Ha Ha Ha, yeah right Dot. How about I sit on hers. Nah. A ladder is safer.
Bernie our awning is 2.4 metres (8 ft) and 17'6" long, whatever that is in metres.

Dave,
I'm confused; I can clip my antiflappers in while standing on the ground. I'm not sure why you need a ladder.

Because mine aren't exactly the same as yours Jon. I wish that I had bought some exactly the same as yours, but I didn't, and they are a pain in the butt to clip on.

Re: Ladders and stuff
Technique we were taught by a Winnebago dealer:
How to extend your awning to “storm” setting.
(Works on A&E awnings & similar.)
1. Unroll awning to full length.
2. Slide upper arms up to lock into top of lower arms, but don’t lock down length.
3. Extend lower arms to your preferred length, leaving the feet attached to m/h body.
4. Switch to ‘retract’ mode & rewind awning until upper arms are contracted to their minimum length.
You now have a 2/3-length awning with the powerful internal tension spring holding the fabric taut.
To stow, follow normal routine after re-extending the awning.

Re: Ladders and stuff
I have actually put the awning away in exactly those conditions. I think I started with a towel wrapped around me.
