Thank you for this video. We just got our first awning and I'll be putting it up and taking it down by myself most of the time and I was SO CONFUSED as to how I could do it. You've made it look so easy! Up and down in less time than we sorta managed to get it up on our first attempt. Thank you!

You are the reason why I bought me an awning last week mate. Simple, no fuss tips that let you enjoy not only the product but also what I can do from here on in. Deciding on whether a rooftop tent next or a swag. Keep the vids coming mate. Appreciated

Great set up and great information for people mate I'm missing your 4x4 videos going up Hills

[stavio]

That helped me out heaps, gonna try it by myself. You made it look too easy mate.

I reckon as a boy scout, you should know to wrap yout guide ropes arount the pole before you attach it to the spigot to take the direct pressure off the spigot.

[craigwillis]

Great video. I'm getting on in years and trying to simplify right down. What do you think of the spring loaded pull out awnings? Am currently driving Subaru Outback. Wife and I camped around Oz in the 1970s in a sedan. She now uses a walker so can't help, but we still want to get outdoors, mostly for day trips but can't cope with the sun. Cheers Lawrie.

Hi, what size awning is that in your video? I've just bought a Subaru Crosstrek and was advised to buy a 2m long awning because a 2.5m long awning would be too difficult for me to roll up by myself (solo female traveller). But your video made it look easy enough.

[stavio]

Hi Tim, I was wondering is you could give us some tips on awning care? Especially the awning cover as that sits out in the sun all year round. Is there some solution or wax etc that can be applied to prevent it from cracking over the years. Cheers.

G'day Tim, whoever dreamt up these awnings was definitely onto something, much variety in quality though.Do you find water trying to gather and make the whole thing sag in the middle with a good downpour?I tend to leave one pole shorter than the other, to encourage the water to go away.
I can't hear any zippers rattle or poles move for the racket my Land Rover makes mate🤣🤣🤣

[Phil_McAvity]

Any reason why you don’t use a 270* awning? I go rid of my side awning as I rarely used it. Now I’ve the 270* I use it all the time.

G'day fellas, I have a question, totally off-topic (anyone may answer); first some info: I have the 1990 SWB LandCruiser (70-series), 5 cyl., manual diesel - gorgeous little truck! - without a snorkel.

I hear everyone raving about them, and have thought many times about installing one; but a seemingly odd experience tells me I might not need one; and I was hoping someone could

When I was up north in the Wet of '95, we came to the Fitzroy River in a ripper of a flood, and our vehicle (fully-laden Cruiser, towing an equally fully-laden off-road Jayco) was the last let through by the local constabulary before they closed the bridge. The water was high, but not unsafe ... but as we crossed, the water was rising rapidly, and it came WELL over the bonnet, almost half way up the windows; but, though it certainly felt a bit hairy, we didn't have a problem -- at all. Obviously the sheer weight of the combined vehicle and all the gear therein kept the rubber on the road ... but what about the engine? ... because to this day, the ol' Cruiser is still running like a dream on her original engine.

What I know about diesel engineering wouldn't fill the back of a postage-stamp, so I've asked plenty of mechanics over the years, including Toyota's own diesel mechanics, and it's plain they just don't believe the story .... but it happened, so one is naturally quite perplexed!

Without a snorkel, how is it even possible? Did we just get a lucky air-pocket? Or doesn't that model actually need one, and if not, how is _that_ possible?

Thank you in advance, and Happy Australia Day!

PS: Great video (and that's a bonza awning -- I want one!).
