I would agree that once the awning is up it really is substantial but… We have the sun awning as well which uses the same poles and really looks good.

As I’ve said we’ve bought the Outdoor Revolution Movelite XL and will try it out shortly. I got it on Ebay – paid £112 inc post. Second hand prices e ebay are currently £100 – £140. But I did see one sell for £160.

These are the poles which keep the “back” wall of the awning upright and stiff, there should be a bungee cord attached which if correctly attached keeps the pole (and therefore the awning) tight against the trailer.

Hope this helps

Step 6
There should be two short poles left – slide these into the pockets on the flaps that come across the rear of the trailer (blocking the space under the bed) and bungee these in position – one end of the cord down the side towards the wheel-arch, the other across the back of the trailer.

Just spent a few days down in Somerset with our first outing this year in our Dandy Delta. We put up the full awning – we always struggle at point of the instructions and resort to gaffer tape!

However, point of my post is that we have bit the bullet and bought the Outdoor Revolution Movelite XL awning – we erected it in the garden today without the Dandy. Does anyone (Clive?) have any photos or advice on attaching it to the Dandy? Much obliged – my email address is pumps_100@yahoo.co.uk

Another tip to share is that we have had problems with squeaking/creaking bed – it was driving my wife crazy after our first night. The problem is simply movement the plywood against the retaining strips. I bought some WD40 and by going outside/under the bed using the small straw with the WD40 I just sprayed a ‘bead’ of the magic lotion along the strips and problem was resolved.
