With poled porch awnings it is sometimes difficult to get a close fitting with the caravan wall. With these limpet fittings there is no problem and that hold in a stiff breeze too.
We could only fit 3 on each side because the limpet coincided with the logo marks. The limpets do need a perfectly smooth surface. No problem though. 3 fitments each side were fine.
Camping World pointed this out and I thought it was a bit of a gimmick but I was completely wrong! It is so easy to attach and prevents the edge of the awning flapping in the breeze at the edges, which causes a lot of noise at night, as well as reducing draughts significantly. They held on tight on my first (light breeze) outing (10-12 mph winds, gusting 20+ mph).
How have we managed without these for so many years? One word of warning - DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. In my enthusiasm, I turned them really tight, and of course, the the threaded tube sheared off. Live and learn, I suppose.
Not sure why these cost so much and you'll probably need two packs to allow for breakages and hanging organisers and other stuff, but they do work well at holding awning edges to the caravan and reducing wind access.
We have used them on both our awnings now and they do what they are expected to do. You cannot use them where caravan decal is located but just punch a hole in above/below that and it works a treat
