Yes.

It is not heavy but it is an awkward shape and will need 2 people to handle.

The guy on the video is very tall. After a few practice runs you should be able to close it just as fast. The trick to closing the BunduAwn is that the arm should go UNDER the canvas.

You will see when he has lined up the arms from one side he lifts the bulk of the canvas over it, and repeats with the other side. This way the arms of the awning are flush with the back plate.

After that it is as simple as FOLDING up the canvas (rather than rolling, which makes it bulky in the bag) and strapping it down firmly before closing the bag.

The awning is full aluminium construction and a durable Riptech canvas with a reflective surface.

The awning is manufactured to be flexible. If it seems flimsy, tighten the lead ropes until it is taut.
The arms can overcam slightly to ensure that you can tighten it to tautness

It can absolutely be fitted to any vehicle. We do advise that if you have it fitted to either a caravan or off road trailer that you arrange to have their agents do the fitment. This is because the various caravans/trailers have different internal structures.

It will be best to discuss the fitment with them as they are aware where the trailer/caravan has load bearing structural support etc.

The 2.45 and the 2.95 awns cover most vehicle types. You can choose either one to best suit your needs.

Since introducing new profiles we have added extendable poles to our products list.

Should you need to order additional tent poles you are welcome to contact us.

Adding any additional strengtheners are not necessary. Our products are designed to be lightweight but strong and durable and we offer services and repairs for your product for years to come.

If it does it is indiscernible. We have not noticed any increase in fuel consumption over various vehicle types.

The awn bag has been designed to be very snug – this reduces the amount of friction on the awn inside and will ensure that it lasts longer.
Do not force the lifter arms into a flat position as this will cause damage in the long run. By using the correct folding method the lifter arms will still protrude a little at the top.
When you close the bag it will fold them down further (but not flat) without causing damage.

Your seams will “leak” the first time your awning is used as the first rain will allow the seam stitching to swell into place. When made, a seam sealer is used to make them watertight. If your awning is not pulled tight and water pools in an area it can form a pocket and cause dripping as the pocket will stretch the seams. To help with sealing before your first trip out you can open the awning and spray it with a garden hose to swell the seams and fully activate the seam sealer.

The awning works with five to six arms which, when open, allows coverage of 2 or 3 sides of your vehicle. The arms work in a triangular force which gives the awning more strength. By covering three sides the triangular structure is complete and gives additional structural support.

On the L Shape awns this triangular structure is absent, which is why you need to have a support pole.

When each arm is opened, another small arm situated on top of the main arm, pops up and provides additional height to the slope of the roof to give better water drainage and prevents large pockets of water collecting on top of your awning.

The bag of the awning, when open, closes the gap between your vehicle and the awning to prevent water running down the side of your vehicle. It is essentially a gutter while your awning is open.

Ensure the awn is taut for maximum water run off.

PLEASE NOTE that if you open the awning both arms should not be opened at the same time as this will result in damage. Open one arm and then the other. It does not matter which arm is opened first as long as they are not both opened at the same time.

When closing the awn it is better to fold the awn than to roll it as it then fits better in the bag and does not put unnecessary strain on the zip on the bag.

Also check that the lifter arms lower properly and does not hook on anything.

Our awnings have a one year mechanical warranty, which does not cover user error.

The brackets to mount to a BunduTop differs from the brackets used for other fitments.

Apart from this difference the mounting procedure is exactly the same.

ONLY 8.04ft awnings can be mounted onto the BunduTop.

The 9.68ft awning will have too much of an overhang.
