Hi, I was wondering is there a particular way of attaching guy ropes to the ends of an awning, or do you just tie them on. I am surprised there isn't a reinforced hole or a loop in the awning to attach a rope . Mine is a Prostor 500. Thanks Ian

City folks just use spray borne xyzethrin compounds that kill the flies that ingest the spray. The doors and screens close and problem solved. Those that look a bit deeper go to fly behavior. Desert Dwellers Fly Repellent actually works and the active ingredients are rosemary oil and cedar oil. The...

Hi. I was looking at the overwhelming range of off road vans and a couple of Carrera vans caught my eye. Mainly because $60,000 is a lot less than some of the others! Does anyone have any opinions on this brand? Thanks Noel
