    Bala is about an hour from me so close enough if things go wrong...
    We don't know if it has any holes, what we may need etc and don't even know how to set up the awning!

    Wine usually helps in putting up an awning Bunny. When you get it up, mark the poles with some coloured tape (or masking tape ) so that next time its easier.

    Have a good weekend, should have headed south and come to Bug Jam:D
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    Bun, the awning looks a bit daunting, and we found the instructions didn't really relate to it at all :rolleyes: so we just guessed, and after an hour or so of messing around with it, managed to get the frame to look awning shaped. The fab thing is that you can get the camper level and legs down in about 20 mins, another 10 mins to fling the camper up, and you can be drinking g&t within half an hour. Then you can leave the kids to play while you get on with the awning, or even leave it till the next day if it's raining.

    Just make sure you have a decent spirit level, one of the ones that shows it's level in both directions. The tiny little camping ones are a bit of a dead loss I think, we've got one of the ones that's about 2 foot long, and that makes it a lot easier.
