What is the maximum vehicle height this fits?

Troubleshooting

Awning feels unstable in windy conditions

Ensure all guy lines are fully tensioned and the pegs are driven into the ground at a 45-degree angle.

Condensation appearing inside the fabric

Open the dedicated ventilation points to improve cross-flow and prevent moist air from settling.

Difficulty attaching to the vehicle rail

Verify that you have a compatible driveaway kit installed, as the Kador strip cannot connect directly to the vehicle without one.
