 We have a series 6 Burgundy and like you bought the wrong size, the awning we have fits although  a bit neat it is a 1000cms venturer however as we are changing to a new  Motorhome next year i wont bother changing it now

 i think a 1020 would be more appropriate for the Burgundy

will this help?

We have a Pageant S6 Burgundy - and a Dorema Montana size 15 

You can see a picture in my gallery.   The little man is Mac

Hello Gary

When we bought our pageant series 5 provence, I rang Dorema, the man there was superb, he told me what size awning we needed, we went through the spec & with his adice built up a nice package. It was delired to the house within two days & fitted the caravan like a glove.

No, the roof doesn't fill when it rains. Because of the length of the awning, there are an additional two poles (ie five in total) from the van to the front, and two more verticals at the front to the ground.  All the front and end panels are removable - which is great for erecting it, as only have the weight of the roof to thread through the awning channel.  Also not so much for the OH to hang onto when its windy, when I'm putting the poles in and tensioning etc.

We also have an Isabella porch awning (came with the last van).  Definite difference in quality compared to the Dorema (thickness of material etc), but helluva lot more expensive.   Where the Isabella is also better is having tensioning tabs for the vertical poles to be placed into - this makes erecting much easier when its windy.  With the Dorema, its sometimes necessary to put a tempory peg at the front corners, just to hold it down.  Perhaps if someone from Dorema reads this, might be a product improvement to consider - and not very expensive addition either

Did you buy the awning Gary. My buyer turned up & took our van, he couldn't run to the complete outfit so our Dorema Senator lux is now for sale, it's the blue/grey one has all the available extras on it including tall matching annexes with inner bedrooms & is size 14. Fits a Bailey pageant provence series 5 like a glove. 

It's 26 months old & been used 5 times from new.The only holes in it are a few in the bottom of the mudwal to pin it down.

Anyone have any idea what it's worth. If I can't get a good price for it, I'll leave it in the attic until we buy another van, that'll probably be a year away though.
