Hi there, looking for some help with setting up a porch awning. We are new to caravanning, we have a small 2-berth Adria Altea and I have recently bought a used Bradcot Portico Porch Awning. Tried setting awning it up on our van and we cannot fit the roof pole hooks to the brackets. I have downloaded 3 photos to help show the problem.
Photo 1 shows the short piece of piping that the brackets fit on. Can anyone confirm that this is ok, it is at a right angle to the main piping, I thought it would be underneath and parallel to the main piping.
Photo 2 shows the bracket fitted onto the short bit of piping. Does this look like the correct bracket.
Photo 3 shows how I have fitted the back upright pole eye to the roof pole hook but there is no way the hook will fit into the bracket slotted hole. Does this setup look ok or am I doing something wrong.
Lastly could anyone tell me what the brass eyelet is for on each end of the main piping, it can be seen on phot 3. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated, thank you, Alan Sherwood
