I'm afraid it doesn't work like that.  The size 900 is the length measured from ground to ground via the awning channel(a piece of string is the uaual method). Vans differ, so there is no one answer to your question. It depends on the ground clearance of the van, the height and length of the van, and the length/position of the channel!  Get some string and measure your channel ground to ground to see if it would fit.

A size 900 cms. fits my caravan although the official size is 886 cms according to the Coachman handbook. It's always advisable to go for the size up and not the next size down.

Some caravans have a boat roof and some are flat so the flat roofs are higher from the ground so the ones with a boat roof will be shorter although the caravan may be same length. Also various caravans have different contours so there again the shape will alter what size awning is required. Basically you get an awning to fit a caravan but you can't get a caravan to fit an awning.

The new caravans on the market are higher than the older ones but saying that my son had a 1987 swift jura i think, and that was higher than the older vans.
