Awning Pegs Hammer in or Drill in?
I am a new caravanner (Swift Challenger 540) and I've recently bought a Kampa 390 awning and need suitable pegs. Have read previous discussions, but may I ask for recommendations for a set of soft ground pegs and a set of hard ground pegs. We will go to
'normal' sites in UK and soon to Loire Valley in France.
In soft ground, would T-shaped plastic pegs, hammered in, provide the best pull-out resistance? Surely smooth steel spikes will just pull out.
In hard ground, are steel pegs best, and if so, is it worth bothering with drill-in spikes, or for a reasonably able-bodied soul, are hammer-in steel smooth spikes fine?
I see steel pegs with screw thread for sale which are hammer-in type. Surely it is pointless to have screw thread when the spike is hammered in? Is it not true that screw thread is only useful on a drill-in peg (spike)?
Would be interesting to hear the views of experienced folk. Thanks.
