I believe the gutter kit should be a standard supplied with the original purchase that makes it a truly all round great start up

[@larryhudgins6988]

Agreed. Shouldn't be an option.

Great awning. Had mine for over 5yrs now and still wrapped with how easy it is to use. The wall kit I'd prefer to be angle/flared out to provide more room (Darche does theirs like this).

Hi Evan, that's good to hear! And thanks for the feedback our a flared-out version, something to consider.

Great products

I acquired a storm kit after previously being caught in the rain that became quite a challenge with the water damming up on the awning. I had the chance to put the storm kit to the test in the Cedarberg weekend past and it made a huge difference. The storm kit is a must have when camping in the rain. It works!

Great to hear! Thanks for the feedback, Michael!

Great products, i wish if there is a side wall just one piece to cover wind blow or sun from one side…

[@alu_cab]

Thank you! We are looking into offering the Side Walls separately.

If this kit is necessary for most that buy this awning why not include it? Seems like an afterthought

Hey Guys, great to see that you like our Crocodile so much and looks like a lovely set you got there! But what do you do when the ground is to hard or soft for that normal peg your including? And do you have any idea how much stronger our screw pegs are compared to regular tent pegs? We created an exclusive set for 270° awnings that is extremely versatile. We would love to collaborate with you on this. Our set includes pegs for any soil type you might encounter during your adventures. Normal grounds, super soft/muddy, sandy and also extremely tough and rocky ground conditions. We included our TieStraps that have an integrated shock absorber and take the sudden wind gust from your awning. You simply connect the strap with our U-Connector to the Crocodile. It all comes in a handy bag and with the fitting tool. Regards from the Peggy Peg Team

can you please help? what is the size of the piston? how many newton pistons do you use? Thank you.

[@ceciliarademeyer4949]

Absolutely love my shadow awning. I have a question: How does the rain gutter fit onto a Gen 3R tent? The rope mould seem to interfere with the tent latches? Should I trim the length of the mould to fit inbetween the latches?

[@alu_cab]

Hi Cecilia, would you be able to send us pictures of your fitment to [e-mail] so that we can better advise, please? Thanks!

Hi hello May I ask how does the landrover 110 pop up ALU CAB handle heavy rains 🌧🚐 Kind regards

[@alu_cab]

Hello, it works excellently in wind and rain - we've never heard of a failure :) You can watch Eva zu Beck's videos of her time in Alaska where they had wind and rain for reference.
