The Kiravans Railsail is a sail-cloth type rain and sun shade manufactured in heavy duty waterproof fabric to attach to the side of your van. The Railsail requires a multirail or any other kador-band-fixing tube with a 6mm diameter on the side of your van. The railsail awning has a kador bead, which can then slide in and attach nice and tight to your van. Other than that it just needs poles, guylines and pegs to keep it up.
The Kiravans Railsail also comes in a Kiravans canvas storage bag. Check out the video to see some of the different styles of awning you can create, (just ignore the last minute of the video which shows another idea we were playing with at the time!)
Important
Please note, while the sail-cloth itself is waterproof, the seam itself is not completely watertight. So please be aware that if you're using the awning for rain cover, you may experience some dribbles around this area. Therefore it's always a good idea not to position your chairs directly under the seam! :)

Not Included
We don't include any poles, guy lines or pegs with the Railsail as we reckon most folks already have a bunch of this stuff at home, and it would just add to the cost. What we have found works best is: 1-3 adjustable poles (About 7-foot high plus/minus a bit) and 3-5 guy lines (4 or 5 metres length).
