Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help - please - we have deceided that we would quite like a porch awning and have been looking at (on the internet) the Ultima 260, but I am confused about the awning rail height, some say up to 245cms others say 250 cms, we have a Bailey Indiana series 6 and have no idea if this one will fit. We go away soon, so would like to get one before we go and as the caravan is kept in storage can't easily go and measure it.  What happens if the awning goes over a window - is this a problem? We have always used a full awning in the past and we are thinking for a long weekend this would be a better and easier option.

Thanks

Julie

Hi we have an Ultima 260 and a Bailey Pagaent, there is no problem with the height of the awning rail, and it does'nt cover any windows,I don'nt think you will have a problem.

 you shouldnt have a problem, unless it rains :o(

 ours has leaked from new it is a poor fit against the side of the van :o(

 not very impressed im affraid

Got Star Camp porch awning in bag are these ok or as bad as they sound?

not even felt the material yet.

The Porchlite XL is very good. Easy to put up, very spacious (for a porch awning) and folds up into a small bag (poles included)

We have a Ranger 550/6 and an Ultima 390 - no issues at all with the height.

You do need to make sure you peg the sides as far as you can under the van to get a close fit and help stop the flapping - also i sewed an extra guy half way down one side so that i can tie it off on the pull handles on the rear of the van - of course this only works if your entrance door to your van is located towards the rear!!

we also have the 390! n have never had any problems with leaks etc

the closer u can get it to the van the less flapping , very easy to put up and so far we have been very pleased with it

We have not long bought a Bailey Pageant and part of the starter pack is a pop up porch awning. Haven't a clue what make. We only picked the awning up today but will use it this weekend ( I hope !!)

I've taken in all the tips Re pegging tight and under the van. Will let you know how we get on.
