Help please for the straps to go over my roof?

I have a wind down awning, which is using the bitch you would normally thread the drive away awning into. I believe there is some straps I can attach to the awning put over the roof of the van to hold it up. I would like to keep the awning and also have a driveway awning at the same time. Your support to help me do this will be appreciated.

Sorry using dictation and typo above! Bit you would normally….

So, is it that your kador kit is being used somewhere else, and you're looking to attach the Vango AirAway to your Cali using straps over the roof?

"8m Webbing straps
If you don't have an attachment point on your vehicle, don't panic as storm webbing straps can be used! The webbing straps are supplied with the awning and can be clipped into the buckles on the rear of the Air Away roof. The straps can then be passed over the roof of the vehicle and pegged into the ground. It is also important to adjust the straps to fully tension the roof."

There is a channel on the front of the wind out awning that you can attach the drive away to I don’t think over the top straps will work with a pop top

Use the channel on the non door side?

Thank you for responding. This was bought 2nd hand on ebay and the pegs and these straps were missing. I will contact Vango directly then. I better not buy the wrong type.

No, I would like it on the slide opening door side, AND also retain the wind down awning, as the Vango is to be used for longer stays on sites.

Good point. The roof would need to be down to use the straps. I may be 'forced' to remove the wind down awning.

As @Louis II pointed out, the Vango Faros Awning will connect to your wind out awning - there is no need to remove it at all.
It connects via the use of a Kador strip - which you seem to have on the passenger side according to your 3rd picture.
You need to wind the awning awning out a bit and find the channel, slide the Kador strip along it and then add the figure of 8 plastic bit. Your tent awning will then connect to the plastic figure of 8
