Looks great! Ive got a supapeg 180 awning but eyeing off this one (freestanding 180). I noticed you used 4 poles in your setup, do you think all 4 are needed in adverse weather? Part of me looking into the freestanding was to avoid having so many poles (e.g. just 2 middle ones would be ideal) And did you make it so the poles clip back up? Or did the awning come that way
I mounted two poles on permanently and they swing up into clips. Works a treat. When the poles are down I just drill the pegs into their feet. No Guy ropes. You could get away with just the two center ones , I just put the outer ones up for extra strength. As I said before a pole less awning puts a huge pressure on the mounting points and it doesn't matter what brand of awning you have.
Very informative, thanks for taking the time to post.
👍
Looks good Agree about the Velcro
Thanks David. So far very happy with it. Especially with the permanent legs I put on. We unfold it every camping spot so far.
