Westfield 300-x-235-x-300 cm Camper Van And Motorhome Air Awning
Thank you for purchasing this Westfield Top Quality Concept awning. Please read these instructions for use fully and carefully before using your awning. Please observe the care and safety instructions
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS AND USAGE
- We recommend the use of an additional groundsheet or covering to avoid any damage to your awning whilst fitting it to your caravan, motor home, or vehicle.
- Please familiarize yourself with the awning before you go on your first trip. We recommend a test set-up before your trip.
- Install your awning on a clean and even surface. Remove stones and branches to avoid possible damage to your awning make a note about the direction and strength of the wind and always try to build your awning up in a wind-protected area.
- Avoid setting up your awning under trees as tree sap and other debris can permanently mark or damage your awning.
- On all coated, non-breathable materials you will always get some condensation. This is when condensed water forms on the coldest surface of the awning which can sometimes be inside the awning.
- Condensation is often mistaken for leaking and is not a reason for complaint or a fault of the awning.
- This can be lessened by ensuring the awning has adequate ventilation to allow increased air flow and thus, reduce condensation.
- This awning is not built for permanent pitching or commercial use.
- Please avoid any snow load. Air awnings are not built for winter camping.
- In the case of strong winds and storms, the awning must be taken down in order to avoid storm damage.
- Never open the zips on any of the air tubes when they are inflated. This can lead to damage to the air tubes and your awning.
- The valves on the air tubes can become loose over time even when not used, so before you inflate your awning you should always check that the valves are tight otherwise they could leak.

Insert Awning
Extend the awning completely and connect the appropriate tunnel for your vehicle with the zipper to the awning.
Make sure that the inside of the awning and the tunnel look upwards.
Now you can retract your canopy completely. Take care that you always relieve your canopy. We recommend that always a second person supports the canopy
PREMIUM LIGHT SERIES
Tighten both side panels in parallel to the vehicle, and use the pegs as shown in picture A. Put these with a light angle under your vehicle.
Please note that you align your awning equally. Afterwards changing the position is not possible.
Pumping
Abgebildet ist der Anschluss der elektrischen Pumpe
Shown is the connection of the electric pump
- Only use the original pump delivered together with your awning.
- Please pump carefully with only about 50% pressure about 3 to 4 PSI.
- Check inside of the awning whether the air tubes are twisted, in order to avoid damages.
- Now you can pump the tubes to the full pressure of 7 PSI. Above 7 PSI the pressure valve from the air pump will automatically open to avoid overpressure.
- Close the protective cap on the valve to avoid loss of pressure.
- Depending on the soil texture we recommend the use of distance sets to align your airtubes.
Our AAS system enables you to pump up your awning using only one valve point.
Pitching
Pitching
Peg you awning now. Always start at the vehicle and then go outside. Always set the supplied pegs at a slight angle (see illustration A). Always use all guying points.
For strain relief, please always put the included elastics between the straps and the tension ring These regulate excessive tension and thus avoid damage to your awning.
Drive-Away-Kit
A drive-away awning is designed to be attached to a vehicle and has the ability to be detached from your vehicle whilst remaining pitched. This allows you to leave the awning pitched ready for you to drive back and reconnect at a later date. The process of pitching drive away awning (and disconnecting) is as follows:
- Park your vehicle on-site in the position required.
- Take the awning out of the bag and connect the tunnel on the awning to your vehicle.
- Inflate your awning and finish pitching the awning.
- When you want to drive away( and leave the awning pitched) you disconnect the awning tunnel from your vehicle.
- Secure the awning and tunnel ready for departure.
- Mark the position of your vehicle (very important as when you return you have to park in the same place as before). You can do this by putting pegs by the front and rear wheel of your vehicle or marking the area any way you wish.
- Drive away, leaving your awning pitched.
- When you return, you park in the same place as before (using the markings you put down in step 6)
LEAKING VALVES AND HOW TO FIX THEM
Locate the leaking valve & undo by twisting it anti-clockwise, you will hear air coming out but once released from its connection this should stop.
This should leave you with a connection like a picture
valve spanner
Locate the valve tool from the inside of the awning peg bag.
Insert the valve tool into the grooves and while holding the grey connection turn the handle clockwise. This should tighten the valve & stop any leaking air from escaping from the tube (please be careful not to over-tighten the connection).
- To deflate the air tube, carefully unscrew the valves out of the air tubes. Please be aware that the air will rush out very quickly so unscrew the valve slowly to help release the pressure slowly.
- To help with packing the awning away, the valves should be left out as this allows any trapped air to escape when the awning is packed away
The zipper of the reinforced Air tube sleeves is secured against the opening via the use of a tie. If you remove this tie for any reason, it must be replaced before using the awning again. Never open it when the air tube is under pressure. To avoid damage, the zipper must remain closed. Ensure that the air tubes are properly stored in the sleeves and that all zippers are closed.
REPLACING A TPU AIR TUBE
- Deflate the air tube fully. Never replace or repair a tube before deflating it fully.
- Break the plastic ties on the sleeve of the air tube and unzip the sleeve. Then remove the protective cover and air tube from inside the sleeve. Break the plastic ties on the protective cover and unzip the protective cover. Remove the TPU bladder from inside the protection cover.
- Now simply replace the tube, and place it inside the protective cover being careful to ensure that is not twisted as a twist in the bladder could cause damage when it is inflated. Once the tube has been fitted zip the protective cover shut. You must then relock the zips with a new plastic tie or similar solution. If you do not relock the zips then you could well cause damage to your awning when it is inflated.
GENERAL CARE AND USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
CANVAS SEAMS
The main seams of this awning are taped to ensure water protection. These can become damaged over time but can be repaired and resealed by using seam sealer. For the best results, we recommend contacting your dealer to find out which products to use.
CONDENSATION
All coated, non-breathing materials suffer from condensation. The amount of condensation depends upon the weather conditions and the environment (such as wet ground etc.). During condensation, water can collect on the fabric of the awning. If enough condensation forms this can run down the awning and drip off seams or any other stitching point. It can be lessened by ventilation. Ventilating your awning allows air to flow though the awning and lessens the buildup of condensation. Condensation is often mistaken for leaking and is not a reason for complaint or a fault of the awning.
USAGE
This awning is designed for private and non-commercial use. This air awning is not for permanent or for seasonal site use. The warranty does not cover this. In case of storms or snowfall, the awning must be taken down
to avoid damage.
STORAGE AND CLEANING
Please store your awning dry. If you must take your awning down when it is wet, you must unpack it within a week and allow it to dry out before packing it away. This is to ensure that mold and mildew do not build up as this can lead to damage on your awning and is not covered under your warranty. To clean this awning, we recommend using a specific tent or awning cleaner or just water and a soft cleaning cloth. Heavy soiling should be allowed to dry and brushed with a soft brush beforehand. After cleaning your awning, you should always reproof it as the UV coating on your awning could be damaged during cleaning. For the best results, we recommend contacting your dealer to find out which products to use.
FIRE AND VENTILATION PRECAUTIONS
- If using gas or other combustion appliances additional ventilation is required
- Do not place hot appliances near the walls, roof or curtains
- Always observe the safety instructions for these appliances
- Never allow children to play near hot appliances
- Keep exits clear
