#maypolepoleawningrailprotector #caravanningUKComunity In this video we take a look at the Maypole awning rail protector and then install it on our caravan
lost weekends caravan Thanks Phil &Juliet in principle it should work fine but only time will tell, oddly enough not many caravans at the storage site had these on, on a completely unrelated note any thoughts on caravan covers as we're toying with the idea of getting one. As ever thanks for your continuing support. Cheers Jon and Karen
Hi Jon. Not many vans on our site have them either. I would look at Pro-Tec Covers Cover! I have seen them made at the Factory when I filmed there. They are very well made and do not sweat so this should reduce condensation. The off the shelf ones seem a little thin. Hope this helps. Phil😀👍
Good vlog guys 👍🏻😎👍🏻. A tip for u 🤔. After a lot of finding the right awning rail protector that looked nice we also went for the maypole one. Tried the yellow one and the grey material one but they stuck out like a sore thumb. But I found the maypole one when on went really wrinkly and looked bad too so I took it of and cut the width down by half with a Stanley knife and now looks so discreet and smart as I leave it on the non door side all the time
Thanks for the kind comment and tip, that's something I'll check out next time we visit the caravan, i must admit i struggle to get it on the non door side i think the awning channel was narrower. Thanks Jon & Karen
Hi Phil. It still works fine cutting it down. I’ve left mine about 5mm sticking out and works great. Your not going to stop all black streaks as the rain comes sideways these days too. It looks so much tidier than the wavy effect if you don’t. Hope this helps 👍🏻👍🏻😎
HI Jon and Karen. Great film. I hope you like this product we have it and it seems to work ok. Thanks putting this out. Phil and Juliet 👍👍😀

Cutting it down sounds like a good idea but does it still do the job. Ours sticks out like sore thumb. Phil 😀

Shadowz Shadowz yes mate it all makes perfect sense to me. Thanks dude😀👍
How many mm is the awning rail channel?
squirt wd40 into the rail first and it glides all the way
CJ W never thought of doing that, thanks for the tip
