Hello again, if I order a porch awning (I like the Kampa fiesta) why are upright or back poles optional? Do you need them or not, what added function do they do?

Thanks as you can tell I'm new to all this

Hi Ellers 52 we have just bought the Kampa 350 with the rear ploes....do we need the monsoon poles, was hoping the awning would not  not puddle on the roof!!!!!!!

Thanks David,

only bought the awning last weekend so looking forward to trying it out.....I was concerned about being away without the necessary poles....you have reassured me ....Hope we are as pleased with the Fiesta as you are must admit a lot of your comments made our minds up for us.

Hope you have a good time when you get away, and that you find the Fiesta works for you.  We hardly ever use the window blinds on ours.  In fact we keep them rolled down all the time.  When we fold the Fiesta we take the panels out ( - you don't have to, just our preference) - we even fold the panels with the blinds rolled down - saves us having to do in next time we put it up.

The next time we use our Fiesta (probably October Half Term now as we'll use the full awning over the summer), I'm hoping to change the wing nuts on the roof poles for some of these, if they fit: Gripons (bottom half of the page in link).  My hands are large and I find wing nuts a bit fiddly.  See how you get on and if I can do anything to help, please ask.  If I'm away from UKCS, then my email address is always at the bottom of my posts.  Let us know how you get on.

Best wishes,
