Soplair Vendee fitting

Hi all.
I am wondering if we might be able to fit a Puck Soplair Vendee to our Puck with our Omnistor in place.
As you can see from the photo of our Puck , we already have to brackets for a Soplair some 7 inches either side of the Omnisotr, however its the middle section im not confident about.

Many Regards from Bob

Does the Vendee have a vertical rear triangle like the others in the Soplair range Bob, or is it something like the one on Hob's Puck?

If it like the others and looking at the photo you've added, I don't think you'll be able to get it to fit. There is a certain amount of flexibility in the rear section and it can be "leaned" by a small amount but because you have a Puck the Omnistor is far too close. That's only my opinion however.
On the other hand, if the awning you are looking at has the sloping rear section as per Hob's photo, then you're in with a chance, I think? Hob is the man to ask.

I agree, I think you will be unable to fit the central "riser" with a Soplair awning :( as the Omistor will be in the way .

Just looking at your photo again and the Omnistor brackets straddle the awning rail in which case it's a no-go.

Put it on the other side! We parked up next to an Eriba years ago in Germany and he had a full awning on both sides

Likes to wax and have a smooth finish!

It's a conspiracy, I tell you!

Can you not just remove your omnistor when you want to use a Soplair. That's what we do. It's a 5 minute job to unbolt the 3 brackets from the awning rail.
For weekends we fit the omnistor and longer stays we use a Walker awning.
