Awning Poles

[romanyrose]

G'day chap's, after unloading my caravan that is or was loaded with trinkets from the pit i thought it was time for a look at the fitting of my awning poles so rather than just look at the paper work i went back to the forum to see how it has been done by the chap that has just fitted his .

I think i spent more time looking at what i had bought and trying to cope with my wondering mind due to me working in old measurements it looks like i might have to move a couple of lights along with a work light but i think i will wait till after my MOT .

However like a child at Christmas i am a tad impatient wanting to play with his new toys and knowing Robin will be contacting me later in the week is probably holding me back which is a good thing because i am slow in fact very slow .

My job today well i don't give in easy but with a brew in my hand and a ruler in the other i am going to see if i can crack these foreign measurements just to see what i can do and maybe make a few pencil marks

Catch you later. R-Rose with a brain that complicates everything .

Hi Brad,

I've converted the fitting instructions to old money measurements for you, and sent them in an email to Jaynie's address.

Cheers,
Robin.

measure twice cut once also if it doesn't sound / look right ask LOL

Robin was very helpful with a couple of queries

[romanyrose]

G'day Robin, thanks for the measurements it is appreciated but i could not get in her office because she is at work so it was a case of offering up the end section to give me an idea of what i have to move .

I have extra lights at each corner up top incase the lead ever pulled out while towing a work light in the center and to top it off there is internal lights with a small fan in the corner to keep my St Bernard cool for when it get's a tad warm inside.

Giving myself a challenge yep! that is normally the case and i never make anything easy for myself but when it is fitted i will have beaten the one thing in life that has a habit of trying to beat me and that's just plain old numbers to some but confusion to me .

With Janie back from work she had an idea of me going shopping with her but now back from shopping and had a bit of tucker she has gone to rest her head after i really but having said that i have myself so tomorrow is another day to read proper measurements that sort of ring a bell if nothing else .

Catch you later. R-Rose

must admit my work light got evicted and also my rear interior light. Is your roof lined or not as mine is a safari roof and I found head lining got in the way and also the alpine window meant one of the supports had to be moved forward as I can't seem to drill glass without braking it :)

G'day matey, everything you mentioned i have but i won't be beaten where there is a will there is a way i also have the patience of a saint because anything i do or at least try to is far from standard.

I can master just about anything with pictures and measurements combined but measurements along with writing is out of my league i am afraid however after bothering Robin in a couple of days he is going to do the above to help me out unless anyone comes forward of course .

Catch you later. R-Rose .

I can post more pictures of mine if it helps

[romanyrose]

G'day matey, if it is in feet and inches and the measurements shown on a picture that would be great please and save Robin but to help you understand my situation it is not that i am thick i just lost the understanding and reasoning part of my brain many moons ago when i was very ill which Robin is well aware of.

The offer of your help is really appreciated . Catch you later Brad

sorry been away with very little internet the last 2 weeks. did you manage to get sorted?

[romanyrose]

G'day matey, yes Robin has sorted me thanks with the picture/measurements of how it fit's a normal top but i have yet to put it ni practice against my roof that has all the differences that from what i gather yours has .

Having spent TWO days fitting a seal in my front diff then replacing the prop shaft then wondering why she was still wondering with the steering when driving only to discover the arm on the bottom of the steering relay was very loose wobbling all over but that was my fault having pushed myself to much but then looking at the threads in the nut it is now in the bin along with the bolt.

I can now take my time because the dead line i set myself for the show has gone so i am back to just tinkering but my truck is at last on the road .

Catch you later. R-Rose
