I recently bought an Avonmore Eagle and have found out that , due to the lower roof line, your standard Porch awning wont fit!! Surely someboby out there must have

had this situation, and maybe could help. We are touring this summer in Europe and would find our full awning a bit of a trial.

Very interested in any bright ideas!!

Regards to all,

Thankyou both re responce about Porch awning. So far, so good

I was advised of a company in Bristol that will put a triangular piece onto awnings, to make the longer to fit longer vans.  The way it was described was that the additiona bits added was a long triangle at either end of the roof section,to run the width of the awning from the van to the outer edge.  This has the effect of making the awning slightly longer, so those wishing not to have to purchase another awning if they get a slightly bigger van wouldn't have to.

I was wondering if the opposite was also possible.  Take a slither off of this part of the awning.

The company concerned charged around £100 to extend, so not sure if this would price this out as a choice.

Also, is this a Canvas conventional awning?  If not a canvas awning, please ignore the above. Lol.

How about one of these, Khyam ridgidome Motorhome annexe.

You can attache it, or not as it is a free standing tent in it's own right.  with the annexe sides rolled in and the doors and windows open you have a passable gazebo. Also a two berth inner tent available should you need one.  Quick erect system.  Spot on for touring

Great response, Maybe someone out there has a porch awning , in good condition,and at least 9 x 7, that will fit my van. Photos and good price would be nice.

What is the awning rail height of your caravan?

I have a tiny little 2 berth van and struggled to find a suitable awning  - I now have 3 and none of them are quite right!!

In the end, as a temporary measure to give me some shade/protection, I got one of these:
