Hi Andy

We used to have a Raclet Jade, Green and purple that we used for 2 years. Our only problem was that the cover had decayed with age and was no longer water proof.

The size of the awning is huge and has many  sections in it, usefull for toilet etc.

unfortunately ours was destroyed 2 years ago in high winds hence we now use awning straps on our new unit.

We have now got the Jade up in the garden and are well pleased with it ,its just what we were after.Just wondering if anyone can help with a small problem.It really is regards the sink to the kitchen unit,on our old conway we had a peice of hose which connected to the underneath of the sink to drain the washing up water away however this is missing and theres no fitting ,was hoping for some advice to solve the problem. Thanks Gang
