Re: repeatedly blocked banjo on WVO..

Yep does that. I did use an inline filter from ebay cheap and better. Best use a cloth and bud to really screw out the gauze. I always vacuum the hole also incase of and escaping bits falling in.

The valley awning is 3.8 x 2.5 and its the but It's the width I really want. Plus I like the styling and expandability. I can't see the khyam standi...

Re: Questions about solar

Good point dogey. I often forget about compass direction. Too busy thinking about view. Flatness and wind direction. Good to remind all about optimal sun location, although I tend to go for view first. Flatness pretty close second, and then sun positioning last. Roof flat does not give bad results. ...

I noticed an extra slot on the fiamma awning not the usual one that connects to drive away awning via a adapter 'kador - i think' strip http://www.agentfiamma.co.uk/images/P/fiamma-f45-rail-300-primary.png think that shows it best it won't fit the bead on the shinner kador strip that runs in the mid...
