Hello everyone,
We have been caravanning for a year now and decided to take the plunge and buy a full awning. But, being unused to all things canvas related, we are struggling a bit on deciding what is the right size of awning and/or porch awning for our caravan.
Do the dimensions need to be a 100% match?
Our van is a 2008 Swift Charisma 540. From the handbook, it tells us:
Overall Height (inc. TV Aerial) - 2.70 metres
Awning A/A dimension - 9.81m
A lot of the awnings we've looked at are in the range 950-975 or 975-1000. Which one of these would be best for our van? If we bought one at 975cm does that mean it would not fit our van ie. 5cm too small?
The only ones we've seen that are exactly 9.80m are Apache awnings but they seem quite expensive (1k+). Would be grateful for any advice about Apache.
Also, what size of porch awning would we need, as the bit about the aerial is throwing us a bit?
Thank you,
Debbie |
