Good vid, we've had one of these for a few seasons now, having tried a few different shade options. Brilliant bit of kit. I would recommend sliding into the awning rail first, then inserting the fibre poles. Takes less than 5 mins to erect once you know how. Never figured out how to attach the side walls using the parts supplied - still a mystery!

Getting some great shots of your van in this video. Have you lowered it? If so what did you use and what are those wheels? Find it improved the ride/both loaded and unloaded? Van looks awesome

Great video, just a tip from a seasoned camper & professional! try not to walk over the canopy whilst on the ground. It will, without you knowing, pierce it and allow water intrusion caused by your weight onto a ground based sharp! Every day is a learning curve. Hope the advice is taken in the way its been offered. Incidentally I would have had this on a 6 berth motorhome rather than the wind out thule, which are good for sun but useless in rain and should never be left unattended.

Love this video, in fact it inspired us to make our own sun canopy video too, come give it a watch!! Subscribed and looking forward to more videos.

Thanks for nice review! A have read somewhere, that there is a problem even with little wind because of dome construction of this canopy. Have you notice this? Thanks so much

Nice piece of kit. Your van exterior is so similar to our VW Coast. Keep up the good work. :)

If on your own, could you attach to the van and then fits the poles?

Just noticed we have same one. Great bit of kit, packs away nicely and easy to stow. I just about managed to put it up on my own with a cast on my lower leg so very easy to use.

Did it only take 15 minutes to put up ?

Excellent idea.  
The T rail on the Off side of the Callie is bigger than the usual Kador strip and I know that Brandrup (in their water carrier) use two sizes of kador to achieve a good fit in the rail. How do you connect to the accessory rail? Also can the item be used or adapted to work with the kador rail in the wind out awning allowing for an extension to it OR to be used as an awning when rain is threatening as the Callie awning does collect rain and would only need to be partially extended to access the kador rail. 
I'd be tempted to try making a smaller version that just shades the window at the sink/cooker so that the window can be shaded or used as a rain hood (Brandrups version is 65 Euro)
