    How does the Van Connect Arpenaz Fresh awning connect to the van?

    The connection system of this van awning is made up of:
    - an aluminium bar to be placed in a sleeve to place and then on the roof of your vehicle;
    - two 3.8 m straps to make it taut. They pass over your vehicle and attach to the bottom of the bodywork or to the rims of your van. They can also be pegged down,

    How to put up and take down the Van Connect Arpenaz Fresh awning

    There are three poles to insert into their corresponding sleeves. Each one is colour-coded, which will help you with the assembly process.
    We recommend that 2 people pitch the tent.

    Does the Van Connect Arpenaz Fresh awning provide protection from the sun?

    The Ti0² coated Fresh fabric has a UPF of 50+.
    Caution: A large amount of UV rays can pass through an open door. Protect your skin with sunscreen.

    What ventilation systems does the Van Connect Arpenaz Fresh awning have?

    Two openings, each fitted with mosquito nets, face each other. They provide good ventilation to the living area whilst also protecting you from insects.

    How wind resistant is the Van Connect Arpenaz Fresh awning?

    We test all our living rooms in a wind tunnel on a turntable to expose each side of the living room to the wind. A properly pitched living room with all guy ropes fitted should remain habitable in wind speeds up to 50 km/h near the ground.

    How water resistant is the Van Connect Arpenaz Fresh awning?

    We test our living rooms to validate their waterproofing. The first test is done in the laboratory, 3 hours under 200 litres of water per hour per sqm, equivalent to 200 mm tropical rain per hour. The second test is carried out by our teams in the field in real conditions. This living area is fitted with a polyurethane-coated polyester flysheet measuring 2,000 mm. It also has seams that have been waterproofed with heat-sealed strips, and a 140 g/sqm polyethylene groundsheet.

    Is the Van Connect Arpenaz Fresh awning repairable?

    Our van awnings will accompany you on your camping trips.
    Over time, some parts may wear out or break.
    To help with repairs, we make the most common parts accessible to you to make them easy to replace.

    How to properly maintain the Van Connect Arpenaz Fresh awning

    Our camping living rooms have been designed for occasional outdoor use (4 weeks per year) when camping or in the great outdoors. Continued exposure to UV rays over several weeks can damage the fabric. These products are not classified as “garden furniture” and aren’t designed to be left outdoors permanently. To guarantee maximum robustness of your living room, it's important to store it when not in use.
