Hello, please can someone help!! I have a soplair vendee awning with a bedroom extension. There are lots of poles, some weird and wonderful connectors and no instructions. Does anyone have any plans for what poles go where, how they attach to the puck and each other? I�m having a bit of nightmare with this so any suggestions welcome!! The photo is the one from eBay. I�ve not got this far yet!

I only ever put up it up once

One trick I think I remember was to slide the awning into the rail first and throw it backwards over the roof, then pull it back over the assembled frame. Also be careful with the shortest pole under the apex by the van, If it gets loose while fitting it can do some damage.

I agree with above. Drop the pop-top, slide awning into track and throw it up over the roof. Assemble framework with outermost poles bent as if kneeling. Flop awning fabric over kneeling framework and the extend kneeling legs to upright position. Loose peg everything, tension framework, add any extra roof poles you have, re-tension and re-peg as needed. With practice you should get it down to about 20/25 minutes, and no arguements. It is a lot easier with two but do-able by yourself with practice.
