Oh thank God for you! I had to do this all by myself and had no clue.

[@Dash-km8ji]

Thank you so much, it helped me bring the awning in this morning when my husband wasn't here and the wind was increasing!!! Perfectly clear for a newbie!

[@efozz1]

So glad I could help Cathi. Enjoy the new life travelling Aus.

[@cathisciberras9891]

@@efozz1 I was wondering if I could ask if you would know how to take the back rests for the seats to the table off so we can get them reupholstered? Thanks again Cathi

[@LocksmithSteve]

Thanks Fozzie for all your helpful video's. They've helped me allot, being a new full size caravan owner & recently retired. Cheers.

[@efozz1]

Thanks Steve. Much appreciated. :)

[@sharonbennetts218]

Thank you so much for an informative video, we were really stuck with our new van's awning.

[@efozz1]

Absolute pleasure Sharon.

[@keithwilliams6974]

Two addition to assist. First when starting to roll up the catch on the end maybe too tight to just simply push up. To loosen it simply grab the roller and twist to extend the awning a fraction and the catch will release easily. Secondly, when you have tightened everything it is advisable to use a velcro strap to wrap around the upright sections (just above the black catches) for extra safety to prevent them coming loose when travelling. Happy travelling!

[@markcooke7204]

As a newbie, I found that very easy to digest. Love the way you just keep to the points, very educational :)

[@efozz1]

Thanks Mark. Much appreciated. PS just rtr after 42 years teaching too.

[@markcooke7204]

@@efozz1 Makes total sense now. We just had our van delivered yesterday, so Ill be watching a lot more of your tips & tricks. Enjoy your retirement. :)

[@efozz1]

@@markcooke7204 Thanks. I am so glad it helped. Enjoy the other vids too.

[@peternoble257]

Great mate ,I will watch this again when put the awning out

[@efozz1]

Thanks Peter

[@craiginker6732]

Thank you. We have a different trailer now that has a similar awning to the one you demonstrated. Our previous trailer / caravan had a power awning. This helps me tremendously, thanks again

[@craiginker6732]

P.S. I loved the Bloopers!!!

[@joyleenpoortier7496]

Ok that was great. It showed me what to do. But whether I can do it time will tell.

[@efozz1]

Becomes quite simple after first few goes Joyleen. All the best as you make this opening work for you...

[@Mick_4591]

Interesting video.When i was shown how to unroll/roll up the awning i was never told (by the dealer) to slide strap along to the left then roll up just grab strap on the end push lock upwards and roll up with strap on the end of roller

[@efozz1]

Thanks for comment. bonzoAU .Yes. This sliding method is to stop the wear om just one strip. Have found it works well. :)

[@Mick_4591]

Thanks Brian but after sliding strap to centre and fully rolled up the end of strap disappears and cant be seen .What am i doing wrong?

[@Steve-qq5pq]

Well explained, good effort, thanks...:)

[@efozz1]

Thanks Steve. :)
