Great video I’m looking to fit the same rail on my camper-van it doesn’t look as daunting now 😂
It’ll be easy lol. Get on with it 😂
@@foxystravels easy for you to say 😂😂😂
Hi just a quick question where did you get your awning rail from please? Regards Andy
Hi, Thanks for watching. It's from a place called Autoplus in Stockton on Tees. 316 Norton Rd. Cheaper than other places, and loads of different lengths
Thanks for getting back!!! Andy big help
@@AndrewHemingway-gn5xg No problem :)
You door will open and close no bother if you use the figure of eight connection on your awning . As that will take the awning away from your door 👍
But I don’t know what that means lol.
Please tell me.
Sorry. After reading my comment how I worded it was a bit bullish. Sorry for that
What I meant by putting awning rail further back. Further back on the roof. So that overhang didn't get caught in the door. I used sikaflex 522 on my rail. Didn't use any screws. It's extremely strong. In fact sika say impossible to remove without mechanical tools
Multitool /chisel etc
No worries. I'm trying to do everything on a budget. I know it's a caravan awning, but I already had it from when I had the caravan, which I sold to buy the van :)
hi, wondering if you managed to find a solution to getting it trapped in the sliding door? I have done exactly the same as you on my master but cant shut the door without trapping the awning. I don't really want to move the rail to the roof but that's all I can see to solve the problem.
Nope, we just slam it in the door lol. 😂
lol fair enough, there is too much hanging on mine to even contemplate that :) on the plus side, the new awning rail stops the rain dripping in! @@foxystravels
@@adymaddocks8307 I’m not finished on trying to solve the problem though.
I was thinking of cutting off the excess

Glad you’re still watching them 😊
Number 1.
you're using a caravan awning on a Motorhome. Not designed for it
Number 2.
you should have fixed awning rail further back so it didn't get trapped in door.
Number 3
A proper Campervan awning is made wide enough for door to open fully
You like numbers don’t you lol.
I’m well aware of everything you said.
But to be fair, you do sound like an old teacher 👨🏫
Why is 6 afraid of 7 ?
