Q. HOW DO I ATTACH THE PRIVACY PANELS?
ATTACHMENT METHODS
SheltaPod can attach to your vehicle using various different methods.
Option A: On older camper vans, there is the gutter rail where a pole slides into the pole sleeve and then clamps securely inside the gutter (please note that the pole and clamps are not supplied with SheltaPod). You can buy them here.
Option B: For more modern vans with an awning rail, there is also a bending strip that threads into a 9-10mm C channel. If you want to drive away then you also need a Kador strip and figure of eight which can been seen in the photo but does not come with SheltaPod. You can buy them here.
Option C: We supply 2 x five meter webbing straps for 'over the top' attachment. There's also three velcro straps that can attach to roof bars/racks. This option is suitable for cars, SUVs, camper vans and small tailors. Simply throw to the far side of the vehicle and tie / hook on.
Option D: And finally, you can use suction clamps (not supplied), that attach to the pole in the pole sleeve. This is suitable for flat roof vehicles. SheltaPod will attach to vehicles as high as 280cm. You can buy these here.
*Please note we do not sell the attachment equipment but they can be easily found online or at any good camping store.
ATTACHING TO A FIAMMA AWNING
If you are attaching to a roll out awning then please check the diameter of the C channel. SheltaPod uses 6mm beading. If your C channel is 4mm then you will need to separately purchase a 4mm to 6mm Kador conversion strip.
