Can this be done, especially with its Tencate roof? Has anyone does this if so what is the alteration like and how much, also who does it? We are getting our brand new caravan next weekend and awning size is 1065 but our Bradcot easy alloy is 1050. We love our awning and its in great condition, seems a shame to sell it to replace it probably like for like, any suggestions thanks!

With a bit of luck your awning will allow you to use it as is even if you have to adjust the ladder straps to fit. I'd rather have an awning which is a little bittle too short than have it a little bit too long, there's nothnig worse IMO than having an awning on the ground which means you can't peg it properly.

Our last awning fitted too perfectly & we had an awkward pitch which had too much of the awning on the floor for my liking. I had to put two lengths of 4x2 under the tyres to lift the whole thing up a touch so I could peg it properly.

If you do choose to have it altered and were prepared to courier it to Bristol, I can thoroughly recommend Kingswood Canvas in Kingswood Bristol BS15. If you search on here or google them you'll find them. They've altered several for us over the years and even made a complete Annexe for an old awning we had years ago and it was superb, as is their customer service and workmanship.
