Getting a Lunar Ariva 2 berth 2005 caravan but have no idea of what awning to get. Need only a porch awning for wheelchair and wet shoes & gear to hang before going inside.

Thought about the nylon ones or even a better quality one to stay firmer in bad weather.

Advice please;size,price & where from.

Thanks

We also have a canopy ( which has been adapted from a tent canopy ) which we use on summer days instead of our lightweight awning, it provides shelter from showers but still allows us to sit outside. I will have to upload a photo. We have found this very useful and was only about £2

 

 

A Photo would be great thanks. The Lunar is 5.17long x 2.02wide so do not know much about it yet

Hi Beanpark, As you know we added a "porch" awning to our FC last year and the word porch seems to have grown a bit from what I imagined one would be like.

This is the Outdoor Revolution Porch Awning and at 3m X 3m it would take your wheelchair, wet gear and a party as well.

Lobby we also got an awning from Lisa for ther Fiesta and we are even wondering if it would fit the 2 berth Lunar we are getting next week.

Bob thinks he saw an awning rail bit on the edge near the zips she puts on. But as it is at my big sisters in Harlow we cannot be sure. It would be an ideal thing is so.

Can you see if yours still has the awning rail connection please. Thanks

By the way if we have a party will invite you if your around

chrissie ,wait till you get the van ,most porch awnings depend on a straight section of awning rail to fit correctly ,as your van like ours is a two berth it might cause a problem ,we ordered a kampa 260 porch awning for ours and just before picking it up i realised i didn't have 260cm of straight rail on the van as it dips at the front for the window slope ,thankfully now got a full awning for ours off of the free adverts on here ,and there a lot easier to put up than the f.c ones

 

Thank you Black Fox I will be doing just that as if it does not fit I then have a. adapted Fiesta awning for sale not used much or it may just fit for a porch. Well shall see next week when it all happens.

Thank you

Thanks Lobby that is great, it is a good possibilty it will fit the Lunar and save some money as Lisa's one is easy to put up now we know how that is.

Thanks again
