Hi there, can anyone give me some advice on awning sizes, I have been told that my awning rail is 869, so an 850-875 will fit, is this correct?? also i want an isabella awning but not sure about the size to get, the isabella awnings only shows sizes in single like 850 or 875, which one do I go for I have seen several second hand ones some are 850s and some are 875s i dont know which size to go for as I will be buying second hand i wont be able to return it if it doesnt fit, (we have a coachman mirage lux 440/5 1998 if thats any help)
thanks in advance Lisa
Check the actual floor to floor (via the awning rail) measurement as shown here, using a length of string, washing line etc. If it's 858cm, for example, a Kampa 850 awning would be OK, covering the range from 838cm to 863cm, or Dorema or Sunncamp Size 9 would cover 850cm to 875cm.
ben, the isabella site itself says my model is 875 size, why would I need a 975 for 869 measurement??? that totally doesnt make any sense to me at all...what is your thinking behind that? is there a rule of thumb I should follow?
I have the awning measurement of 869 what I am asking is would an 850 isabella fit as the next size is 875 or should I just stick to the 875+ measurement?
Sorry I meant to put 875cm sorry. "ashamed"
It won't fit as it will be too tight and if it just did make it round your rail that's fine for sites that have level ground but not when it's sloping etc so you would be better with the 875 as it will give you more tolerance with the awning.
Hi again, we have now measured the rail ourselves with string ground to ground , the string measures 830 this is definite now, so what is the largest we could go for before its too baggy , we wouldn go for anything with a smaller size but the 850 seem to go 850 to 875 will this be too big????
thanks in advance Lisa
The Isabella sizes give you a leeway of 13 cm either way, so the 825 is intended to fit an awningnrail that's between 812 and 838 and an 850 will fit a rail that measures 837 to 863cm. If younare sure that the A measurement ground to ground is 830 then you need an 825cm awning.
