I very much doubt it.  I would imagine it is not going to be high enough, also you will have gaps at the sides.  Probably best to sell it and put the proceeds towards a caravan porch awning.

Not really, Its not high enough & its got no rail beading, so a non starter, I think.

If it has enough material to reach the height of the awning rail then a possible method would be to sew on a length of Kador strip to the tent,

 this will allow you to thread it through the awning rail

129

 

But I agree that you would be best to sell, and put money towards some thing more appropriate.

The Horizon porch has a maximum height of 205cm and I would guess your caravan will have an awning rail of height of 235cm-250cm so it will be too short.

Sell the tent porch and get a proper caravan awning.

Welcome to the forum, but I would suggest you change your name. Using your email address is a recipe for being picked by lots of Spambots, and then you will get loads of unwanted email.

Horizon porchs fetch pretty decent prices on eBay as well but yes another vote for buying a proper awning!
