Dorema Toronto

[scorpius]

Hi folks, we've just brought a second hand dorema Toronto awning and are using it for the first time this wet weekend. I've put it up after some struggling and it looks fine the only problem I have is poles that come down the side of the roof and meets the front leg and canopy poles seems to be missing some thing or I'm just not putting it up right. The roof pole goes through the corner leg then butts up it the canopy pole. When you try to tension the roof pole it just Pushes the canopy pole out. I've walked round the camp to see if anyone else has 1 but no luck. The awning is around 4 years old and other than that I'm very happy. Any 1 got a detailed pole diagram or link. Cheers from a wet great Yarmouth

hi Mark
we have a dorema awning got it with the van so it's about 6years old now and might be the same model, the canopy pole bits "3 of them" are best fitted first and locked in place when the legs and roof poles are first erected and yes they are fiddly to get right seem to remember ours was up and down 8 or 9 times before I figured out exactly how it all worked,
one other point make sure you have the legs and roof poles in the right place on first inspection both sides seem identical but they are handed and can be mixed up the shortest bit of the corner piece goes to the canopy

Hi Colin when you say "canopy pokes, 3 of them' are you talkin about the 2 small poles about 10in long with the spike on them?

hi mark. yes thats correct. only mine has 3 one at either end just above the legs and one in the middle on the apex of the roof.

I found Dorema very helpful over a repair. Why not contact them and see if they will send you a copy of the instruction leaflet - just google Dorema for the contact.
