    Very useful. Where did you get awning rail from. I've only seen metal ones & you have to join them

    Can't find that available now what you used. It's the one piece & thin which I like

      Yes a few people have contacted me to ask if there is anywhere else to get one but I think they must have stopped making it.

    And? Did it stay on your van during wind and Rain?

      It stayed on all the time I had the van and I presume it’s still ok

    Did you do this to caddy maxi and the link is out of stock any clue where else ? Also what size is the channel ?

    • @FootstepsTyretracks
      @FootstepsTyretracks  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I did it to a std caddy not a maxi however the rail would be long enough for a maxi as I had to cut it down. I had a search for "Keder rail for VW Caddy. I can't remember the channel size but I think I still have the off cut in my garage so i will check.

      You could certainly bond an awning rail to a hightop and I know of a few that have been done just make sure the area you are bonding to is clean.

      I have done 3 camp outs since bonding with me sicaflex and it still seems to be ok I have another weekend away this coming weekend and the weather looks like it might be quite bad so this could be the real test.
