Jonboymentalhealth Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Unfortunately store my motorhome in a yard so unable to photo, but my swift escape has a metal rail round the edge of the sides/roof, it doesn't look as wide as the old caravan awning rails but is this what it is? And if sonwhat type of connector would I need to use it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydney1 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Not clear from pictures exactly which rail you are referring to. Is it an awning rail something like this? https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=awning+rail&safe=active&biw=1366&bih=573&tbm=isch&imgil=zqAOdIeK_BK6TM%253A%253BFUdBhOBZtBMBiM%253Bhttps%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.norwichcamping.co.uk%25252Fproducts%25252Faluminium-awning-rail-12m%25252F&source=iu&pf=m&fir=zqAOdIeK_BK6TM%253A%252CFUdBhOBZtBMBiM%252C_&usg=__Zezc36eugv1eOo5K4oGK2MkQ_2c%3D&ved=0ahUKEwjLjonivsnKAhWG6CwKHQQNCX0QyjcIRg&ei=inSoVsuhDobRswGEmqToBw#imgrc=zqAOdIeK_BK6TM%3A or a piece of aluminium extrusion to connect or trim the roof/side wall interface which may have a rubber insert to finish it off?

Robinhood Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 ...it sounds very much like you are referring not to an awning rail, but to the jointing strip that covers the joint between the walls and the roof. The construction will be a bit like this: http://www.olearymotorhomes.co.uk/corner-moulding-cs108-113-p.asp ...the flat section on the right is "screwed through" at intervals, and is designed to take a pvc "herzim strip" along its length, tucked in under the flanges, to hide all the screws. From this very site, the following is what I'm talking about (and possibly you as well). https://wgp-cdn.co.uk/OAL/jpg/imports_2-alloy-trim-screws-joints_87180/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonboymentalhealth Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 Hmmm back to the drawing board then, I want an awning but not sure I like the idea of just throwing over roof or if will cover solar panel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
