Thanks may be worth a try.But top and bottom seem ok its the (sponge) padding that keeps moveing from behind the upright pole. the pole seems to flex away from the side of the van and increase the gap

Thanks again Bg

When using the porch I use my vans levelling blocks, this gives me extra height and I can get the awning sides tighter.

that sounds a good idea!

If all else fails, try the old fashioned method of the thick sealed cell foam pipe lagging that comes in 2 mtr lengths from any DIY or plumb centre, its split along one side to allow it to be attached to the pipe, but in your case the rear upright pole, to keep the side wraps in place. Even with the foam pads ready attached type of awning it makes for a snugger fit, and is better than nothing, and is fairly cheap to buy.

We are very pleased with the snug-to-the-sides fitting of our Kampa Rally porch, the rear upright poles and thick sewn on pads keep out the drafts and rain very well indeed.
