3 Connecting tunnel to vehicle
Using the beading
Next you connect the tunnel to your vehicle.
You have four different options for connecting the tunnel to your vehicle:
1. 'Over the Top' : Take one of the extra long guy lines attached to the top corner of the tunnel
and throw this over the top of your van.
TIP: If you have a high van attach the guy line to something like a tennis ball which makes it
easier to throw over the roof of your van.
Then repeat with the other top corner. Pull the tunnel up to the top of your vehicle until the
tunnel just sits on the top of your vehicle. It should not sit right on top of your roof, just enough
to hold the tunnel to the top/side of your vehicle.
Peg the two guy lines on the opposite side of your vehicle.
2. 'Using the beading' : If your vehicle has awning channel on you can use the beading sewn
into the top edge of the tunnel. Our tunnel comes with two different sizes, 6mm and 4mm
beading. This is to ensure that the beading can be used with the vast majority of different
channels. Use the appropriate beading for your channel remembering that the closer the fit
the more rain resistant it is. Slide the tunnel to the desired location on your vehicle.
3. 'Using your Wind Out Canopy' : If you have a roll out canopy/awning on your vehicle you
can use this to connect to. First unwind your canopy from your van. You will find that there is
a standard awning channel along the front of the canopy. Slide one of the awning beading
along the top edge of the tunnel into this channel. Once the tunnel is in the desired location,
wind your canopy back away and this will pull the tunnel into position against the side of your
vehicle.
4. 'Using the pole': You can also use the included pole and your suction hooks(not supplied)
to attach the tunnel to the side of your van. First slide the pole into the sleeve along the top
edge of the tunnel. Then using your suction hooks attach the hooks to the pole and sucker
them to your vehicle. You may find that the pole in the sleeve can be placed into the guttering
of your vehicle and clipped (clips not supplied) into place. Either way is acceptable.
• Once you have connected your tunnel to your vehicle you can tension the tunnel and peg
the awning.
• First peg the two bottom rear corners of the tunnel just underneath your vehicle pulling the
tunnel against the side of your vehicle.
• Next move the awning away from your vehicle until the roof of the tunnel becomes tensioned.
• Once the tunnel roof is tensioned peg the rest of the tunnel.
• Once pegged the excess material can be held in place by adjusting the straps on
the corners of the tunnel.
