Good functional repair Phil, your friend was lucky damage was confined to the awning rail.

Wasn't he lucky ? Incidentally I'm a big advocate of WD40 Silicone 😃

I found that a gentle use of a wide flat head screwdriver and hammer to tap at the gap before using awning rail spreader worked well

Hi Ste. Good idea. I didn't use a screwdriver as I was concerned that I would damage the skin of the Van. Maybe I should have tried. Thanks Phil👍🙂

Hi Phil, Without it going to some specialist metal worker I think you did a good job there 👍. Probably some touch up or spray paint that closely matches might disguise it. Cheers Rob

Hi Rob, Thanks . I did my best with whats currently available. The tool its self works after a fashion but could be improved. I will suggest that he touches it up with paint. Thanks Phil. 👍🙂

Hello Phil, thanks for another how to fix video, I watched your video on waist pipe, and I was thinking of making my own waist pipe support’s from the awning rail, after watching this video I am now wondering what size will my awning rail be, 8mm or 10 mm ?, we have a Bailey unicorn 2017 , cheers Phil 👍👍.
@lostweekendscaravan Жыл бұрын
HI BB. 8mm piping will do fine get the 18 inch velcro straps you will have more adjustment. Thanks Phil👍🙂

@@lostweekendscaravan cheers Phil, I have seen on Amazon a roll of Velcro with separate buckles so that you can make up what ever length you need, so I may order some soon, 👍👍.

Hi, i also damaged my awning rail but mine seem to be peeling off the actual van and its also very very jaggie , can i replace a length of the awning rail easily. Thanks
@lostweekendscaravan Жыл бұрын
Hi Sounds quite a bad bit of damage. Unless you are very skilled. I would suggest getting an expert to repair it. It will need a new section added plus there may be damage to the outer skin as well. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching. Phil🙂👍
