Hi how do you fasten the porch to the sides of the van?
I know it goes in the rail at the top for the roof but the side's?
The porch is an outdoor rev XL

You don't I don't think. On our Bradcot we have two extra poles that sit in the padded sleeves next to the van but the actual awning isn't attached to anything at the sides.

Most do not have any means to do this. All you can do is peg the side UNDER the van to hold it in.
We have a Kampa Rally 260 and bought 2 optional extra poles which hold the awning sides tight against the van, a much better arrangement.

I have problems with that, as well. I look at other peoples' awnings and they're nice and tight against the van but mine always seems to have a few inches gap, however tight under the van I peg it - and it's always got wrinkles, too.

They are designed to be simply the best fit you can get bearing in mind the oddities of pitches...slopes etc. Best thing is to get that best fit, sit down facing away from the van and open the red...you don't see any gaps then.

You can get two Isabella, (or similar), awning rail stops, which prevents the beading moving along the rail in windy weather. When you have the awning in the correct position, left to right, one will act as a stop for the next time to line it up.

Jim.
