Hi

Hopefully someone can help us, we've had our camper for a couple of years now and just started to put up awning, 1st time we put it up perfectly, however there was heavy rain and gale force winds. 

We just put the awning up for a 2nd time and it seems to be really saggy on the roof and at the front main pole.  Our poles on camper were set differently this time as well, 1st time we set it to the middle hole and this time just the first hole.  Do you think that would make a difference to awning or could it be water/wind damage from previous outing (awning dry when put away)

Help! Any thoughts, ideas or advice

Thanks in advance

Lizanne

Awnings are a bit of a thing at the best of times. I suspect you just need to fiddle with the awning poles to stretch it. The camper height will make very little difference. If anything the awning would shrink from being put away wet not stretch. Ours was badly put up once and filled with water which I thought would leave a flabby patch but it seemed to go back ok. Being on a slope is what we find hardest to compensate for and to be honest we tend to fiddle with the poles until we go home. Try stretching the gable and roof poles. ( I hate awnings, if you didn't guess, comes from being five foot nothing on a good day)

Good friends are hard to find, difficult to leave and impossible to forget.

Hi,   Before zipping in the panels and after inserting the 3 short front flap poles expand all three roof poles to thier full extent then twist the short flap front poles to take up the slack of the flap  Turn the left one anticlockwise and the right one clockwise.  Also as Jan say's if you are not on perfectly level ground will not get the awning perfect.

Ray.
