We've got a Trigano Luna Air 280 awning on out Bailey 430/4. We looked at getting bigger ones, but none would fit. Ours goes from the left of the door, keeping the left front window free, and covers part of the rear access door. However, again the window over the bed is clear of the awning.
Just hope your 430/4 is better than ours. When you take delivery, look inside at the front carefully, the GRP lining is not bonded to the shell of the van, if you see or can feel any rippling or bubbling of this lining REJECT THE VAN, it will only get worse and involve a major repair. Look really carefully around the roof vent. Shoddy assembly is the cause here coupled with poor design.
Also look at how well the back panel has been fitted. There is a join across the roof above the bed (hence the plastic strip across the roof inside). Check very carefully that the back part of the roof is level at the top on each side. Ours rises up from the join towards the rear of the van so that there is a permanent pool of water on the roof, and when the narrow plastic strip glued on the roof to cover the join fails as ours did after 10 months, you don't just get damp in, but a torrent of water, most likely straight onto the bed. More evidence of shoddy workmanship and a poor design.
Also if your car is close to the towing limit, do check the actual plated weight (its inside the gas locker at the back), on ours it is a lot more than the advertised weight, and even the weight shown on the sticker on the side of the van.
Ask me how I know these things.... and good luck with your van.
