Hooks for guy ropes (attached to wheels)

[coolskijobs.com]

Hi,
has anyone thrown over their guy ropes from a drive-away awning (we have an outdoor revolution on a T6) and then attached to the wheels ?

I'm thinking there must be some sort of double hook that could attach to the spokes of my allys (with appropriate protection !)

Although I may have a solution and use suction cups

Cheers
Nic

Rather than risk damaging your wheels with a hook, if attachment to wheels is your only option, what about:

bungee balls

or go really high-tec and use a tent peg banged in the ground

or the age old faithful sky-hooks

Get a plastic coated hook as you said hook it on the alloy or loop a bit of paracord through the wheel and connect the strap to that

Bung balls sound good to me not gonna mark anything and easily removed should you wanna go out in the van .

I might get some of those as well

or screw some hooks or whatever kind of fixing you like into a piece of decking and drive the van onto the timber let it project out from the tyre 300mm and the strap won't even touch the side of the van

Have you decided against a channel and a kador strip?

Got a magnetic Kadar strip but the lines over the top are a precaution in wind ..
Also got some extra magnets that hold it all tight so should be good .. pics will follow after campervan campout next weekend

Yeah the magnetic strips aren't much good if its breezy.

A few of us use this channel to connect, avoiding the need for throw-over. Invisible from the ground. Had throw-over on my last van - the channel is far better. My awning and canopy are both Outdoor Rev.
