Thinking of purchasing the above.

Might seem like a "daft" question but how do you initially slide the bag into the awning rail?

Does the roller etc have to be removed and be refitted after the bag is pulled through the awning channel?

Many thanks

Its best as a two person job. All you do is unzip the bag and get your helper to unroll the canopy and hold the beam out of harms way so you don't dent the van. This makes the bag much more flexible and allows you to thread it along the awning rail until its in position. Once in place you can roll it up again and zip it back in the bag.

We had a 4 metre Omnistor 'caravan style' and when it was first fitted it had to be completely unrolled because the 'feed' point in the awning rail was at the bottom - and the awning needed to be made flexible to negotiate the roof bend.

Later, we borrowed a tool from a caravan workshop that created another 'feed point' along the top rail - meaning that the rolled up awning could be easily slipped on or off.
