Hi guys,

We have just bought our first caravan and are looking for a bit of help on awning sizes. The caravan is an Avondale perle custom Olympus 1992. The awning size is 839cm (a length) but the caravan is 18' shipping length (from caravan talk website). When looking on eBay do I need to find that specific size or could I get something a bit bigger. I have seen a nice one 800-825 which doesn't seem too far off but I am fearful that this may lift of the floor at both ends due to being short. Any guidance gratefully received.

Cheers

800 - 825 will be too short. 825 - 850 would probably be OK. You need one the correct size or very slightly bigger, if you need to put a wedge under your wheel it will increase the a measurement by 2x the wedge thickness. Too big and it will never pitch taut.
