PVC Flexible Awning Channel

Richard, we looked at a Knaus Sport recently and that does not have an awning track on "the other side", so I'm guessing this is not all that unusual.

With most vans now using a bonded aluminium side wall construction can't you simply fix a length of awning track to the side of the van to accept the towing cover.

I've fixed a length to two previous vans using stainless screws and Sikaflex to support a Fiamma Caravanstore awning that was left on 365 days a year. If the fixing will hold up to this it is easily capable of coping with a towing cover.

Why not a length of this to cover 90% of the length and a sucker to hold the bit where you cannot bend the profile as required.

Or if you do not mind a bit of work, draw the shape of the curve you want onto a sheet of plywood and slowly bend and screw into place the profile, remove and then fix to van.

Hi Colin

Thank you for your quick reply. I guess you mean bending a piece of aluminium track on a piece of plywood using screws and using a template of the curve from the caravan ? If the aluminium will bend then yes that would do the job? What say you!
