Re: thickness of figure of 8 awning
There are two sizes 6mm and 8mm, you need to use the size that fits your awning and the gutter of the van;

Re: thickness of figure of 8 awning
You need it if you want to be able to drive away from your awning.

Re: thickness of figure of 8 awning
Just a bit confused, ive bought a drive away awning, so will I still need the drive away kit ?
Re: thickness of figure of 8 awning
WIth Outdoor Revoulution you usually need to buy the fitting kit which is shown in the pictures above. Without causing you more concern I am not 100% but are the XL awnings not for van's that are 2.4m high or more, the standard awning would fit the Bongo, I would check this out with Outdoor Revolution before fitting and using it, hopefully I am incorrect.

Hmmm, I fear you may well be correct Flanners. One listing for the Movelite Cayman XL states the awning rail height as in the range 240 -290 cmFlanners wrote: ↑Wed May 30, 2018 5:44 pm WIth Outdoor Revoulution you usually need to buy the fitting kit which is shown in the pictures above.
