As the title suggests I was wondering if a smaller awning is available for my TT? I'm sure I saw an Acropolis for sale with an additional smaller awning but, as Google can't seem to find anything (new/2nd hand) for sale, I'm doubting myself.

Would the poles/awning from a different model of Raclet fit, say the flores 230 or 380, or the sprint for example? I don't want to spend a great deal - 2nd hand from a spares/repairs would be ideal (colour not matching not an issue) - but it would need to zip together, obviously.

Having the full size is fine for large gatherings/long outings but it'd be nice to have a slightly smaller one for the GP weekend and such like.

Any help greatly appreciated, as always!!

Many thanks,
Scott

Hi Kybo,

There's a small ad on here you might be interested in.

Failing that, you could try Burcroft Camping. They often have Raclet awnings/extensions etc for sale second hand, but they are closed until 1st March. Tel:- 01604 785400.

Hope this is of some help

Hi camperclan,

Thanks for posting.

Well, that's just typical, isn't it!! LOL I can't believe I went through Google page after page looking for one of these and, low and behold, there's one on this very site right underneath my nose.  Not sure the boss will go for it, costing that much (not that I know what the retail value is on these things) as we've only just bought the Acropolis.

Burcroft camping - never heard of them so I'll be searching them out, for sure.

If anyone knows anywhere else I'd be happy to hear from you. Or if anyone knows which smaller awnings from other models would be compatible I can broaden my search.

Thanks again,
Scott

Also, how hard would it be to modify an awning from another make? Is it at all possible? What must I consider, other than zip compatibility and the width of the thing?

I've seen a couple of cheap Conway awnings - possible?

I'm getting desparate now as I've recently found out that my TT, as it stands, is too long for a pitch at Whittlebury for the F1 GP, even if I bought an extra vehicle plot. They are very strict and can remove you if you go over your plot size (if there's no space)

Thanks,
Scott

Hey Dave,

Unfortunately, it's not a trade I'm after as we would have been using the large awning for family holidays.

Thanks,
Scott
