Thule Omnistor awning installation VW Crafter 2018.

Good video, useful to someone fitting that awning. I’ve just got a fiamma awning but yours looks much better. Your van looks so clean, the side pods look great with the black windows.

Thanks, I was between the Thule and Fiamma awnings and couldn’t decide which for a long time. Then seeing them both at the Caravan and motorhome show last October I decided to go for the Thule. It’s a very sleek fitment and the foam strip completes the job nicely there’s no gaps then along the roof line. It is very clean I was lucky to find a second hand van in such good condition bodywork wise. I went with black pods so they match the black windows and it brakes up the white nicely.

@@luxduoverland674 yes is definitely better than mine, just been watching your swivel seat video, I was going to do the same, but Ive for wires going to the seat, so don’t know how to get over that problem.

@exploresandtosummit you’ve got sensors in the seat I take it then ? It may be worth contacting R & J Camper Solutions and see what they can advise They must have had others with the same issue before I would think.

Hi and thanks for the great work. Maybe I did not hear it (not english native speaker) but which type and length is is? Omnistore 6300 3.25mx2.50? That seems the recommodation from Thule. But it looks like a 3.50x2.50 might also just fit. I would prefer to buy the longer one. What do you think, would this be possible? Thanks for the help.

[@luxduoverland674]

Hi It’s a 3.25mX2.5m as recommended, I bought a kit which included all the fitting brackets which was only sold in the above size.

Thanks for the video, I don't know if you said it in the video but how many tubes of Sikaflex did you use in total? Marc

[@luxduoverland674]

Hi thanks for watching, only the one tube of sikaflex and I didn’t use it all. Make sure you put plenty around the bolt holes in the roof of the van and a good thick bead on the channels in the mounting plate.
