Another thing to think about is parking up the camper to the awning needs pin point accuracy to get the damn thing in the right
Once the awning is up and attached to the van I put two tent pegs in the ground next to the side of the wheels on the awning side. That way when I come back to the site at the end of the day all I need to do is park up right next to the two pegs again. Never had a problem re-attaching the tunnel

Us too. Part of our awning tunnel wraps round the front and rear wheels and is held in place by a peg just behind/in front. These pegs have to be removed as part of the detaching process, so I push them back in next to the wheels as makers, I even leave them in the tunnel loops so that stays put too.

Our awning (Outlaw from campershop.co.uk) has a telescopic 't' bar pole that supports the roof of the tunnel connection and helps any water to run straight off.
Which awning do you have from Outlaw?
