Sorry for asking but have you got the correct size awning for your van

Was the ground sloping up from the caravan? - slopes and uneven ground can play havoc with awning erection.

Awning manufacturers tend to photograph their products on grass so flat that it would be the envy of a bowling club

(and always on a perfect summer day)

Doesn't sound like sloping ground - particularly if it was falling away from the van, as that would help to raise the front leg extensions.

Is it cotton canvas? - if so, thoroughly soak the front and allow it to dry without being under tension. Cotton canvas can shrink an awful lot - sometimes to the point where you have to wet it again, really stretch it into place over the frame, and then allow it to dry under tension - when it will remain stretched, but still taut

Better still, can you remove the front panels and do the above, without affecting the rest of the awning?
