I have been looking at the awning that came with my T25 and of course it has no assembly instructions! I like to think that it will be straightforward to put up and instructions are something that I can ignore in a manly fashion, however i have a feeling this may not be the case. I have had a look online but cant find any instructions floating about so I was wondering if any of you lovely 08-90ers could point me in the right direction. The awning in question is an Easy camp venice 200.
Unfortunately I cant do a dry run in the garden as I don't have one big enough so Im going to have to "do it live" when I arrive at a camp-sight which could prove embarrassing
Is there nowhere you can pitch up to have a practice? Local park? Playing field? Rugby club? Until you get everything out and have a go I'm at a bit of a loss to help any further. I'm just hoping that the emphasis is on the "Easy"part of the name.
Don't argue with idiots. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Thanks for the replays guys, I think I will make use of my uni football field and try a practice pitch there. Those pictures will hopefully be enough to get me through.
It's all part of the fun mate! But if you do end up in a pickle please do take the time to take pics and post them up!!!!
Generally the 'fun' bit is how to fix to the van - there are a number of methods some use the gutter, some require an awning rail, some use various clamps, lashings etc...many awnings have the ability to be attached by more than one method so don't be surprised if you have a few bits left over!
Oh and watch how far forward you pitch it - it's a fine balance between being able to open the front door (should you so wish) and the sliding door going flying into the 'joining' bit thereby ripping the fabric!

Thanks for the info LeeME3 unfortunately I have run out of time to go for the trial run before my first camping trip tomorrow, so if I'm feeling brave enought I will attempt to put it up in site.
When I do manage to get a bit of time I will photograph the process and post it up, hopefully it will be of use to others on the forum.
