So Shane and I had round 2 with setting up our caravan and awning. Last time it took more than 2 hours and we were totally spewing about it, 2 hours is way too long.
We actually looked into purchasing a quick set up wind out awning, but after thinking about it for a short time we decided it was too expensive and not worth it.
Shane did some homework and called the company that makes our style awning/annexe (Aussie Traveller) and Shane actually found out our awning/annex is great quality and is made from a really durable material, so that was great news for us and we were very happy to hear that. After finding that out, Shane checked out WONDERFUL google and found a clip on you tube that shows how to set up our exact awning (ours is just bigger), it took the man in the clip only 3 minutes to set up the awning (not including the annexe), only 3 short minutes. My golly gosh, it took Shane over 1 1/2 hours to set up the awning last week.
Oh another thing Shane worked out by watching the clip was that he had the awning poles in the wrong way, that is why they weren't staying up properly!......What a Nutter!
Well, it was round 2...Shane and Dimi versus the awning and annexe, Hehe!
This time we followed the directions on the you tube clip and set it up step by step referring back to the clip. To our complete AMAZEMENT we had the awning set up in an awesome and very short 15 minutes, and the annexe only took us about 11 short minutes....
We were sooooo impressed with ourselves we just kept giving each other a High five, we felt invincible, Hahaha!
We are so wrapped it only took us a short 26 minutes on our second round, we even think we can improve on that time, YAY for google and you tube!
Oh and round 2 goes to Shane and Dimi, WOOOHOOOOOOOO :-)
Check it out...
Have a good one and Take care,
Dimi xoxox
