Yes, our van is seven years old.
No problems with the fitting. The vertical support arms are secured on to the underlying frame, almost abutting the rear end of the front small window, and fairly close to the rear, necessitating replacement of the older style clearnce light with a smaller LED version.
The original L-shaped bracket that runs along the roof was retained, and looks really neat. It probably also affords some protection to the rolled awning.
Everything was done with the usual
Bushtracker finesse, attention to detail, and expertise. The switch is placed on the side of the pantry, above its side door which opens over the sink. The inside workings of the switch are neatly boxed in, and the wire is neatly secured along a corner bead. It is linked into the Webasto heater circuit.
Previously we only put out the Coolibah awning if we were parked for a few days, but now I'm sure we'll use it a lot more. Buzz-buzz!
I couldn't be happier with the result.
Cheers
Bob
