Hi all. We are very new Cali owners having only done a few trips with the kids and this half term as a first proper “holiday” in Devon and Cornwall in October. Most of our 5 day trip has been good, some learning but overall we were feeling pretty good.
Until this evening: we had the built in awning out raised upwards, not too much wind but it seems too much rain. As we were chilling in the van we heard a massive crash and the awning had collapsed presumably under the weight of the rain. Then when my wife and I tried to wind in, the left arm snapped and smashed into my wife’s head causing it to bleed. Cue a hospital trip to glue her head back and the site foreman helping me fix the awning for travel at least tomorrow. Annoying end to a few days and especially last day of the trip but all still happy in the face of adversity. Don’t point the awning up in rain!!
