[QUOTE="Dico, post: 537804, member: 21549"] Hi. Having heard great reports about the Vango drive away awning we decided to go and purchase one. The sales guy suggested we should try it against our van before we buy it as there had been issues with lowered vans. Sure enough it wasn't quite right. The mk 2 version has doors towards the van end, and these were quite baggy and spoilt it. This was the Kela Airbeam 11 Standard (the lower one of the two options). We were really gutted as it went up really quickly, and was a nice design. Has anyone had any success in adapting it in any way? I was thinking of using a thick piece of pvc panel along the guttering to raise it the required amount, held in place a the figure of eight piece on each end, but that may be a bit bodgie! The sales guy suggested throwing straps over to the other side and pegging it down, along with a couple of other ideas. But none of these would tighten the door area as far as I could see. Or, any alternatives that fit a lowered van, that are relatively easy to throw up? I think our is around 1.65 meters tall. Cheers all :) [/QUOTE]
