Awning set up
Just had a practice before the bash to see everything fits on the new van and all is looking good so I took some pics to let you have a look. Caravanstore awning with the sides cut down to fit. Works a treat and takes minutes to set up.
Do what you like.Like what you do.

Re: Awning set up
We're taking our caravan for it's 3rd outing to the Bash, it came with an awning but we haven't had a practice run with it, so if you see a couple at the Bash who look like they're headed for the divorce courts, that'll be us We always used to fall out when we 1st started putting up the bongo awning together so god knows what'll happen with a caravan awning with no instructions.

Re: Awning set up
I found with caravans awnings .. it's how easy it fits into the awning rail ..
I bought some dry silicone lubricant .. and a rail spreading tool .. which I used to push (or tap) through the awning rail before trying ..

Re: Awning set up
Thanks for the advice Mike, I'm sure David has something that will do the job in his little bag of trick, aka his tool box Will get him to have a look at the rail before was go on Wed.

Re: Awning set up
Good memory Dave, I was just having a look at what I could cook this time in my camper van cookbook, and came across the one with the broccoli in and had a good chuckle to myself. Show your face and I might be able to show you what some other forms of vegetables look like. Did you know potatoes are actually round not chip shaped?
