hi its an auto sleeper pop topGandalf wrote:Fiamma F35 Pro for me with the tie down accessory. It stays up (oooeerr) all night unless very windy! What type of roof have you got? If you have a pop top its a little more difficult attaching something like the Fiamma Caravanstore awning.
Red Westie - you can get a rafter bar to put a pitch in the awning so the rain runs off (about £15 from memory) but I do the same as you and put the legs at different heights.

I got it wrong. One is the old style that wraps over the folding arms and the other is a new style that fits in the slot on the front boxGandalf wrote:Cruz wrote:I have seen yellow and black straps. One seems to fit to the front the other seems to go around the folding arms.
Which is the one to get?
I think they are both the same Cruz - just different colours.

Re: wind out awnings
The rafter bar as you put it turns one single awning sheet into two seperate sections, both catching the rain....I've tried one. The only real way to gaurantee the awning doesn't catch rain and form a heavy puddle, is to slope one leg or lower both. I've tried all ways.
As for special tie downs...a guy rope tied to the top of each leg and set at 45 degrees does the trick. I also have a cheap £5 strap I bought from a tack shop that I position centrally over the awning when it gets windy.
