We currently have a Dorema size 15 awning, 1000 - 1025 and new van should have an awning size 16 1025 - 1050, now I'm just wondering if we could use the 15 or will it be way too short, or will we definitely have to get a bigger one? The awning size of new van is 1047.

Thanks Wendy

I'd give it a try before buying a new one, you never know, your awning may be at the top end of its size range.

We had our old awning altered twice by a Bristol based company called Kingswood Canvas. They do first class work with a forst clas service. 

The first time they put darts in it to make it slightly bigger, the second time they removed the darts when we changed the van. Both times they did a superb job. They even made us a tall annex because we couldn't get one for that awning. That was done ten years ago and my niece still uses the awning & annex to this day with no leaks & no problems.

A new one it is then I have spent an afternoon looking at awnings so think a new van deserves a new awning, but being tempted by a large porch one as it would leave side window clear and not as heavy. So will look for new home for old awning!

I though I sensed a new one on the horizon.    If you can get to the NEC, you might just get a bargain.

Edit: Sorry Wendy.  Just realised where you live, so forgetthe NEC bit!
