You can't really go by size numbers as different manufacturers apply different size numbers to their awnings. In other words what may be a size 10 in one manufacturers size may be a size 9 in an another.

THe Isabella website  http://62.242.39.22:591/isabella/uk/ameasurement/FMPro suggests that for a 2005 super sprtie 390-2 the a measurement is 815cm and the awning required is an 852 cm

If the caravan is a 90s model then a Super Sprite 390-2 was the same van as a Sprite Alpine (I very nearly bought a new one in 1994 ) and that van has an A measurement of 766cm and needs a 775cm awning ( from the Isabella web site ),  if it is a sprite Europa 390/2 from the mid 90s then that one is very similar to the Apline ( I bought the Europa ) and according to the Isabella web site that one has an A measurement of 782cm and requires a 775cm awning.

If you look at the Isabella and the Bradcot  web sites they  give you values that are in cm, the NR awnings web site gives you a length in feet which it relates directly to the A measurement of the awning this  is to me the only sensible way to size an awning.

I know how many cm's it is that's how i got to the size 17. Have had a look at the NR website and found what size i need straight away so won't have any problems.

Virtually all if the major manufacturers make no reference to size A or size B all size them in cm.

Sorry hav'nt replied sooner, been in Cornwall

thanx to all,  I got the original figure of 770 from the handbook but I too felt that 770cm was a bit small for a 17ft 11in length caravan. With the info given I will be able to make an informed decision as to which awning i need to get. Once again thanx.
