I have bought a small touring caravan, which is currently in storage at Cuevas Mar campsite in Palomares.

I am coming out end of September and looking for someone who can help me erect an awning. It will be the first time for me to put up an awning.

Is there anyone able to assist me please?  Payment will be made at a reasonable rate.

Kind regards,

Gwyn

Hi, if you are staying on the campsite then you will find loads of people that will help for no payment,similar on other caravan sites, caravaners are a helpfull lot.

once the awning is up mark the poles so next time you will know where they go

If u speak to the couple that's parked across their pitch in an English plated camper , he will direct you , incidentally we have got an air awning and wouldn't have a clue about how to erect a normal one . Takes 15 min max and are so easy and wind proof up to 100kph . Bout €500 I think but well worth it . Best camp site in the area love it . Showers are awesome too. R u staying long time or short

Thank you both for your helpful advice. Yes we have already found the warmth in the community on site. A neighbour has

already offered to move the caravan on site for us as we don't have a

towbar. 

I posted this message because I am a bit embarrassed to ask him for more help with the awning even though I am sure he

 would assist if asked.

Thanks again,

Gwyn
