Hi all

First time I've posted on this forum so apologise in advance if I sound a bit daft - bit new at all this - first caravan and first awning!!

I have a Swift Challenger with a Trio Sport Flamenco awning (both second hand) - Caravan fine everything works as it should do but I am having a bit of bother with the awning.

Couldn't work out how all the poles seem to go together - something seemed not quite right - finally sussed it today - I seem to be missing two ball joint for the centre and left side joing pieces (sorry if the lingo is wrong).

I have been able to get new ones - made sure I got the right size - might seem like a silly question but how do I attach them to the respective poles? Just drop them down the tube so that the attached screw pokes out the end of the pole?

Hope someone can let me know

Thanx.

The answer is yes - as far as I can remember - drop the joint down the tube threaded end first, then screw the jointing piece on - have fun getting it tight :stars:






Hugh... look a bit closer at your awning poles at how the plastic joint is attached to the cross pole i.e. the one that goes to the side of the caravan :yes:
