Unhooking figure of eight drive away?

[Dr Fingers]

The figure of 8 stays on if you keep up the tension. I found an excellent device

Tarp clips attach each side of the awning and guy I them down sideways. Keeps the awning tight in the figure of 8, stops any flapping in the tunnel bit and eliminates the area where rain puddles (we used the pole and clamp method until the clamps were pulled off the gutter by the weight of water collecting in the awning tunnel during a heavy downpour one night).

Also means you don't have to be so careful about correct repositioning next to your awning after you have 'driven away'.

Shame, link not working?

Found them invaluable for all sorts of stuff in the bongo from awning tie downs to washing line holders. It lets you attach a guy line just where it suits rather than where there is an eyelet (or most usually not an eyelet)

Excellent thingies. The ones with ratchets inside are best I think. Kleeneze used to sell them, and they're on Ebay

Kinda pricey, for a bit of plastic??

Hi,
I have 3 pieces of figure of 8 and they are great for keeping the awning in place, never any problem with windy conditions. They can be difficult to remove but for some reason my wife can push them off better than me!
