For us, the awning was a divorce in a bag!


Very funny

Not sure I want an awning now unless I get the caravan in the settlement

When putting up the awning and it's time for lubrication

No not the beer   

We have been recommended GT85 -----    it's for bikes

Any thoughts or advice 


I would imagine Beer tastes better than GT85 - unless by GT you mean G & T.

On a serious note, we always take our awning panels out before taking down the awning.  They are then already out when we put the awning up next time.  Easier to pack away (or dry if needed) and put up next time.  After threading through and erecting the frame, always zip in the panels before pegging and extending poles etc.

Quite agree with the G&T

But this GT85 is a silicon based spray for lubricating the awning rail. 

So anyone used it , 

We haven't put the awning up yet so, is using a spray a only in emergencies or a regular habit.

Silicon or WD40 pros and cons
