How to pitch

Bump

sorry meant time to put one up and why do it, and the surprise from BB's post

Back to earlier mention of position on the peg. This is a guide to ensure fire break distances. You can go across the pitch if it fits your needs better.

At 3.6m depth that awning is going to be be bigger than a family would realistically need and as mentioned take a long time to set up.

We could get a full pitch and set-up including a 5.5 x 3m awning down to about 45/50 minutes with the two of us working like a well oiled machine after years of practice.

I'm not sure you can automatically go across the pitch on club sites. I've not seen this since the 'peg' system was introduced. It is normally nose in or reverse in.

You may be able to do that but you would have to ask the warden's permission first as it may breach the 6/3 m rule.

Across the pitch would need the warden's permission, EM. It maybe allowed for you because you have a compact van but that wouldn't be the case for many.

With my last caravan, I inherited a 2.5m deep full awning. After the porch awning I had been used to it was cavernous. I just didn't need that much space so I sold it and went back to the porch awning. Even that took me about forty minutes to do a complete set-up whilst OH prepared the vittles.

love it....👍

Actually there are people who will put up your awning for you. I recall seeing two adverts for this in two information rooms.

     You must realise that different people have a different criteria to their holiday. They may like to lounge in their Awnings and find it no hardship to erect them for the reward they get. Those same people will visit places father a field than you may cycle to and sit in the awning while it rains watching cyclists get wet. Your way is the right way for you not everyone, as they will have their way also.

if i was you i would buy a air awning with a kampa awning pully you can pull any size awning one handed with the pully once on put 12 volt pump on set it at correct psi go and do water and electric then just peg it down job done no arguing with the better half as you do it solo
