Khyam Motordome Classic

[pingpal6]

I purchased a Khyam Motordome Classic from Somerset Camping last week and it looks great but I was somewhat confused as the instructions as they do not show how to peg it down.
There are 2 different pegs, plastic and metal, what pegs go where?
There is a “skirt” round the bottom, should it be pegged inside or outside the tent?
There is a black ribbon that goes round the tent with brass eyes what does this do? should it be pegged down with other parts of the tent?

I sent an email to Khyam and this is their reply

Hi
The strip is for a guide to get the awning square shape and needs pegging down
The skirt should be pegged outwards so water runs off
The reason they have different pegs is purely for different ground types the plastic ones are good in very soft ground other wise use the metal ones and you should be fine
Hope this helps you set the tent up

Thanks

Steve

To the experienced campers they probably seem daft questions but to newbees like me I hope this will help

That's interesting info pingpal i have one of these awnings always wondered what the plastic pegs were for!
I always thought the black strip with the brass eyelets was for the groundsheet shows what i know.
I always pegged the skirt on the inside as does my brother in law with his.
Nice to know I've been doing it all wrong!
