Is the Kampa travel pod a driveaway awning?..if so you could try just attaching a couple of throw-over straps and pegging it down?

Not ideal but at least it's easier to get re-lined up,if you go out with the van.. 

Kampa Travel Pod:

My van has a pop top and so it's not possible to " try just attaching a couple of throw-over straps and pegging it down?" as the pop top gets in the way.

On a similar van that I used to have, I had a "proper" driveaway awning and I never did solve the problem of the figure of 8 thingy falling out of the gutter all the time.

My current van has a length of awning channel secured to the side above the gutter which the awning could be fitted to - but it does entail taking the awning down if I want to drive off site.

I don't think there's an easy solution.

Well,if it's got a "pop roof" and you don't want to fix an awning rail on,then I'd be going for the pole and clamp approach..

Even if the awning doesn't have a sleeve,it could still be fastened down(in a fashion!)

We never had much luck with the fig of 8 either...
