Has anyone used awning suction clamps on the side of a coachbuilt motorhome?

Do they work, or do they slide and fall off?

Hi,

You can see them here:

http://shop.justkampers.com/product_info.php/products_id/10832?osCsid=474d616ed4d9bc8c5d4489b40d7122e6

But, I have found if you buy suction lifters from diy stores, like this one at B&Q:

http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav/nav.jsp?action=detail&fh_secondid=9371376&fh_location=%2f%2fcatalog01%2fen_GB&fh_search=suction&fh_eds=%c3%9f&fh_refview=search&ts=1181851247846&isSearch=true

You can attach the awning to this, and it is a lot cheaper!

I had some of the JK ones and found they didn't work too well, but they were specifically designed to take a pole that threaded through the awning, slight bit of wind and they were off.

Maybe the suction lifters would work better.

Hi lowick,

how do you attach the awning to the suction lifters?

Cheers,

I,m just going to stick the suction lifters to the side of the van and either tywrap or bungee the" down" pole to the lifters anythings worth a go, cause the poles move in the wind, which in turn makes all my "C" clips on the awning fly off which in turn lets the wind get under the awning and frightens our lass to death,which keeps us awake all night, (she can half moan !)

I was going to tie a rope to the awning bead, and then thread the rope through the handle on the suction lifters.
