you could try rapido home site they got me a new cover a couple of years ago direct from france so I think they may be able to get hold of an awning for you or put you in touch with someone who can

Hi

You should be able to use a normal 12' awning.  Look on ebay for bargains.

I bought my Rapido 3 weeks ago, and we are going away on our 'maiden voyage' next weekend - exciting isn't it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you  get your awning

Jackie

A normal 12 ft awning will not fit any of the matic range of rapido's because the awning rail is not in one piece it is at two different heights.

You can modify a 12ft awning to fit but it is not an easy job.
