New to caravanning!

[Binksy69]

I am a newcomer to the caravan scene and have recently purchased an Avondale Rialto 480-2. A Bradcot awning came with the caravan, which was a bonus, and it seems to be in excellent condition. Can anyone give me advice on how to tackle putting the awning up, as it would appear to be a mammoth task?

This gives some idea but a bit basic http://www.busyoutdoors.com/Bradcot-Awning-Assembly-Video.htm

Thanks for the plug Martin - it is basic but it's a first!

We are fairly new to caravanning and when we put up the awning for the first time we had not a clue....but help came from other caravanners....they were just so pleased to help. We eventually colour coded the poles that go together with coloured tape which was a great help next time. One tip we learned was to use a common silicone polish to spray the rail round the caravan to make it easier to push it around.
