Royal Traveller awning set up....

[RODEO]

Hi All
Just bought a s/hand awning as above. Had a trial set up ,but cant suss out where the metal poles go and how they attach! I presume they fit in such a way that the inner bedroom tent clips on to them .........Anyone?

There are a few metal poles. A gutter clamp, to fix the awning to the side of the van and two strengtheners (about 4 lengths together for each) which run the length of the awning roof, they fit into two pockets, pull apart and tighten screw to provide rigidity between poles. Inner tent just hooks into the loops.

Hope this makes sense..

OK Thanx..
I thought one pole would be the gutter pole ,altho' there are figure of 8 pieces also supplied.Should there be 2 gutter clamps ,one each end of the gutter pole?The poles with the rubber ends presumably fit into the pockets. Will have a look for the pockets....
Regards

It could be the plastic ended poles,with a kind of key/screw they slot together, I think, actually now I'm confused!! from memory there are three clamps as the flap has a gap in the centre. There are also some poles for opening the door flaps, with spikes on both ends, if your still struggling I will dig out and photograph, although when you lay them all out it should be fairly clear, each type are all slightly different.

Good luck

Ok Thanx.
TBH I had three females helping me try to put this up (oo er!) I thought by asking them I would be able to stand back and let them get on with it ,but they couldnt suss it either! With your info ,I reckon I will leave it until I actually use it for the first time .

is it this one you got? If so there are two extendable poles that go either side and they have flattened ends with black plastic tips. These fit in the pockets and you extend them to size then tighten the screw to hold them in place. You clip one side of the inner tent to the pole and the other side of inner tent should have small black plastic pegs attached that fit into some eyelets sewn into the roof of the awning.

There are two more poles with spiked ends that hold up the front canopy and another pole that is the gutter attachment. We dont use this gutter pole as we have the figure of eight attachment. Hope this helps

Great! I have exactly as you describe! Bit more confident now ,that it will work when we use it for the first time !
Thanks for the replies
