Hi I've just got a pennine pullman 1988 with awning and extension does any on no where I can get the front middle part for the awning poles I've been told it's a cross piece
Thanks
If you Google; 'Blue Sky Pennine Awning' (not allowed to link directly to it) there are various links there, with a pole schematic for the 6 berth Pennine models. If you can let us know which part it is you're missing, I can have a look out for you.

Unfortunately the metal ones are very different. The tubes are much longer, to take the extra weight of the metal frame and have a sprung loaded button connection with the various poles.

I think you are looking for something that doesn't exist.
The front frame ie side to side is a set of poles that slot together. There are 3 legs (L1-3), one each side and one in the middle.
There are 3 short poles (about 12")(C1-3) that extend through the awning material and hold up a small canopy on the front of the awning.
There are 5 poles from the cabin with a hook on one end (goes into the cabin uprights) and a plastic clip at the other which clips onto the front frame (similar to these http://www.youcancaravan.co.uk/awnings-c2/frames-poles-spare-parts-c16/19mm-c-clip-fitting-to-22mm-pole-p440 )(R1-5)
The picture I have added is looking at the piece of frame from the front. The frame goes to the left and right, the leg goes in the bottom and the short pole sticks out of the front. I would take more photo's but my awning poles are in the camper and its too wet to open at the moment. The part I've photographed is from an 1980's Pullman.
Here is a plan from my old Pullman
Hope this helps, hopefully Blue Sky Pennine might give more info, he is the fountain of lots of knowledge on these.
Where are you based, you haven't put it in your info....
Yea I think your right been told all different things but I didn't have the piece so wasn't sure have you got a spare one or do you know where I might be able to get one thanks I'm in norfolk
If you are interested you can have the one in the picture for £10 delivered. If you do Paypal then that would be the easiest method to the above email as a gift.
I will obviously need your name and address to sent the item.
The easiest way to tell if you are looking for a 5 way piece, or a 4 way, like the one in Dad1UK's picture is to have a look at the equivalent corner jointing pieces.
Over the years, Pennine used a number of different connection options, including spring loaded buttons on the poles, simple hook and loops, and the plastic bayonet style twist and turn connectors.
What would probably help to clarify this is you had those corner joints, marked X and Z, in the diagram above. If we know what they look like (and, in particular the back of them, where poles R1 and R5 connect to them) then we can be sure of what you are looking for. I think the part you are looking for does exist, but it may, or may not, be relevant to your own awning. I do have images, myself, but not able to upload them, and not allowed to link to them, so if you have a picture of those corner joints, it would be a big help.
