The write ups on the Fiamma Caravanstore says to measure the straight portion of the waning rail. I won a Swift Challenger 400Se (2000) which has a gentle curve the whole length of the rail, can I fit a Caravanstore

Should be OK on a very gentle curve. If you can post a picture of the side of the van we can be more certain.

What size of Caravanstore are you considering?

Do you want to fit sides, or is it just the canopy?

If you strike a straight line the length of the awning bag and measure the difference between the highest point of the rail and your line, how much is it?

I would say no on that particular caravan. To fit, the awning would have to be too short to be worthwhile. If you just want a canopy that is quick to put up, consider a single sheet & 3 poles/guy lines. No good in high winds but nor is the caravanstore & the sheet/poles won't break if it does get blown down.

The smallest one, the 2,55m one should fit, it would go right back to the start of the rear curve. But with sides fitted, both would come over windows I think. Does it have a window to the rear of the door on your one Toz?

They do a smaller one, 1.9m, and I see there's one for sale on this site..... (whistling emoticon!)
