Thanks everyone, @andy63 mine isn't like yours pal it has legs I was just worried if I didn't have the legs at right height it might be putting strain on side of van if that makes sense, or is there some movement in the mechanism?
haha Grant, you know how to hurt someone....Tell the truth Andy, it's a burger van you've got!

I have the front edge high enough so I don't bang my head so about 6'6" with a slope of 2-3 inches in case of rain. I use the support legs into brackets on the van wall as we have a dog who sometimes has to be on a running lead. Legs pegged down to the ground will have the lead wrapped round them.
The brackets are supplied by Fiamma and are a great improvement on having the legs on the ground, though oddly I don't think I've seen anyone else use them. Apologies for the mess in the pic.View attachment 67826
This is our regular pitch on our favourite site (Camping du Lion in Bourg-st-Andeol -ACSI). Most of what is in the picture is our pitch, we like a bit of space.

I use the van leg clips on mine if the ground is too hard for pegs (usually tarmac or concrete). I don't use the van clips all the time because I tend to walk into the arms .
In answer to the original question: set it any height you want as long as the legs take most of the weight. The top pivots (in the casing on the van) are sprung to allow you to set it where you want.

The problem is I can't wind it in even if I take all the weight off the shaft!! Gotta be something to do with the winder drive mechanism.When you've wound out your awning don't leave it unattended as a strong wind could cause serious damage
