Sorry but if you look at all the other videos you will see that you should NOT extend the awning all the way without the support legs down as this puts undue strain on the mounting assembly. Lower the legs when you have a enough of the awning wound out that you can reach it to take the weight and then reposition the legs when the awning is wound fully out. I would advise this video is taken down and shot again when other videos on the same topic have been viewed as the method shown will in time almost certainly damage the mounting assembly 😟😟😟😟😟😟
@@DuBstep115 I’m sorry you’ve lost me. My comment applied to what the video showed and how from my own experience and watching several videos one from the manufacturer you should use the legs and not leave this type of awning unsupported during erecting. Your comment about a car is I imagine related to a different scenario and not to the one being discussed. I would be interested to hear a more detailed description of what you’re comment is referring to.
@@stevebeale2187 You are correct. Thule say to only open it by 1 metre before lowering the legs. however I'm not sure a lot of people could reach if it was only extended I metre. Re @DuBstep 115 comment. I think they are referring to an awning which is supported by legs that attach to the body of the motorhome not the ground.

How are you supposed to do it if the legs are mounted to car instead to ground?
