3. Announcing the new KWIK Awning for 2008
THIS IS RETROFITABLE TO ALL KIMBERLEY KAMPERS FROM 2002 onwards
2m wide x 6.7m long (for older models 6.3mLong)
The principles are:
Stays Zipped onto Kamper all the time.
The 2 end triangular corners fold under the awning roof and Velcro up underneath. In this configuration, the awning is a parallelogram shape.
There are 2 poles that are overhead bars which “push” the awning out with web tabs sewn onto the awning to receive the small post of the pole. These roof poles are supported by J clamps and vertical 45 degree (approx) poles that clip onto the kamper body (we are using the over centre catch base piece also used to close the camper. Because the awning cant be erected with a closed camper there is no conflict of use.
To adjust the awning, the vertical bars are pushed out further. The awning has a scalloped edge.
When you need more cover and/ or the wind picks up, the 2 end sections are pulled away from Velcro and poles are used in the usual way.
When we tested this at 13.5knot (25km/hr) winds, it was fine. But if the wind went over say 20 knots, you would have to use the end poles.
What is clever:
For sun/dew protection just use it with no poles
For stronger wind or more coverage, pull out and use 1 or 2 poles.
For more Kitchen Protection without having to put up walls: just lower the corner at the kitchen end to form a triangular wind break!
Easy access into Kamper without running into poles and pegs on side.
It is approx 6.7m long and 2 m wide
Note 2 poles are still required for front awning over Gullwing- we are working on a system of onnecting these to the kamper so no pegs but in high wind you have to peg out!
