What a tease when Becks just happens to capture the 200 series in the back ground!

[@CharlesinGA]

Two minor details to add, make sure the threaded end of the eyebolts is no longer than necessary so that it cannot possibly intrude on the sliding bracket for the awning. Second, slip pieces of heat shrink over the cable before you start, and then shrink it down over the swedges and the cut end of the cable so you don't snag your clothes or hands on it. Looks good.

[@markedwards8788]

I returned from the UK in mid 2020 and have had lots of time on my hands since. I discovered your channel and I'm really enyoying watching your adventures. Thanks so much for sharing your your amazing travels and tips - please keep the excellent videos coming!!!!

[@sharonjessen814]

Thanks for the awesome video, hubby has been saying for a couple of years that he is going to put one up for us. Well guess what? He said he is off to Bunnings tomorrow! He said to make sure I write down what I need as we watch it, I said later, let’s just watch it first and you put up the shopping list - AWESOME, THANK YOU! Looking forward to watching the new van video , and the best car, a cruiser!

[@shafmahar4974]

Thank you for this tip mate. Very nice and easy thanks to your details

Mmmm, new van, new vehicle, new boat, too good!!! look forward to future travels whenever that may be. :-]

[@tonyfindlay1225]

Great idea, I saw this on a van on a trip to Tassie a few years back, suggestion to add a zip tie through the turn buckle to the eye bolt to stop the chance of the turnbuckle coming loose with the wind buffeting, plus a safety for the open end hook, this clothes line is also good when you are transiting as you can use it without putting the awning out, keep up the good work

[@jesselang2010]

Awesome idea - will be doing this on our van one day! Only thing I would add to it would be a little piece of heat shrink around each swage just to protect fingers from bare cable ends.

[@kevinclarke7065]

Great idea. When I did mine I used a turnbuckle at each end and stainless wire. Works a treat. Just don’t over tighten as it will pull your awning arms in. Good video.

[@amosbanjocaretakers3598]

[@Chris-zm5mj]

Great idea👍🏼 Adding a cable thimble at each loop will protect the cable at the stress points. Love the vids Stay safe folks

[@gbsailing9436]

And a proper swage tool wouldn't go astray either (I'm a perfectionist), but at the weight they are looking at holding... not really necessary. 😂😎

[@TripInAVan]

[@gbsailing9436]

Nice! However, a simple measure up from the awning pivot to the open door frame would give you the clearance you require to get over the door. If this is lower than the axis of the awning by 100mm or more, then two (2) or more lines could be run/affixed 50mm apart!!!

[@captainkipper86]

Awesome tips- we’ve used this on ours since a few days after you guys released this vid! We are about to upgrade our existing old van to a flash brand-spanker (baseline) , but they’ve got the newer concertina type of awning, not this style. Going to be so annoyed if we can’t have a clothesline.

[@stratometer]

Seems like a great idea. Just be careful, on corrugated roads a lug worked itself loose, swung around scratched the hell out of my windows and doors and smashed out the sliding catch on my awning. It's great until it ain't. Don't travel with it attached. In retrospect it was the worst thing i ever changed on my new caravan.

[@stevegraham3817]

The back side of the pliers pivot has an indent crimper that would work better for the swages..

[@pete3103]

How come you haven’t done this to your new van?

[@stevejenkins646]

When aluminum and stainless steel are used in an assembly together, the electrons from the aluminum will begin to transfer into the stainless steel. This results in the aluminum weakening. This weakened aluminum causes it to deteriorate at a much faster rate. This can lead to an extended life of the stainless steel.
