[QUOTE="Mrs Chutney, post: 615177, member: 20619"] I was wondering the same and thought I would go down the magnet route, you can get a 25mm long rod magnet that has a 3.6kg pull. So the plan is to put a few of them in the material of the awning entrance and tuck it into the gutter, they may blow off in high winds, but I've used slightly weaker magnets to keep the curtain closed inside the van, and even through the material of the curtains and the blackout lining they still need a good tug to pull off. It's all theory as my wan is in for welding at the moment. https://www.first4magnets.com/cylindrical-rod-c39/8mm-dia-x-25mm-long-n42-neodymium-magnet-3-1kg-pull-p8169#ps_1-8406 [/QUOTE]
