Hello All,
We are just back from the Bristol ballon fiesta. This was our first "funster" meet, we were a little apprehensive, but all was fine, and we met some lovely people.
One of the people we met was "silkcut1105" Stuart, who helped us out with the fridge settings for gas on our 1997 Sundance 500. This was our first time without a "hookup" and yes, we did mess up.
In general convesation, Stuart mentioned our newly aquired "Wind Blocker" awning suround, and suggested that rather than peg the bottom of the "WB" with tent pegs we might try using lenghths of bamboo canes through the loops on the bottom of the "WB"
So, fresh back from the rally l was thinking of what Stuart had said. l had some electical plastic conduit in the garage that l thought might do the job, to this end l cut the three lenghths to size, one for the front and one for either side. l then cut each one in half and inserted a short length of metal tubing into one half of each. l glued this in place with epoxy resin, the reason for cutting each side in half was for ease of transportation. l then drilled holes in each piece for the tent pegs.
l have uploaded a photo of the sections so as you can see what is what. l hope this might help.
Regards,
John
