Windbreaks (1 Viewer)

Hi,

I found a windbreak last year but never bought it but cannot track it down. Basically it was expensive around 125.00 . features were it used the uprights of the wind out awning linking back to securing to the side of the van and the full length between the two awning uprights. Does anyone know what it was or where i could find? I found a panel screen version but it was crazy at 179.00 and really designed for patio install domestically rather than touring but could adapt but too rich fo me for what it is.

Not sure if any of these are any good?

These have an awning rail attachment

As do these:-


Jormax are a good make, but I’m not sure if they do the awning rail attachments....

I understand that you want to use the roll-out uprights instead of the windbreak poles, then fix the ends of the windbreak to the van, so you end up with a windbreak around the space under the roll-out. However all you would save is using the windbreak poles. That would reduce your flexibility as you would have to leave the awning out ( even if a wind got up, it would take longer to roll it in). Why not get a normal or similar and arrange the poles so it goes just outside the perimeter, with 2 close to the van, and maybe add a skirt. You would still have the same arrangement but have a choice on using the awning, and be able to drive away.

Thanks Lisa/Chysalis,

Will look into these. Jomax has a great range. Like the Towsure so working both ways in keeping the wind break independent if needed as Chrysalis suggests.

Thanks again

The one you were talking about in the op sounds like the Thule windscreen. Secured to the MH using awning foot plates or caravan style channel and the pull out end attaches to the awning leg.

Great looking and easy to use, but as said above, quite restrictive in use.

Hi Zigisla,

Yes that's it. Will need to ponder over the practicality over drive away elements . Thanks for the link.

@SRS We looked at them, but the snags we had were that if the wind direction either changes, or is different from site to site, you will have to have two of the clips - one on each end of the MH. Also for us, we dont have anywhere to fit the clips, as the rear bumper wraps around the body, so wouldn't leave the side flat and to move it in would be against the garage door and the same with the front, either wrap around or on gas locker. Apart from that and the price, we would have them. Instead we opted for the Jormax ones with the only disadvantage is that you have to be on reasonably soft ground to bang them in. As we now rarely use sites, we dont really use either and the jormax is now left at home unless we go to the New Forest sites.
