.0 offers approximately 8 square metres of additional living or storage space.
How is the awning inflated?
The awning uses an inflatable air frame with a 'Oneflate' system, meaning it is inflated via a single valve using the included double-action pump.
What types of vehicles is this awning compatible with?
It is designed for campervans and medium-sized minibuses with a vehicle gutter height between 180 cm and 240 cm.
Is the groundsheet included and is it fixed?
Yes, the Trouper 2.0 features a fixed, sewn-in groundsheet to help keep out drafts and pests.
Can I use this awning in heavy rain or strong winds?
The awning has a 3000 mm hydrostatic head rating, making it suitable for spring and autumn conditions, including moderate rain. It is not designed for severe weather or strong winds.
What accessories are included with the awning?
The package includes a pump, connection pole, guy ropes, pegs, and a stuff sack for storage.
How is the awning attached to the vehicle?
You can attach it using the supplied piping that slides into a C-channel awning rail, the connection pole, or Velcro straps that attach to your vehicle's roof rails.
Troubleshooting
Awning won't inflate properly
Ensure the pump is securely attached to the valve and the valve itself is fully open. Check that the pump is functioning correctly.
Awning feels unstable
Verify that all air tubes are fully inflated to their recommended pressure. Ensure guy ropes are properly tensioned and pegs are securely in the ground.
Water pooling on the roof
Check that the awning is pitched correctly with adequate tension. Ensure no obstructions are preventing water runoff.
Difficulty connecting to the vehicle
Confirm your vehicle's gutter height falls within the specified range (180-240 cm). Ensure you are using the appropriate connection method for your vehicle's rail system.
Condensation inside the awning
Improve ventilation by opening roof vents and doors (with mosquito nets closed). Ensure the groundsheet is properly sealed to prevent ground moisture ingress.
