Soon to be Cali owner

LylePorter2017 · Jan 6, 2023

Hi all. Soon to be (hopefully) Cali owner here, heading out 'shopping' over the weekend after extensive research. Based in Dorking, Surrey and will primarily be using for domestic trips with my five year old daughter as well as visiting family in Spain and Italy. Excited to get cracking! Cheers, Ben

Hi Ben,

Good luck with your shopping!

We're just down the road from you in Cranleigh. We took delivery of ours in November. You won't regret it!

Finally got her and spent a day in the rain figuring out how it all works! Imagine I’ve figured out about 1% so far

Looking good

If it's raining you'd be worth lowering one of the awning legs to allow the water to run-off... :thumb

Welcome - might see you around, we're down the road near Redhill, it will be like looking in the mirror, we're the same two-tone with 'silver' awning (white really).

Also, if it’s a little windy, or you’re tempted to leave the wind out awning over night, it’s good to attach so-called storm straps so the wind doesn’t whip the awning up. I wouldn’t actually deploy in a storm though ! About £20 in the club shop.

Fab, thank you. Only out momentarily today, although did struggle to get it back in initially but fine once I lowered the legs further.
