www.attwoolls.c... This is a tutorial video on how to drive away and re-attach a drive-away awning. Follow this link for more information on this item This video has been filmed by us here at Attwoolls.
Your videos are extremely useful. Realise this is quite old video. And perhaps you've realised by now. Far better to peg drivers side for driving away I put peg in centre of wheel. When coming back. Don't need any assistance or keep getting out. Just stick your head out of window to get it perfect
Hi just a thought why don’t you mark the van position on the driver side that way if your on your own you can pop your head out of the window and see the markers as you re position Tony
Does the awning have to connect to the keder rails? Is there a way of having guide ropes for that tunnel that go over the roof of the van and peg to the opposite side? Seems way more logical than having to position the van so accurately...?
Thankyou , You make it look simple! We have A T5 and have just bought a Vango Galli air awning we bought a driveway kit. Do we attach the larger side of the strip to the Van ?
would say it would be better to pick up some (rolson) red / yellow webbing strap at the pound shop and mark out around all the wheels and extended back a few feet then you reserve your space on a pitch rather than come back with someone intruding your van space
Have received awning, now waiting for delivery of my campervan. Is there any reason why you can't put the wheel pegs and marker line on the driver's side, to make it easier to line up when approaching (and look out of the driver's door window to save dismounting to check alignment)?
I think the only reason he didn’t mark the offside wheels is because of the placement of the static camera? What about a mark on centre of bonnet and a hi viz ground stake just high enough to see from drivers seat
I am looking to buy a VW Caddymax, van in the Spring of 2020, primarily for my Pluming and Heating business, but I also want to go away camping in it at weekends, and I was thinking about a ;zip on/off driveaway awning, please can you recommend a suitable selection? cheers dx
David Waterhouse I would certainly recommend getting some kind of a rail fitted to your van (like a multi rail or ‘C’ rail) then you will be able to attach the awning in easily. As I doubt anybody will be sleeping in the van you’ll need an awning with plenty of space for living in, as well as to sleep a couple of people in (if not more). I think the Vango Galli would be a good option, or even the Kampa Touring VW.

What a pain in the arse, i'll stick with my tent. By the time you've played around with pegs, ropes and awning rails, i'd have parked up and be on my second beer!
@@koiman4221 Not just for if you want to nip to the shop tho is it? Its for when you want to go sight seeing....I for one don't want to stay on a camp site all week, I want to go off exploring?
