• Check for any obstacles inside the vehicle (like electric cables or gas pipes) before drilling.

• The adapters must support the awning at the awning's spring arms for correct and stable mounting. Use a full-length adapter if necessary.

• For a watertight installation, use acid-free silicone or SIKA 252 to fill up the drilled holes.

• To avoid damaging the fabric when drilling the box, unroll the awning completely and adjust the support arms so that the fabric is horizontal.
