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.

If there is no drain set up for the sink yet, have one installed first before bathroom vanity installation.

Even if you're not installing a new vanity, you'll need to move the old vanity out of the way so that you can work without any issues.\r\rYou may also need to run some new plumbing lines from the floor waste and vent above it. This is not always as easy as it sounds since they may be old and corroded and they may also not be easily accessible or they might not even exist anymore. You will want to hire a licensed plumber with experience in this area for the best results. They will start by removing the old tailpiece, clean up any corrosion and debris.\r\rThey will then determine where to cut into the floor or the wall back panel to route new P-traps for both the bathroom vanity sink as well as the lavatory fixture. Since there are many variables involved when determining whether to use the wall or the floor, it's best to have a plumber who specialises in this area take care of it for you. This is because he can use the right tools to minimise any damage to your wall, flooring, and other fixtures. Additionally, he knows exactly what type of piping to use based on your local plumbing code and makes sure that everything works properly once the vanity is in. The final step is filling out any necessary paperwork for permits before turning everything back over to you.\r\rThe job basically involves connecting all the bathroom fixtures together so waste can flow down into an existing sewer line. It also requires hooking up hot and cold water lines, venting for each fixture, and setting up traps.\r\rIf you are looking to install your own bathroom vanity plumbing using Pex tubing, it's important to note that most plumbers will not use Pex when they install bathroom sink drainage because it is more expensive than most other types of piping. However, if you already have the setup in place, then they will probably just use what is there since it would be wasteful to put in new copper tubing at this point for such a small job. The bottom line here is that usually, only large projects involving extensive re-piping will cause them to switch out plumbing materials without having to replace everything with galvanised or copper piping along the way.\r\rIf you're uncertain about how to handle the plumbing when you install a bathroom vanity, it's always best to contact a professional for help. Many online services will help you find the best fit for your needs, allowing you to filter out professionals who do not offer help with vanity plumbing, and also allow customers to book online, making the process as easy for you as possible. The New South Wales Department of Fair Trading has some great information about hiring contractors for these kinds of renovations.\r\rRemember, working in plumbing means dealings with things like water supply lines, water pipes, wall plugs, and more. You may need to use a hammer drill to drill access holes and will also need to be prepared to deal with any unexpected plumbing emergencies that may arise. Unless you're confident you can handle the whole process yourself, getting professional help ensures you don't make errors that will cost you a ton to rectify, and that your plumbing will be working properly once all the work is complete. While a professional will cost more than doing it yourself, you don't have to worry about major accidents or damaging other parts of your bathroom like your flooring, wall, or the countertop while you work on the plumbing.","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":"Can I install my own bathroom vanity?","text":"Absolutely.
