Well, I've had a look at the fabric.. and it's not good..
There is a 1mt tear along the roof line.. tape won't work.. nothing to tape together and torn along the roller at the opposite end.. I need a new awning canvas..
Everything else is ok.. which is most fortunate..
Hi Linda..
can you get one or have in stock ?
it's 8.5mt .. in Burgandy
cheers
Jim

Hi Jim
Sorry to hear that mate... If Linda hasn't got one there may be an alternative mate. The awning material fits into an awning channel on the upper side wall and also in the roller tube as you will know, so it should be possible to contact an awning repair shop and get them to sew a new awning cord onto each edge of your existing material. Obviously they would need to cut it to remove the damage but this will only shorten the extension by a couple of inches, so probably not to noticeable, and it would be a lot cheaper and possibly quicker too......
Just a thought matey

Wow Jim that sounds scary and a lucky escape. Is the awning fitted with grey travel locks?

Hi Geoff
Yes it was a lucky escape, it could have been much worse.. I shudder to think if it had hit a truck .. I've seen the damage caused when awnings being blown over the roof, I never leave mine up unattended or overnight..
The travel locks were definitely in place before we set off from Snelly's Meet.. it's a damn poor design
What puzzles me, the yanks claim companies for least excuse you would have thought that this problem would have been fixed years ago..

What a scary story! Glad you are all OK and hopefully the heart rate has returned to normal.
Does seem very bizarre that this happens and there has been no fix. I have not had chance to check out the 'cinch straps' that Linda mentioned, maybe they are the answer.
With regards to the replacement material, we spoke at the time I replaced mine. It is a relatively straight forward job (as long as you have about four people to help!) and Linda sorted it fairly quickly for me.

Chris
