[QUOTE="condor22, post: 419847, member: 1932"] Looking for a solution to this "like to have" [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1932/1529842299_awning.jpg[/img] The awning on my caravan will extend as per the LH diag all the way out with the leg either attached to the van or vertical. When all the way out the awning material uncovers a rope track suitable for an annex wall or privacy screen (NOT what I'm after) and a flap. However, I rarely extend the awning all the way, in fact I have it at it's minimum extension, primarily to lessen the wind effect. If I'm out detecting, I don't want to come back to camp to find the awning ripped over the top of the van :). So, to what I would like - As I often bush camp and water is not always readily available, I would like to come up with an idea to collect rainwater from the annex, but when it's half out. Hanging a bucket, sieve, filter, hose to a jerry is not really the issue and neither is lowering one end to give a flow to them. I've seen some mouldings that turn the awning flap into a gutter and even plastic guttering attached to the rope track. But neither of these is available when the awning is half deployed. I certainly don't want to damage the awning either, so my question is, anyone seen something that will spark the grey matter to an inferno, lol. So looking for a light weight gutter and a way of fitting it. [/QUOTE]
