Seems like a silly question.....however!!
I have purchase and installed a Tigerz 11 awning on the caravan and have had a chance to set it up by myself only once.
I find myself struggling to manage the setup with polls swinging everywhere.....
So does anyone have any tips or tricks to setting these things up without looking like a D!ck?
Currently I do the following..
1. unzip and roll out awning
2. look suprised as awning end polls drop down hitting you in the face....
3. juggle awning end on head while trying to set polls heights
3.1 awning falls off head and hits caravan
3.2 polls drop to ground with awning...
4. Pick up and try again.
5. Drape awning over head like a ghost and extend / lock height for both end polls.
6. Stretch out in a "Saturday Night Fever" move and reach for the awning horizontal polls in the awning mounting on caravan while still holding the awning end.
7. pull out horizontal poll and let it swing hitting you in the face (again)
8. stretch awning back out and place horizontal poll into awning end.
9. try to get back for remaining horizontal poll and let awning swing down hitting you in the back.
10. put back into position and use step 6 to reach other awning mount point poll.
11. connect final horizontal poll together to awning end.
12. Hold as many pieces as possible and say a prayer to St Anthony for this thing to stay up
12. Let go to pieces and run away!!
13. Watch in amazement as it stays up
14. Done!
15. now move onto wall setup....
Does that sound right?
