Thats what they do!

Off-load it quick like I did with my 390 and put it down to experience.

I replaced it with a Harrison porch, brand new (boxes unopened) in Burgundy for £100.00, which is such a bargain and the quality so superior I was happy to take a £70.00 hit on the Sunncamp.

We use clingons, here.  On the skirt of 260.

Your welcome  Buckley mug, read here.

Never really has a problem with mine fitting.

We also looked at the suncamp ultima 260 and noticed no eyelets and thought this might be a problem. Ended up buying the compactalite 250 which fits fine on our van that measured 240. Only used once so far but also had gaps in the side, but think we will sort on next trip out.

From one buckley mug to another, if you want to try ours against your van, give us a shout.

Seems as though some people love the 260 and some hate it! Will try it again this weekend weather permitting! Have ordered the clingons today Jusy ,see how we get on with those. Thanks robertskd might take you up on that, will give you a shout if needst be !

If you dont get on with them, i will be changing my name     

I have the 390 one from towsure. The first time i put it up. it was a pain in the rear. It would not fit properly. The 2nd & 3rd time i started getting it spot on. I can now put it up in 15mins all by my self. You need to make sure the caravan is level with the ground. (eg) if the ground as a slight fall on it make sure the caravan as a slight fall as well.

This is how i fit it.Make sure its all zipped up. Feed it into the awning rail. then were the skirts goes down the side of the van. Peg these ends down first with the pegs pulling it slightly under the van so the skirt is tight to the van. Then put one of the end poles in fully. square that end up with the van & peg it down so there is a slight tension on the side panel. peg down guide rope to hold that pole up. Now fit other end pole in & do the same with this one but make sure the front panel at the bottom gets some slight tension as well. Peg down guide rope to hold this pole up. Now insert the middle pole & make sure its inline with the outer poles & peg it down. Next step put the two roof pole in & tension them up. Then tension guide ropes up. last job peg it all down. This is for the 260 its the same for a 390 just one extra pole to fit. bear with it buckley mug you will get there.

If that don't work take a spade with you. dig 2 holes in the ground & drive the caravan wheels into them. that should get the awning skirts on the ground.

I have a ground sheet that is bigger then the awning. I fold this over at the ends so it rests on the awning skirts holding them down to stop the wind from getting under them.

Good luck

I have a 260 and I use the klingon things too.

I dont do any pegging down till everything is in place
