2007 Dethleffs Globebus Motorhome — Video Tour (Part 2 of 6)

To wind out your canopy, get your canopy pole here, it's got a hook on the end, the hook slots into the end socket on the canopy. You can then bend your pole in two places to make it a handle and wind your canopy out from the van. You're only winding the canopy out so far until you can reach it and as soon as you can reach it you want to be bringing your legs out. Your legs are located inside the casing.

To bring your legs down what we need to do is pull the legs out towards the corner and then unclips it from the front, making sure it's clear at the back there, undo the knuckle on the leg, raise the leg up and lock it into place with the locking knuckle. Same at the other side here. Out to the corner first, undo the knuckle on the leg, making sure it's clear at the back there, lowers down nice and naturally, raise it up and lock it into place. You can then step the legs out from the van at both sides and continue to wind your canopy out to its full extent, making sure you don't bring it out when it's windy and if the weather turns, put it away as quick as possible as it will just act like a big kite.

Once you're out to full extent you can adjust your legs, you can adjust the height of your canopy and you can pin your feet to the ground with tent pegs. To put the canopy back away we step the legs back in towards the van at both sides, we then take a step back and make sure nothing's landed on the roof of the canopy, no leaves, no debris, no branches, provided it's clear we can wind it back in roughly to where we had it to put the legs back away. Undo the knuckle on the leg, raise the leg back up nice and naturally up to the casing here. Once you get up to the top you want to put your foot to the front face, you drop it into place and then we slide it in from the corner which puts your foot in behind the red retaining clip.

Same at the other side here, undo the knuckle on the leg, raise it up nice and naturally back up to the casing, foot goes to the front face in there and slide it in from the corner into the retaining clip. We can then wind the canopy back in towards the van making sure it is fully closed before we travel.
