Hi, just wondering if anyone knows whether you can alter/reduce the size of a vintage awning? I have a 1971 Mini Glen caravan and am looking for a vintage awning for it. The smallest I have seen is for a 10 foot caravan, but the Mini Glen is 8.5-9 foot. I am quite handy with sewing machines/textiles but not knowledgeable about awnings.
Any advice would be gratefully received!
As you are reducing the size there obviously won't be a problem matching the canvas, if you get it done I would ask them for the pieces they have cut out in case of future damage which may need a patch.
All the removed fabric is taken from the roof, typically narrowing two triangles that abut the side panels.
You can't make big changes, the limit being about a metre from the "A" length at the most.
Older awnings originally designed for "boat" roof caravans would be better than an awning for a modern flat roof caravan with its high awning rail. That effectively means a pre mid nineties awning being the more suitable.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
