    Never realised watching someone put up an awning could be so entertaining 😂

    Looks fun putting that awning up 🤬 well Claire thought so because she didn’t stop laughing, and what an evil laugh too. Quiet little town and lovely beach, poor Pablo he looked very sad not being allowed on the beach until autumn . Thanks for sharing ,take care 🚐👍

    loved the "Sutton nothing to see" punchline at the end with a great video before it. I was thinking of getting an awning for Viv-i-van but after seeing your struggles, Andy, I'm having second thoughts. Awnings should be like Flash's ring only instead of his suit popping out, a fully errected awning should appear. deffo a good idea to have an awning rail, that way us vivaro owners can bimble off in the van and come back and our awnings are then in the next field- true story, that happened in our motorhome as we watched our 700 quid awning fly south for the winter. I'm loving catching up on your channel videos.... only another 2.5 months worth to go ( not counting the new ones I already commented on 🤣) Keep up the good work and deffo, It would be brilliant to say hello in person one of these days. Love and respect to you all- Kenny

      Hi. We enjoyed Sutton, fab long beach but literally not much to see!!!
      Our awning is stressful and we have only used it 3 times and each time it was a drafty, flappy nuisance!! 😂😂
      Happy travels 🚐

    I've got same awning as you. Got it because it's much lighter than air awning.
    But I'm on my own (my wife passed away 2yrs ago)
    Found it very difficult to thread poles through on my own.
    So I've cut the elastic & tied knot. The poles going through awning are a separate section & 2vside ares are separate with elbows. Much easier to thread through & pull out when taking down. Actually it doesn't really need any elastic inside.
    Also I've glued on awning rail & bought drive away kit.. You don't need to screw them on. Sikaflex, think it's 522 is.
    very strong.
    I still use the straps that throw over van though. As they stop it sliding in heavy winds. But I throw the front one over & fix it towards rear of van. & rear strap towards front of van. That way you can open all doors easily
    Mine is Renault trafic which is same as yours. On roof there is a section that is raised both side of van. I've glued mine. On the back of that raised section. That way it's not seen.

      Hi David.
      Thank you for watching our video. We are truly sorry to hear about your wife, we love that you are out and about in your van 🚐
      We have used that awning about 5 times since we had it and it’s never up quite right 😜 it takes agggeeess to put up. Love these tips and we hope to get away this weekend so will attempt them 😂 ⛺️ watch this space 😊
      We wish you a great week

    Hi, well that has brightened up my friday, thought our sun canopy was bad to put up 😂.
    It is a special thing though how you kept a cool head well done you.
    Sutton nothing to see, guess its not going on our to visit list.
    PS well done for getting it back in the bag and Claire ever stop laughing.
    Paul and Jo 👍

      The funny thing is on that site everyone else had some really large intricate awnings and blow up wind breaker contraptions and we struggled with our easy guaranteed 8 minute awning!!! 😂😂
      Sutton was beautiful, but not much to sea at all 🌊 enjoy your weekend Paul and Jo

    We bought an awning for our van. Trial run in the garden. Went away to France/Spain and used it twice in a month. Too much agro, took up too much space. Sold it.

    • @Stchristopherofatlantis
      @Stchristopherofatlantis  Год назад

      Hey, we agree. Whoever said it takes 8 minutes to put up lives in a dream world… 😂 We have used ours about 5 times since we got it, maybe not even that 😂 ⛺️ The tent peg came in handy to open up a tin of corned beef but that’s it 😂

    Awnings suck - but can see the benefit with the size of St Chris.
    Was nice to see Pablo enjoying the beach.
    We hate it when the beaches ban fur babies we kind of understand why but at the same time can be restrictive.
    Another lovely little video, and Claire you made us laugh more than Andy did in this one 😂
    “Dirty old bird” very funny xx
