Hi all
We have recently bought a fleurette tamaris 37tst and I'm looking for an awning to fit it. Any help would be appreciated (not a porch awning) thanks in advance 😊

The problem for the pop up is that if you just use the awning rail the you cannot open the door of the caravan.

Walkers Awnings ( a dutch company) overcome this with a rather neat vertical extension which fits the Rapido/Fleurette/Silver models as well as Eribas

We had a Trigano Silver ( same mould) and it worked well.

I wonder if a camper van (VW type) would fit as they are probably about the same height?

Thank you both, I'll look into both options.
I just need something big enough for a bed, as there are 3 of us and 2 dogs.

I fell in love with the fleurette as soon as I saw it. Turns out it's full of damp and rotten wood, so my husband has completely stripped it out.

It also needs a front window, as it has a leak. I'm guessing that's going to be hard to find as well.

Thank you for your replies, I really appreciate it.

Trigano owner here. I have a Trigano Indiana air awning - if your caravan is long enough this will fit height wise. You can also buy bedroom annexes which I also have. This arrangement works well although its a real faff putting the thing up.
Kampa pop air awnings will also fit but don't know if they have annexes. . Both the Indiana and Kampa pop awnings are pricey new but you can usually pick up 2nd hand.
SUNNCAMP Swift low awnings are designed for camper vans so heightwise should be okay. I have a sunncamp swift verao 260 which works well as a porch awning.
One option is to buy a large enough porch awning and use a cheap pop-up tent inside the awning as a bedroom.
There are a couple of Facebook groups "Trigano owners" and "Trigano and Fleurette pop top caravan owners" which might be worth joining.

Thank you, that's really helpful. I think I read on a different thread that someone had bought a kampa air pro 290, so maybe worth looking at. I'll have a look at all of the options you've mentioned. Thanks again 😊
