Fitted awning on a Kombi, what can it take weather wise?
I have just bought a awning for our kombi and it is awsome, but what can it take? The weather is realy windy at the moment and I am worried it will
get damaged by the wind. It looks a bit flimsy but I think it is designed to move around a bit. Should I put extra guy lines on it? When should I pull
it down? How water proof should they be and what can I do about it? Happy new year to you all
Ta
Philip

Here is a pic of ours, it is self supporting in light winds, but if the winds pick up I fit two poles at the ends and tie them down. As for water
proof, it keeps the rain off you but does pool up with a lot of rain then seeps through. Good for light showers tho.

guy ropes are good. if set up properly should last through anything. if you are afraid of the wet tie a silver tarp over the roof and it will make a
world of diffeence. they dont look any more flimsy then any of the tents that i have stayed in and a tent will survive anything, so you should be
right.
