some advice please [customline overnight awning]
« on: August 20, 2013, 06:45:11 PM »
Can any one give me some feedback on the customline overnight awning. I am debating if it is worth the money.
ie, if set up with the slope to the front for rain runoff is it then too low for head height. Does the rain run off appropriately given no spreader bars are intended for use in the set up.?
We envision only using this for overnight stays with the purpose of providing coverage over the kitchen in case of possible rain.

thanks.

I wanted our overnight awning just for the kitchen area, i.e. half the size of the current version. That was all too hard so we have the full width, time will tell if we cut it in half. We also got the zip fitted on the drawbar side the same as KingBilly.

We have the overnight awning.  Yes, it is low as it zips along at the top of the doors/windows but my daughter is over 6 foot and she doesn't complain about it being too low.

Hi All,

Can this be fitted as an aftermarket option.

Thanks

Gee, not sure.  PM Customline or rodswag.  I think the zip is fitted as standard to the kitchen side.  Definitely an option for the drawbar side.

Hi All,

For a quick overnight set up could you just get a half awning over kitchen which attaches to existing annexe zip.

I was planning to do exactly that with the overnight awning. In the end it is just as quick to fit the full overnight awning.

Is this leaving the awning on for pack up so it does not need to be re attached on set up? I am not the tallest guy around and find it a bit of a challenge to set up on my own.

Also if leaving on but not wanted how do you go with the tropical roof on.

It attaches where the red line is, not too high and you have to take it off when you pack up.

You can leave you standard awning on when packing up as well as the tropical roof.

I even through the kids room roof over as well, and it all folds up together.

You just need a high tonneau cover to go over it all.
