How to attach Easycamp venice 200?

Post by stuc » Sun Sep 21, 2014 9:50 pm

Hi I have been lucky to receive a Easycamp venice 200 awning from a fellow fury member. Really happy with it but how do I attach it to my awning rail?
It has a pole which the previous owner just hooked under the hooks under the AFT but I have not got the hooks as that's where my awning rail is attached under the AFT. I assume it needs a bead of some sort to slide along the rail but how do you fasten it on to the material part of the awning.
I don't need a figure of 8 as I have a rail and if a figure 8 was attached I would still need the bead on the awning to slide on.
A bit puzzled?

Hi Alan, no as I do not have a bead in the awning I've got nothing to attach the other end of a figure 8 to.
Have been looking on tinternet and have found clamps that will clamp the pole which comes with the awning onto the gutter rail, I think this would work well.
Has anyone any experience of these?

Hi Stu

Those clamps are what i use to attach my awning to the Bongo,with a pole.

I also have only 3,and really need 4,so i just use a large plastic clamp i got from B&Q,works fine,as would 4 of the plastic clamps if you have any of them
