Hi all.

Just taken delivery of our (new to us) 2010 Coachman Wanderer 19/4.

Best info is that it is a dealer special based on the Amara 560.

The Memsahib has commanded that I muster a 3/4 awning for it. Her wishes are my commands.

Can anyone recommend a 3/4 awning that doesn't conflict with doors windows etc on this model van ?

..............
Andy

I think you need to measure the area you want to cover then google for that size, thats what I do. or you could be lazy and get someone to do the work for you.

You'll probably need about a 3 meter one, best bet is go armed with measurements like Cliff said and go for a day out at a showroom and look and feel at loads of makes as lots of varations.

Budget?
Do you plan on long trips or quick weekends?
Air or Pole?
Are you a fairweather caravanner or plan on going all year round?
Kids/grandkids in tow?

Not an easy decision to make and rarely got right the first time. May be able to get a 2nd hand one first see how you go with it before shelling out on a new one as they are in short supply at the moment.

Porch awnings come in all different sizes so there will definitely be one that fits your requirements. We have an Isabella Magnum 400 which is pretty big for a porch but I can’t comment on whether it would be suitable for the window positions on your caravan. When we were buying ours we measured from just to the left of the door to just to left of the rear window and then again just to the right of the rear window and we knew then that anything in between those sizes would be unsuitable as it would come down the middle of the rear window. I think you need to get out your tape measure and do a few measurements. Draw a diagram and take it with you to a dealers to have a look at all the different options.

Thanks for input all, much appreciated.

Been having a quick search on-line, one that seems to fit the bill is a

Leisurewize Ontario 390   Anyone had any experience of this manufacturer and awning model ?

390 is the size of the porch awning from the front of the caravan to the back so any make of 390 cms. awning will be suitable, not just the Leisurewize Ontario model. You just have to get a tape measure and see where the 390 distance falls on the caravan side so it misses any windows, marker lights and fridge vents etc.
