Quality Drive away awnings have 2 common methods for attachment. It is the top of the tunnel that attaches only, not the whole end section. The 'sides' are pegged in tension as close the the structure as possible, in the case of a caravan down the outer wall.
A gusset to which poles can be threaded through and clamped to structure be it camper van, caravan, wall, tree etc
A bead that fits to a figure of 8 plastic extrusion.
The figure of 8 can in turn be attached to a vehicle rain gutter on a camper / traditional van; the top of a cassette type awning; to a kador safari gusset to insert in a front channel of a cassette awning; a safari/safari gusset to fit an awning rail.
The difference between a safari/safari and kador/safari gusset is that the k/s has different diameter beads, the s/s has same size beads each side of the gusset. Thread the gusset into the awning rail as you would a caravan awning, run to the top, then bring tunnel up close and thread 2 beads into figure of 8.
There are different heights of drive away awnings, the height will determine the slope of the tunnel.
In your case you need a gusset, just establish what the bead sizes are, and figure of 8. From your description. Checking the towsure web site they show a Motorhome drive away kit. Establish your caravan awning rail size and ask towsure for the correct gusset within the kit. The picture on the towsure site appears to show a s/s gusset i.e. equal size beads, but there are no words to confirm this, so ask the question, to save hassle. This is based on the Towsure XS awning you quote. The Movelight appears the same but has less detail available on the website.
Good luck.
