Having just bought a drive away awning, I did a quick set up on my drive and all looked fine.
First pitch up on site and a small set back....when the door is opened, it rubs against the connecting 'tunnel' roof. My Autotrail has quite a high door and I think any constant rubbing will quickly ruin the material.
The only thing I can think of is to fix a small square(24"x 24") of material hanging down from the connecting strip, so that when the door is opened, this will take the strain away from the awning roof. The door would lift the square up and out of the way.
Of course the easiest thing to do is not connect awning to van, which is what we did for the last 2 weeks, but connected is better in bad weather.
Taking it back is not really on as the skirt around the bottom is mud stained and there is nothing wrong with the awning.
Well that's got that off my chest...wife said 'ask on the club site...someone might have a suggestion that you haven't thought of'.
