They can also prove to be a great place to attach a strip light too. \r\rWhen exposed to wind, they can be unpredictable though as they can roll into your car or smack your van on its side with serious force if not secured properly to the rack or bars with bolts. If you don't have a roof rack attached onto your vehicle but no awning available yet, you should consider the following steps to avoid this from happening.\r\rIn order to mount your awning without a roof rack, you will need to determine how far does the roof line and mounting points extend from the centre of the awning brackets as well as how much lift your vehicle's wind profile provides. \r\rWith this information, you are able to figure out the maximum length of strap that is required in order to minimise any excessive slack that could lead to damage and your vehicle can still fit inside your garage.\r\rMany people that own vehicles without a roof rack choose to mount their awning bracket to the spare tire carrier. This may cause some trouble for those with pop-up or swing away carriers as these hang significantly lower than standard bolt-on units. \r\rHowever, it may also be difficult to suit those who have mounted their spare tire up high on their tailgate door. A piece of plywood can solve this problem by providing a place for your straps to rest on as well as additional support and stabilisation by distributing the weight across its surface more evenly. \r\rIf you plan on strapping down both sides of your awning arms at the same time, you may find it to be more suitable to mount the plywood slightly above the tie-down points to account for any variance in your vehicle's profile.\r\rSome may choose mounting their awning along the edge or side walls of their car or truck near the back doors instead of roof racks. While this provides an excellent location for those who need quick and easy access to their awning, those with swing-away carriers should not try this as it could potentially hit your carrier and bend/break its hinges. \r\rThose with pop up carriers can use similar support braces as mentioned earlier, but they will need to be careful that straps do not interfere with any mechanisms on their arms that would cause them not to deploy properly. You also have to take into consideration that when you open your rear door, the strap is going to go right into it and can cause damage when closing.\r\rAs a final step, keep in mind that no matter what method you use to mount your awning, from roof racks and back doors, it must be strong enough to hold its weight - this means any mounting brackets or straps will require a vehicle-specific approach because all vehicles offer a different set of options in which to anchor yourself down. \r\rIt's important to note that when using ratchet straps for securing your awning, they should never be used alone. Larger models come with built-in hooks at their ends which enable them to connect together by simply slipping one inside the other. This gives you a secure connection with fewer bolts and less overall strap length required to hold your awning down, which would suit best if you are using straps that do not have hooks on them as they would slip right through your ratchet's hook. \r\rAdditionally, it is recommended to use a kayak stacker bar with a standard 2\" strap around it for extra stability and holding power - this can be found at any camping store. Also, you can attach insulating foam or fibreglass to your awnings in order to increase the overall insulation.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"How do you attach awnings to roof rails?","text":"Roof rails can prove to be a great awning alternative to roof racks as every standard set of roof bars will have metal clasps on them to which you can attach your awning poles. \r\rWhen mounting the arms to the bars with bolts and washers, it's recommended to use two per side up top with at least one more on each side near the bottom so that you are able to drive away without feeling any discomfort in your awning shifting around due to wind. \r\rThis is likely required for larger-sized models as they can reach upwards of 9ft when completely extended and require three or more arms in order to maintain proper stability. \r\rYou also need to take into consideration where exactly you are planning on attaching these arms. They cannot obstruct your car's rear hatch door from opening/closing properly, otherwise, they might end up getting damaged when you close your door. In addition, they must not interfere with any brake lights that may be installed in the rear window of your van. \r\rNo matter what type of awning you purchase, most awnings come with instructional guidelines for proper installation, so make sure to read them carefully and keep them for future reference in case you ever need to move or remove your awning from its mounts in the future. Make sure you store your awning correctly, otherwise you might have to clean off mould.\r\rAdditionally, investing in a good mounting kit with important accessories and tools can also make the overall job easier and more cost effective.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"How do you mount an awning to a canopy?","text":"If your van doesn't have a roof rack, all awnings can also be attached to an existing canopy tent, but it will need to have compatible hardware in order for the mounting arms to connect properly. \r\rIf you are installing your awning brackets on top of an already installed canopy instead of a roof rack, it will likely suit best to purchase an extra set of support poles that attach underneath the arms themselves - this may not always be necessary depending on how sturdy and well bolted your canopy is or how much weight your specific model's armature has been designed to handle. \r\rIn some cases, it might be necessary to have your canopy's legs removed and replaced with a stronger design and position that can better support the weight of an awning. \r\rIf you are planning on installing an awning bracket onto a stand-alone or new canopy tent, you will need to ensure that the canopy itself has compatible hardware.

This is especially important with a motorhome and van as their side panels aren't quite as sturdy as the roofs racks. \r\rYou can also purchase awning mounts that are designed to work specifically with your vehicle's existing hardware if you don't mind the extra cost for it. \r\rNo matter how you decide to mount your awning roof racks, in the end, it will all depend on what kind of awning you plan on using and how heavy-duty it is.

Flushes work by using gravity and a siphoning process. As water flows into the toilet bowl from the tank, it enters through what is known as the flush rim openings. The rim openings are connected to pipes that lead directly down into the drain for disposing of wastewater. \r\rOnce all of the water has entered through these openings, gravity forces whatever is in your toilet bowl out through another set of openings located on the bottom called an S bend or J bend. If any blockage in the clogged toilet is present within this area, then you will not be able to complete a proper flush and your situation may require professional assistance. A plumber will unclog the toilet tank by using a plunger or a toilet snake with full power.

A plunger works by using suction to clear blockages within the toilet drain of a blocked toilet and get the water supply running again by giving a good seal and an air seal and can even be better than using hot water. First push it in the flush gently with regular strokes. This device will completely seal off the opening in your toilet bowl and create a vacuum that breaks up any blockage causing the problem. Some plumbers may prefer using an auger or toilet snake, which has a sharp spiral end that can break through foreign objects stuck in between your drain opening and can unclog the entire toilet. \r\rThere are also chemicals available at any hardware store that you could add to your clogged toilet and sewer line if plunging does not work and the foul odours remain. These types of chemicals are meant to assist with breaking up sludge, clogged toilet flapper, toilet paper or sediment built up of toilet water over time. A professional might recommend other cleaning products besides just chemical additives depending on the severity of your clog. Sometimes a dish soap and baking soda is also used to remove the clog or loosen it.\r\rIf you want to try it at home use a small container like a rubber cup to slowly pour one cup to two cups of the chemical or vinegar solution into the bowl and get it inside the toilet base. Use old clothes or an old towel to mop of any dirt on the floor, wait a few minutes for the chemical reaction to occur and flush. If the above methods fail, its time to give some licensed plumbers a call to come in with their high-quality plunger. Most clogs do not give a serious problem and flushing with a plunger in the bathroom to unclog can work before you call a plumber. This can also work for a sink and prevents permanent damage.

Often this is caused by clogging or build-up of sediment needing to be removed from within the flush handle and tank area.
