We have just bought a Eurovent awning and cannot work out how we cover the wheel arch. We have two bits of grey plastic and an extra skirting panel and tow plastic suckers. Some body please tell me whta to do!

The awning is really nice but why is it when you spend hundreds of pounds on something the company think it's ok to not bother giving proper instructions!

Ah Ha - we are not alone! New to a van ourselves and with the bits of plastic with our awning obviously the draught excluder and wheel arch cover plus suckers we actually rang the company. An unhelpful individual said we needed some figure of eight and that would sort it! We googled 'figure of eight' which is a 2 channel rod - you slide one edge of the draught excluder in and then feed it through the channel on the van. When you get to the wheel arch slide the small piece of plastic on the other side of the rod and then finish feeding the main skirt along. The 2 suckers go through the eyelets and stick to the side of the van.
Hope this helps! Once I saw a piece of 'figure of eight' it all became clear!

Do not mess in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

Good idea but I think I will try velcro!
