Hi if memory serves me right your caravan will not be of bonded construction, this wasn't used till Swift Group took them over. (boy did the owners club go bonkers)So repair will be a lot easier just a question of removing an replacing the affected timbers and resealing the awning tracks. take a look at the fix it club.
