Hi guys, I'm brand spanking new to this site so please bare with, I still cant fatherm out how to write my own question so I've had to jump on board this as it is awning related..

I need a bit of advice, I have fully restored a Abi Award Sunstar 1994... I'm really please with the outcome but I have a problem regarding purchasing an awning...

on my caravan, above the door, the awning rail raises ..
I have a friend who is going to sell me his brand new kampa rally 390 as he no longer requires it.

Anyways would I just have to adjust the legs on the awning pole to suit the bump as best possible? Every van I look at is all the same bleeding level!

Any info would be much appreciated. Kind regards. Adam.

My guess would be that the awning is attached to the side of the caravan and its roof will simply follow the shape of the awning rail.

There will be rafter poles running from the side of the caravan to the outer wall of the awning.

Quite simply, the awning roof by the caravan will follow the caravan awning rail shape. The roof at the outer wall will follow the shape of the awning leg poles. The roof in between will adapt itself to suit.

Hallo Garry.
I acquired a CI Sprite off eBay last year at the start of this pandemic.
We are getting it ready for this season and attempted to work out the awning poles. I've not had any experience with full awnings, so I wondered if you still had a copy of the erection procedure to help us out.
As this is a bit of a rarity. information is scarce, so I submitted to google and this link came up.
Regards, Tony

This is just for a typical awning with poles, not necessarily exactly the same as yours but they are all pretty similar.

You will probably have the following:

Leg poles. These will be about 6 or 7 feet long when extended and will have small round discs and possibly a short spike at one end. A clamp allowing the pole to be extended in the middle and a slightly reduced diameter pole at the top. Probably 2 or 3 leg poles and possibly 1 of 3 will be a slightly different length to the other 2. The 2 will go at the 2 front corners of the awning as you look at the door side of the caravan.

Rafter poles. These will be 2 or 3 poles each the same length and the same number as there are leg poles. These will go from the top of each leg pole to the caravan side. Maybe a pad at the caravan end. Some need a pad attached to the awning canvas or maybe slide into a short pocket to protect the caravan side. Some might have hooks to small eyes already fixed to caravan.

Eaves poles. There will be 2 eaves poles each the same length. These will run along the front of the awning connecting the leg poles together.

Connector bits. There will be 2 or 3 connector bits made of short pieces of tube which go on the top of each leg pole to connect the rafter and eaves poles to the legs.

Try and identify all these parts and lay them out on the ground roughly where they will be when erected.

Slide the awning into the awning channel, up the side of the van along the top and down the other end. If there is a sharp bend in the rail at front or back start at the other end as it will be easier to pull through.

Then start to build the frame under the awning starting with a leg and a rafter pole then and eaves pole to another leg and its rafter pole and so on.

You will need someone to help holding the poles up. Later you might do it on your own by using temporary guy ropes to hold poles in place.

Then once the roof is up you can zip on any sides and front sections and peg them to the ground. Add guy ropes to leg pole tops and peg out.

Thank you for your informative message. We'll try and work out the pole layout from your tips.
Once again, thanks for taking the time to point us in the right direction.
Regards
Tony

Hi, sorry to jump on this post but we have just purchased a sprite compact and are looking for an awning. Just wondered if any of the previous posters still had an awning for sale or maybe know where there is one for sale. Thanks Helen
