I do hope somebody can help me with this because I know when we ordered a new full size Dorema awning for our Elddis Riviera 505, (same as Avante 505 but a dealers special model), it was too big and we had to have it altered.
We'd foolishly gone with the awning size listed in the handbook for our model Not always to be trusted......lesson learnt the hard way
Now as if that wasn't bad enough, even more stupidly, numpty here, didn't think to write the actual awning size in the handbook which sure would have been helpful for any future full size awnings we might want, especially as we had actually done the proper measurement thingy for the alteration You know......threading string through the awning rail and reaching the ground on each side to get the accurate measurement
In brief......I've been an idiot.....no change there then
Well, until now this hasn't been a problem because we've only downsized to a porch awning in latter years as this was easier for my hubby to put up without any help/hindrance from yours truly.
Not only am I getting even more useless with the practical things owing to being a decrepit, (disabled ), but since I'd literally been taken off my feet more than once when attempting to hold on to the main centre pole of the full awning during windy days as my hubby struggled to get the awning set up, my hubby decided a porch awning was the way to go. An ageing ole decrepit hippy is not what anyone wants to see flying around on a campsite!
We got a really nice and really easy for him to put up alone Kampa Rallye 303 and have used that for the past 3 years BUT......we both really miss the space that a full size awning gives by literally doubling our living area. Anyway, my question is does anybody have or have had in the past, an Elddis Avante 505 with a full size awning so that you might be able to tell me if we'll need a Dorema size 10 or 11 please? The handbook says it's 9201mm, (but as previously stated, that's not always to be trusted).
Dorema size 10 is 875-900cm and their size 11 is 900-925cm.
I'm asking this because we now want to get a full size Dorema Air awning for next year, (hubby's decided it's worth the money after all for the extra space which he wouldn't entertain when we switched to the porch awning ), but I'm not able to help him do the string measuring thing on our storage site.
I really hope that some lovely ukcs member out there can help 
Living in hope.....Hippy Chick
