One day to go and its the first time out for us, just doing a couple of days at the local CC site so that we can give the members a good laugh as we attempt the awning for the first time and just about every thing else for the first time,  fantastic!!

good rule of thumb

lay all the poles out in order so they are to hand take you time and dont argue.lol

If it's anything like our first time in September you won't be able to work out which pole is which and end up really confused!  We have now colour coded our poles and the diagram that came with them - we can now erect it in about 30 minutes instead of 2 hours (and that's only 3 times we've had it up).

Have a great time.

when we first started caravaning. it took 4 cans of lager to put the awning up, now it only takes 2 !!!

Theres a saying that if you want to make God laugh tell him your plans for the future and of course we now have to cancel the trial run until next week, thankyou for your replies I shall let you all know how we get on next week   oh bol`*!';/*s

Go on do tell  have a great time

We had no clue what to do with our awning - yes, it was new, but the instructions were appalling (it's a Bradcot Classic) - I even looked round the site for a similar awning & asked for help, but they weren't much use either!!  Fortunately, 'the slightly older than us' couple behind us came to our escue - we've now colour coded our poles!!! - porch awnings are so much easier.

C&CC & CC members are really helpful though, so am sure someone will help you - have fun, & make sure you've a few chilled beers ready - lubrication always helps !!
