hi weve just purchased our 1st caravan woo hoo (a 1991 swift challenger 490/5) and were so excited.  but in my excitement ive purchased a second hand bradcot renissaince 965 and have since found out (though not entirely sure) that the size we need is a 904 ???

help im confused ? we dont fetch the caravan till next week, but the lady ive purchased it off has said she has another buyer if it doesn't fit our caravan but the other buyer doesn't want to wait a week.

 

weve paid £300 for it which compared to price new i think its a bargain, but not if it

doesn't fit - or could we make it fit ? can you adapt them ?

really hope somebody can help

 

many thanks in advanvce  Lesley & karl

Assuming the 904 is the correct size you need, the 965 is too long by 61 cm, and will be draping along the floor by 30cm each side, which is about a foot. It'll look awful, be very loose and get horribly muddy.

So I'd get your money back while you have the chance

We've all been through the same learning curve, my first awning didn't fit either

yes the awning is too large for yours.hope you can resell it without much trouble. you are not the first as we bought one in the first days of our caravan holidays.he was confident it would fit ours and after four people and three hours trying to fit it,we took it back.

the only silly question is the one you do not ask.

I have a Dorema awning that I want to sell. It was used on a Swift Challenger 470se, is that any use to you?
