Hi all

I have just purchased an avondale 470-2, 2003 and am thinking of buying a porch awning. We already have a full awning but due to doing lots of weekend shows have decided a porch awning would be very useful. How do they fix on to the van and do all awnings fit all vans. I have seen one on ebay I would like to bid on (a trigano ) but not sure if it will any good for my van?? Please advise

a porch awning doesnt really need to be measured for a van (we didnt for ours) but you do need to check the height is going to be ok for you van, ours is 25cm high so brought a porch awning that would fit, ours is also a twin axle and as we have a window by the door which is a dinette we had to measure from the left side of the window to the right of the open door just to make sure we brought a porch awning that was going to be wide enough to fit without being half on the window.

rattyhorses post is correct n terms of height, althought i would say a "0" was missing off the height, 25cm or around 10" is a rather small Awning

Apart from the height look online for the width and measure where you would want to place your Porch Awning just to make sure your not going to fowl any windows, door or external light.

In my opinion don't bother with any Awning unless is a quick errect Awning as you are defeating the objective.

just check if your awning rail is at the edge of your van and not 2-3 inches down (cus me friend just sold there avondale golden osprey 2004 model )but they had difficulty getting one because the roof is tappered at the edges so the rail is actually on the side.
