Hi, just ordered a 5 metre long Thule Omnistor 1200 roll out awning (the type that comes in a bag that you thread onto the awning rail) Looking at a Youtube video that showed one person putting it up and taking it down single handed - is this practical or is it more realistic to need a second person?
------------- real men shouldn't be crying into their beer, they should be drinking whisky.
Much more realistic with two people, I'm not saying it can't be done with one but it's quicker and easier with two.
------------- XVI yes?
As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.

Hi, sorry to jump on this topic, but want to get a 1200. We are trying to avoid having taking a normal awning to France. We saw lots of these last yr. and spoke to several people who had them. Just been on another forum (following link about them) and some owners leave insitu when travelling. Is this the norm?

Okay, that's useful to know, we are not restricted to space inside van to store it. A couple of the people we spoke to removed theirs for travelling - we assumed this was a requirement.

We put ours on prior to leaving for France, always travelled with it on.
Then removed it on our return.

I can't quite understand why anyone would want all the hassle of removing it for travelling.

Me neither, but did see quite a few doing just that as they left a French site last yr!

We had these (of various sizes) for a number of years. They lived permanently on the caravan and we travelled with them like that - we probably couldn't have transported them any other way anyway. However, we finally gave them up and went back to an awning a couple of years ago. This was mainly due to weight and arthritis, making rolling up a tough call. Also our last caravan was quite tall and it meant carrying a small set of steps with us. We are in our 70s now and it just became a bit too much.
------------- Freedom is a light caravan and an open road.
