We have a Rapido Pop-up Evolution Club 32T caravan, made in 2000, which came to us with an awning. While we're not planning to use this awning too often, we need to know how (if!) it works before the dealer's warranty expires next month.
The awning comes in two bags, one labelled with the right name and model for our 'van, so I'm pretty sure it'll be the right fit.
But of course no instructions!
The frames look to be either carbon fibre or maybe fibre glass, which is good. Some plastic joints are labelled Campion, made in Denmark.
I've assembled the frame so far, without the cover. I didn't fit it to the 'van, as I was working alone and could see it might well scratch if I got it wrong, but what I created looked the right size, used all the bits, and I think it would stand up. But I'm still not sure if I got it right, there are two diagonal clamp-on supports which could happily fit in more than one position.

Please has anybody either experience or better still pictures of such an awning in use? Gold dust would be a pic. of just the frame! I know Rapidos are now relatively rare, and I am also asking the Rapido & SIlver Club the same question. I guess that Silver/Trigano pop-tops may possibly have the same awning.

Thanks,

Richard
