Hi

We have just got a SPRITE ALPINE, going off the number etched on the windows( the plate on the chassis we can't read it)

 X85 xxxxxx & what the  nice caravan service man told us that it's a 1985/86 model.

So we are looking for an awning, but we don't know where to start, so we got around £200-300 to spend

any help gratefully received

First job is to measure the length of the awning rail. Best to use a bit of string. Start at the ground at one end, thread the string all the way round the awning rail down to the ground at the other end.

Measure it in metres and then you look for an awning that has a size range that will fit your van.
You'll probably get a measurement around 8 or 9 metres as an example.
