Hi all
Can anyone give me a starter as to how I put an awning up.
It came with the van and I was promised that it was good but I've no idea as to how I even get started with it. I also don't know what make or size it is but there must be some secrets to doing this. The van is 16ft and the awnibg is a full one.
Any help appreciated. I know I'm going to look completely daft the first time I do it.

thread the awning through the channel,fix your fittings for the poles to go into onto the awning,sort out which poles go where.ie left and right side and centre lay on the ground.fix centre poles first including leg. then fit right side and then the left.tighten up after.ask wizard to send you a pole layout of the dorema i sent him.it will give some idea of how poles go.
------------- the only silly question is the one you do not ask.

Hi again
I'll try to identify mine when I next go to the van.
I'll wait to see if wizard comes up with the other one but I can see the principal by looking at this one.
Thanks

Hi again
Hope wizard comes up with the diagram because I'm sure it's a Dorema like you mentioned before but you've given me a guide that will allow me to have a go but the diagram from Wizard would be good for future reference.
All the best.
