Tried this on the van for the first time today and can't seem to get it to fit quite right. The problem that I am having is that it seems to sit too high of the ground i.e where you peg out the sides etc is too high and leaves too big a gap between the bottom of the awning and the ground.

Anyone else experience this problem and have you came up with a solution. Seems my van is too high. Swift Challenger 620 (2010)

I was going to purchase one of these for my new van which is a new Swift Challenger 570 becuase I wanted mid porch with an annexe, not sure what to do now?

Just a minor thing but the Encore has now been replaced with the Mira. Withe the exception of and increased waterproofing I have been told that it is exactly the same but will let you know if it different when mine is delivered on Monday
