First outing in our brand new campervan (Westfalia 540 pvc) - everything working like a dream. Then my stupidity strikes.
Despite reading lots of awning horror stories on this forum, I chose to leave the awning out overnight, partly because we were in a well sheltered spot and the weather was as calm as you can imagine. That night, cue the world's worst storm above my van - at least that is how it seems - and one broken awning pole. I presume I can replace the pole (Thule Omnistar).
The challenge is to get it fixed in less than 2 1/2 weeks as we are off to France.
What a wally - didn't even last a single night... Lots of sympathy required. No need to tell me I'm a wally - that I already know.
