The approved awning tent Safari Residence consists of 2 single side panels and one front panel in neutral colour (RAL 9002). The window foils integrated in the side panels are equipped with mosquito nets and can be opened completely. The front panel (for lengths of more than 3.5 m) has a door on the left and on the right side and can be rolled up partly or completely. Thanks to the integrated fixation rail, the front can be combined very comfortably e.g. with a sun blocker. By means of a clamping profile the side panels are connected to the awning fabric. Front and sides are connected by a double Keder profile, creating a strong and wind-resistant connection. A height-adjustable mast profile equipped with double rubber sealing, into which the side panels Keder profile is slid in, is pressed to the vehicle‘s side and perfectly seals this section. Additional stability is provided by a diagonal support between the clamping and the mast profile. Thule Residence is available in 6 different heights (see table) for vehicles with straight sides. In case of an awning mounted straight above the vehicle's entrance, special side panels for combination with a higher front section with less roof pitch are available as a special order. All special orders have approx. 4 – 6 weeks of delivery time. Delivery includes 2 transportation bags and vehicle apron.
