Having now a lovely Roll Out Awning, we have the flap to roll up to a neat gutter. Does any one have experience of just how long the clips which are used to shape the flap last?

I slowly realise as I get older that I am definitely NOT the fastest rat in the race.
Also the older I get the more I realise I do not know.
Had my full system of Rainsaver for a few years now. I bought their Show Special. Works really well. I run a hose direct into my shower tank and when that is full I fill up drinking water and jerry cans. Col
Further to Relax-n post; ensure bird droppings are thoroughly cleaned off awning prior to catchment - the little Fairy Martins (Bottle Swallows) are the worst culprits if parked near waterways or lagoons.

You guys are so lucky, everywhere I go, be it by bike (which means I have to carry it) and it is much harder on my bike to do so, Or by c,van, it never rains for us. So we never get extra unless we find a water source to filter it. I like to know where this rain is. Getting some rain at home, but when we travel, never see it.
We acquired a s/hand rain saver, but gave it away. I could not see myself fitting this thing at the sign of rain, getting a bucket full of dust and bird sh-t, then having the wind come and try to tear the awning away. If it looks like a storm, we bring the awning in. I guess where it could work is installed to an awning and full annex, tied down and storm proof.
We collected water off the awning/roof at Kangaroo Island, got about 40 liters of dirty water, easier to go and fill up with water from the town. As far as I am concerned a waste of money.
Depending on awning, clips are not required. We set our electric awning to a frag under full extension to collect water. This gives a slight channel. Drop one support arm slightly, hand a bucket with a filter pad in it. A hose connection clips hose to bucket and hose fills water tank. Cost almost nothing if you have bits and pieces in your shed.
