Caravan awning set up or taken down at your pitch. Properly erected, securely pegged, guy-roped correctly. You get extra living space without the argument.
### The Annual Awning Argument
Every caravan owner knows it. The awning goes up, tempers flare, instructions get thrown, someone storms off. **Getting help** means your holiday starts relaxed instead of stressed, and you've still got a functioning relationship when it's up.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Awnings are way easier to put up when you're not both tired from driving. Book help, arrive at site, have a cuppa while I sort it.

Good to Know
> ⛺ **End of season?** I can help take it down properly - clean, dry, folded right. Stops it going mouldy in storage over winter. **Weather watching:** Best erected in calm conditions. If wind's forecast, wait. Awning up in wind is dangerous - fabric acts like a sail. **Muddy pegs:** If ground's wet, pegs come up covered in mud. Either clean them before packing (garden hose) or pack separately and clean at home. **Often combined with:** - Caravan seasonal prep (when arriving on site for season) - Caravan cover fitting (if storing van on site) - General site setup help **Learning opportunity:** I'm happy to talk you through what I'm doing. Next time you might feel confident doing it yourself, or you might decide it's always worth paying someone. Both valid.
Frequently Asked Questions about Caravan awning help in Honiton
Why would I pay someone to help with the awning?
Because putting up a full caravan awning is a proper two-person job that takes practice. If you're new to it, if your partner's had enough of the annual awning argument, or if you've got physical limitations, having someone who knows what they're doing saves hours of frustration.
Do you bring the awning or do we provide it?
You provide it - it's yours, goes with your specific caravan. I provide the labor, knowledge, and ability to do it without swearing (much). If you're buying a new awning, I can advise on what's suitable.
How long does it take to set up an awning?
Full awning with someone who knows what they're doing - about an hour. Porch awning - 30 minutes. First time ever - can be 3+ hours of confusion. That's where I save you time and stress.
Can you help take it down as well?
Yes - often taking it down is when people need help most. Getting it clean, dry, and folded properly so it doesn't mildew in storage. Especially useful if weather's turned bad and you're in a rush to leave.
What if it's windy or raining?
Setting up in wind is horrible but I've done it enough to know the technique. Rain depends - happy to help in light rain, but proper downpour means waiting for a break. Taking down in rain is fine - we'll get it down, you can dry it at home.
