attaching an awning
Posted: Mon Jun 04, 2018 11:35 am
Hi guys,
I've had a quick look through numerous posts but want to make sure I get my specific question answered so I hope you don't mind the new post.
Last year we bought an Easy Camp Sebring drive away awning, when it came to pitching we just used the three clamps supplied but we're not too happy with this method as we didn't want to damage the van by over tightening them and in strong wind it blew off.
Excuse my ignorance but the rail on the side looks to be like a rain gutter? Is this what is used to connect the figure of 8 plastic strips to or do you need something else?
I think that would be more secure but I've heard people say that they are a bit tight to get on and difficult to line up when you return from a day out.
Is the solution to leave the strip on permanently (it won't come off on the motorway will it?) and also would two figure of 8 strips (one on the van and one on the awning make it easier to reattach?
Sorry for daft questions, we're still newbies at all this
