Sounds a bit like my OH a couple of years ago - brand new awning, first time out, and he burned two holes in the door with his fag! Needless to say, he was in the doghouse for quite a while afterwards.

That'll teach you for leaving hubby in charge of washing line. Stick with the flowery patch...we will all know who you are then and can say hello.

will gte pics of it when were away we can do without lecy this trip and then everyone can tell me what to do with my lecky when i get back lol.
I have got some tenacious tape instead it will do for this season as the awaning looks like its on its last legs its that old it has the braid tassle trim on the front like an old sofa lol. so will go on the hunt for a scond hand one when we get back. one that you can just open the tops of the doors to let air in. the one we have now just has one zip pull on each door so we have to open the door completly witch didnt bother me till this weekend when someone thought it was fun to open my dogs cage and let him out by coming in the far door if it had been ziped hafe way up i would have heard them. luckly he was caughet before the next race whent up or he and the other dogs could have been reakly hurt. they ever took my washing up bowl that we found latter that night behined th van.
