Hi,

We have a 1988 swift challenger which is our fiirst caravan. We don't have an awning and I have no experience at all with using one or putting one up or anything.

We like the look of the suncamp 390 ultima (and the price) and so we measured our awning rail yesterday. The width of the 390 is obviousley 390cm and our awning rail along the top is 387cm, just 3cm short.

I have noticed on the full awnings that they have a bit of difference in size so my question is do you think it will fit or am I best avoiding it altogether??

Thank you so much for all your valuable advice, I wouldn't have a clue otherwise!

Lisa

Buy a proper 2nd hand full awning, it will fit your van better, wont have flappy gaps at the sides and wont leak.

Our sunncamp didn't leak and it was a lot easier to put up. The gaps were no bigger than on the porch awning we have now.

I think the sunncamp and similar lightweights are very good value.
