I would assume that 10.75m = 1075 in an awning size. Therefore, your 1000 awning will be 75cm too short. Never heard of lengthening an awning with an extra pole?!?!?! You can have them professionally altered by sewing in an extra bit of material in the roof which may be an option.

I'm sure someone will be along shortly with the name of a good awning alteration company.

Hi,we've got the Quattro ES,our awning size is 1025-1049.We accidently bought a 1050-1075 awning last year (was mis-sold it,told us it was right size),it was way too big for the Quattro.Luckily managed to sell it,and still have our old one to use.I would just check on the size before getting it altered?

Just didn't want you to go and get it extended to 1075 only to find its too big.
