Hi all

I'm new on this forum aqnd new to caravanning so plesae bear with me if i ask daft questions!!!

I have an Abbey Spectrum 518 caravan and need a new awning for it. I have measured the awing rail and it is 940cm. I have seen on a few websites that to measure for an awning i need to measure from ground to ground so this measures 1020cm.

My question is this, do i need to buy a 940 or 1020cm awning?

Thanks for any help!!

Like Vespanutuk said: Measure through the awning rail from ground to ground. If that's 1020 cm (or 10,20 metre) that's what you need.
