Mark1 Annex

[Batwoman]

Hello Brainstrust!
We have a Mark I and have never used the annex, normally use the quick deploy Awning.
But planning a trip away from next week and the weather is reported to be rain and rain. And  we will be staying at least 4 nights wherever we stop, so the plan was to use the annex for better coverage.
However the youtube video does not apply to us. No sail rails, but have stayputs; Also no parrot beak spreader, but have 2 with "U" hooks on one end.
Have printed out a photo from another thread of a Mark I with annex erected. And think I can work the basics out.
Just really after advice about where to put spreaders in general and how to attach it to the hatch if indeed one goes there.

Gday Batwoman,
The pole with hooks are for the centre speaker from a U fitting on the side of the hatch. The other runs along the side of the van to the front from the U on the to rear of the hatch.
Make sure you thread the sail track onto the hatch before you lift the hatch and zip the annexe to the tent at the same time.
The two tensioning straps are adjusted when you get the canvas fitted into the channel on the roof. Then all the poles.
Hope that helps a little,
Cheers
Jim
