I am looking for a porch awning but am nervous about it fitting my caravan which only has a rail height of approx 227cm.The caravan is a Fleetwood Garland 148-4 1992.
Does anyone know of a porch awning that would fit this height?
I did try a Quest Coniston260 porch awning but it would not fit (could'nt get it to reach the side of the caravan as the fibre poles were pulling it out too far). The Kampa Rally260 has adjustable front legs so wondered if it might fit? Also might the Riviera swift 340 lightweight fit as it has external steel poles?
I am also stuggling to find an awning that will fit my van (220cm rail height) as the majority seem to be designed for 235cm-250cm heights.
I have asked in several caravan stores and their advice has been to look at things like the Kampa Pod, OR Movelite and Sunncamp driveaway awnings. These are designed for things like the Mazda Bongos, VWs and van conversions and have an awning rail height of 180cm - 240cm. Plenty of these to look at on eBay.
Hi, would suggest with the Coniston it's the awning not the van. We bought one at the NEC this year, after much deliberation about van height, (also a fleetwood but 271cm high!) We struggle to get them to touch the ground.
The 260 doesnt touch the sides of ours either. I was cross coz the sales chap checked his 'guide' for us, feel a bit of a mug now!
