I don't have a Jawa brand camper trailer, but pretty much all hybrids are the same, fundamentally, and this awning set-up video is the best I've seen. We've just sold one hybrid and have another on order and were tossing up whether to stick with the supplied awning or go for some aftermarket wing thing. You've convinced us to stick with the supplied awning and if we encounter a problem down the track we can always change it later. Well done guys, keep these type of videos coming.
Cheers guys! Just last night we got completely unforecast and unrelenting winds out of Exmouth, consistent gusts up to I’d say 60km/h, starting at 2am! I knew if I pulled the ground pegs that it would more than likely wrap over the top of the van, so just grit my teeth and hoped for the best….. the bloody thing didn’t move even though it copped 6 hours of it
We tossed up this awning or the 270 for our Jawa. I like the standard awning as it’s a one person job and reasonably quick to pack up if the weather suddenly turns. But we ended up going for the 270 purely for the amount of protection from the front (fridge) all the way to the back which is handy for the Ziggy and also cover for the fold out bed. Heaps of cover from tip to toe for us but it’s purely horses for courses. Another great video from you two, I always watch em😊
Great video (as usual). Is there any way you could adapt the winding handle which extends the awning so that it can be extended using your electric drill? I use my drill on my winches on my camper trailer - just saves a bit of time.
I have thought of it mate, but I’ve stuffed a few mechanisms in my time using drills when they are designed for hand use (coffee grinder, stabiliser legs etc)
How appropriate. Maiden trip with our new hybrid this Anzac weekend. Sorry not a Jawa. 4 days at Cobdogla. Awning much the same thanks for the tips. Cannot understand how Mavo didn't get a gratuitous 10 secands holding a random pole for you! 😊
Great video, our awning (SWAG hybrid), is pretty much identical. I use the same pegs, have found they are really good, only time I have had issues is when the ground is fairly saturated, and they pull out. Otherwise they are great. Have you figured out a way you can clean the vinyl on the top of the awning? I used our anti flap kit once, needed a bottle of whisky to recover! I’ve found the curved rafter alone is sufficient to prevent pooling. I only realised the importance of the rafter during a trip to the Old Grafton Road, we had a sudden heavy downpour, the awning nearly collapsed.
Great tips. Does the middle curved bar come with the Jawa? Do you know if you can buy those anywhere? We're looking at curved bars now and like that style much better
Hey! Yeah they do come standard with the Jawa as they are for the annex setup. They’re Supapeg branded, so definitely think you could source them. They are really good and don’t need any brackets or latches to secure them into place
Hi Guys - we don't have a jawa but similar awning. May I ask what brand your anti-flap kit is as it's different to ours and tbh looks alittle more hardy .....
Hi, I’m curious what brand of box awning you have. It looks very similar to my Fiamma 45S The fiamma awnings, like any other box type awnings are rubbish in my opinion and the anti flap kit on ours is useless. It doesn’t attach with a metal bracket and pin as does your one , but merely sits on a plastic grooved piece and cheap plastic bracket on the van end, it’s useless. I’m so disappointed on a $150k hybrid and we have this rubbish fiamma f45s awning fitted. So please tell me what brand awning you have, I’d like to maybe adapt your anti flap kit to suit my fiamma awning. Thanks.
Hi, it’s a generic copy of a fiamma, just a standard offering from factory that is standard on the Jawa. As I said in the vid, 18 months and 1.5 laps and we’ve only had one issue where a leg collapsed under heavy rain (when we’re away from the van), and I didn’t have it setup properly

That was really helpful. Love your informational videos. Thanks guys
Always get problems clamping mine in lol .also had a water bulge near the door because I didn't slope it nice cold shower.
Great vid for newbies.
I’m from Margs and holiday in Esperance January school holidays, Kalbarri Sept/Oct school holidays. Love the vids. Especially the local merch 😂😂😂
I’m a sucker for merch and breweries!
Great vid looks like Exmouth
Sure is!

Mavo says she appreciates you watching even when she’s on camera duties. We’ve been snorkeling all day, so she’ll be the star of these vids

I have a Thule awning (similar style). Worst awning ever. Roll out awnings are by far the best, especially when a storm hits.
Hi guys. Where were you parked up when doing this video ? Ps, enjoying the content😊
At the Exmouth RAC
They break very easy especially the plastic pin that holds the leg to the pin .
Yer can't say I'm a fan of a winder awning, austrack electric👌
After speaking to many with electric awnings, I’m happy to have winder. Another motor not to breakdown

Thanks for the reply. Do you know who makes the anti flap kit? It’s different to the one that Fiamma use. And looks better.
