  5. I do like that :)
     
  6. Try pole and clamp - it's better for staying attached to the van, and you don't get the leaks that you do with fig 8.
     
  7. How do they work chap?
     
  8. The awning skirt often has a sleeve on the end, near the piping for the figure 8, that you can feed a pole into. You slip the pole into this sleeve, and put the pole and sleeve inside the gutter on the van. You then clamp it in place with spring clamps - I found that the type you can pick up from markets and pound shops will do the job, as long as the spring in them is nice and strong. Like these:

    If you get a pole and clamp kit from awning suppliers, it often comes with spring clamps like this:

    Either is good enough for the job.

    This type of system means that the awning skirt is more firmly attached to the van, and can't work loose like it can with figure 8 strips.
