Hybrid Caravans- Setting up the Standard Awning: Tips & Hacks

It's a hot debate everywhere- are these standard box awnings on imported hybrid caravans any good? Do I need to spend thousands on upgrading? If so, which one do I get? The questions go on. In this video, we share our experience with standard awnings over approximately 18 months and 1 and a half laps of Australia. We have had our awnings up in all sorts of variable conditions, from winds to torrential rain, to just about whatever you can throw at it. We've found it really comes down to how well you set these things up and spend ing that little bit extra time on setup day, that gives you peace of mind for the whole camp duration. We step through our tips/hacks to ensure you have the best chance of getting good value from the standard awning.

I don't have a Jawa brand camper trailer, but pretty much all hybrids are the same, fundamentally, and this awning set-up video is the best I've seen. We've just sold one hybrid and have another on order and were tossing up whether to stick with the supplied awning or go for some aftermarket wing thing. You've convinced us to stick with the supplied awning and if we encounter a problem down the track we can always change it later. Well done guys, keep these type of videos coming.

We tossed up this awning or the 270 for our Jawa.

That was really helpful. Love your informational videos. Thanks guys

I’m from Margs and holiday in Esperance January school holidays, Kalbarri Sept/Oct school holidays. Love the vids. Especially the local merch 😂😂😂

Great vid looks like Exmouth

[@gregcooke3260]

Great video (as usual). Is there any way you could adapt the winding handle which extends the awning so that it can be extended using your electric drill? I use my drill on my winches on my camper trailer - just saves a bit of time.

How appropriate. Maiden trip with our new hybrid this Anzac weekend. Sorry not a Jawa. 4 days at Cobdogla. Awning much the same thanks for the tips. Cannot understand how Mavo didn't get a gratuitous 10 secands holding a random pole for you! 😊

Great video, our awning (SWAG hybrid), is pretty much identical. I use the same pegs, have found they are really good, only time I have had issues is when the ground is fairly saturated, and they pull out. Otherwise they are great. Have you figured out a way you can clean the vinyl on the top of the awning?

[@anthonymcneil8778]

I have a Thule awning (similar style). Worst awning ever. Roll out awnings are by far the best, especially when a storm hits.

[@bjgtrev1970]

They break very easy especially the plastic pin that holds the leg to the pin .

Hi guys. Where were you parked up when doing this video ? Ps, enjoying the content😊

[@rebeccabuckley3879]

Great tips. Does the middle curved bar come with the Jawa? Do you know if you can buy those anywhere? We're looking at curved bars now and like that style much better

Yer can't say I'm a fan of a winder awning, austrack electric👌

Hi, I’m curious what brand of box awning you have. It looks very similar to my Fiamma 45S The fiamma awnings, like any other box type awnings are rubbish in my opinion and the anti flap kit on ours is useless. It doesn’t attach with a metal bracket and pin as does your one , but merely sits on a plastic grooved piece and cheap plastic bracket on the van end, it’s useless. I’m so disappointed on a $150k hybrid and we have this rubbish fiamma f45s awning fitted. So please tell me what brand awning you have, I’d like to maybe adapt your anti flap kit to suit my fiamma awning. Thanks.
