Hi

We have just purchased our first caravan - a 1992 Abbey Piper 14.4L EX, moving on from our Conway ExplorerTrailer Tent.  As we're new to caravanning and to be honest don't really know much, wondering if anyone can advise which size awning we need to look at getting.  Any help would be appreciated.  Many Thanks

Probably someone on here will be able to give you the size you need for your particular model/year, but if not you can measure it with a length of washing line, for instance, as in this diagram.

measure from the ground through the awning channel and down to the ground (you could use a piece of string)
this is the size awning you would require
