Hi. At a site in Devon recently, a kind gentleman offerred to hel us two poor old souls to put up our awning. As neither of us have much strength in our hands, he fetched from his van a Hercules. It was a gadget for gripping and stretching the awning poles for maximum stability. Has anyone else heard of these and would you know where to get one. He had had his for years and it was originally meant for an Isabells with steel poles. It worked fabulously. regards to all J and R.
