Product Information
Full details
The Vango Awning Rail Stoppers are essential accessories for campervan and motorhome owners using sun canopies or drive-away awnings, providing a simple way to prevent lateral movement of the Kador strip within a C-channel rail. They are ideal for users who frequently set up their awnings in breezy conditions, though they are specifically sized for standard 6mm Kador rail systems, requiring users to verify their rail compatibility before purchase.

FAQs
Are these stoppers compatible with all campervan rails?
They are designed for standard 6mm Kador rails. If your vehicle uses a different size or a specialized aftermarket rail, check the manufacturer's specifications first.
Do I need any tools to install these?
No, the stoppers are designed to be installed by hand.
How many stoppers do I need per awning?
The pack contains two stoppers, which is typically sufficient to secure one awning by placing one at each end.
Can these be used while the vehicle is moving?
No, you must remove your awning and the rail stoppers before driving the vehicle.
Will these prevent the awning from blowing off in high winds?
While they prevent sliding, they are not a replacement for proper tie-down straps or storm kits during heavy weather.
Troubleshooting
Stopper slides inside the rail
Ensure the C-channel is clean and free from debris. If the stopper remains loose, check if your rail is wider than the standard 6mm specification.
Cannot fit stopper into the rail opening
Check the entry point of your awning rail for any burrs or metal protrusions that may be blocking the insertion path.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward: ensure your rail is clear of debris, slide the Kador strip into place, and then press the stopper into the C-channel, tightening or securing it so it abuts the end of the Kador tape. These stoppers are compatible with C-channel, C-profile, and popular rails like the Reimo Multi-rail and VW factory-fitted units. For care, simply wipe them down with a damp cloth after use to remove road grit or salt, and ensure they are fully dry before storing them in a cool, dark place to maintain the integrity of the material.
