just checked the slackness its because where the back of the caravan is a mound of soil and grass so no matter how high i put it, its still goilng to be a bit slack, will check better next time I pitch the van, wasnt expecting to be putting up a full awning on this site.hey ho

I tried using the rubbers with the T shape and they were rubbish, as soon as you put any kind of tension on them, the T just broke off! In the end I've used large rubbers fed through the tent loop and then fed the rubber through itself and also I've used the shock cord too. Both of which work well.
I must be another saddo - this has caused me a few sleepless nights!! In the end I have gone for shock cord (bungee cord) clamped with (after much investigation) a link from an old plug chain and wrapped in a short length of heat shrink. A very tidy solution.
You don't want to go on holiday with me; I spend the entire week measuring, underneath, or redesigning my folding camper and camping gear!
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
