I inherited an awning with my camper and as yet have not set it up. I thought I would take a quick look at it to see if I could see any identifying marks on it but with no success. Without having anywhere to set it up at the moment I took a couple of pics of it out of its bags.
Is there anyone out there that might (by pure chance) recognise this little bad boy.
The two poles with obtuse angled ends are front and back centre roof sections; the four poles with the rienforced angled section on the end are roof corner sections; the rest are 'suck it and see' sections and you'll have to experiment but sometimes the back of the awning is slighty lower than the front
Once you've assembled it, mark the corresponding pole ends with coloured tape for ease next time
E D I T: Sorry, I wrote "acute angled" when I meant 'obtuse angled'

It does way a ton and seems massive. I gotta try and find somewhere I can pull up and experiment with it before I use it for real. Just having a google session now to see if I can find one with red zips which looks something near the one I have got.
Poles are the the same as mine, I think the name traveller 3 rings a bell?
Does weigh a ton, but not too tricky to put up once youve had a go at it. It's attaching it to van that's tricky, always pulls the awning out of shape when I do it?
I've got one similar.
Took the wife and I a whole year of camping before we could do it without arguing.
Got a diagram of how it goes - could try and dig it out for you if you like...?
Mines got different coloured electrical tape on it to show which bit goes where - worth doing when you finally work it out.
