Has anyone fitted a Thule smart panel awning side?

[CaliCrazy]

Bought the Thule side panel seeing as the awning is made by Thule; thought it'd be simple to fit. Mmm...It has come with so many bits and bobs and instructions, which are useless, mention drilling?! Has anyone fitted one who could talk me through it please? I'm sure it'll be ace once it's set up!

As there's no reaction yet , maybe just post the instructions on here and maybe that way somebody can give tips....

Found this with a video and after first thinking no way it looks pretty good and not so worrying when shown what to do.

Hi , we were looking at these but thought you had to buy the entire room, were you able to just purchase the side parts? If so, what was the part number please ?

Yes you can buy in sections. Bit different than the safari residence which you have to buy in entirety.
If you want the Thule one it is on the site below:

On every thing to note is that the panel doesn't sit flush against van. I was pleased about this as didn't want the stiff fabric rubbing against paintwork. Am prepared to put up with a bit of a draught.
