Finished the frame for the camper annexe to car so won't need to carry shit loads of poles , tested it out and it works well enough for me but will only be used if it's raining .

Whats the configuration - does the frame stay there or slide out ?Quote:

One end goes in the hook under the spigot the other end attaches to an eye fixed onto the solar panel holding frame , I just put a big screwdriver though this then adjust the tension I need to pull the canvas tight , may put a occy over the spigot to hold canvas if windy .
I've worked out that GQ needs to be between 2.300 - 2.400 metres from camper side , but ideal is 2.300 ish , it's not that hard to do I have done a few trials and got it every time once I knew what distance works best .
If you want I can take some better photos of the bolted ends and brace connection points .
I am still struggling with this ! Maybe when you have it rigged up take a photo for me pls so I can appreciate your design. thanksQuote:

Have some photos of when I first hooked it up and when I moved the GQ a bit further away they are not great but might be what you're after .Quote:
