Hmmmm....
£24.99!
I already have a stopper in the channel to position the awning correctly. I have an old awning skirt with kador strip. Somewhere hiding in the garage I know there is a suitable pulley. Would a kite flyer have trouble finding some suitable cord?
I feel a home made jobby coming on!

Just noticed something on the video - who puts their awning up before they have wound down the legs?

Seems like a lot messing about to me I like the Pirates idea you just plug it in stand back and watch it inflate

You still have to get the top of the awning in to the awning rail (it's an inflatable awning in the video).

We've all seen advertising videos which make some task look incredibly easy and then when you buy one of them it doesn't work nearly as well as they portray. I was therefore wondering how well this device would work.
Our caravan doesn't have a place half way up the front awning channel to feed in the awning's kador strip so it has to be fed in from the bottom which makes it more difficult. I attempted to put the awning up on my own. So how did the device perform?
It works! It was actually easier than trying to do it with another person because doing it all myself I had the feeding and pulling exactly co-ordinated. It was probably the quickest I've ever managed to get the awning fully slotted in to the rail.
A big thank you to Dave for the original post!
