 Hi all. 

We're picking up our new Bailey Olympus next week, but a friend told me our old awning wont fit as the Alu-tech rails are a smaller size channel and so the bead on our awning is too thick to slide in!???  

Is this right? Don't really want to cough out for a new one!

We had no problem with our awning on our olympus it went on with no problem a all.

Hope you enjoy your new van as much as we do.

Thanks sue,

I think we'll just have to try it,   We've bought the same van as you, so here's hoping!

would be very surprised if that was the case as all awningsseem to use the same type of beading fingers crossed would be a big downer on bailey if that was the case as well

Thanks for all the replys guys, I'm sure it's gonna fit, like has been said it would be a bit of a downer on Bailey if they changed the size of the rail so exsisting awnings don't fit!

I don't think they would be that stupid, but we'll see on saturday!!

here's hoping!!

Ditto the above ref draught skirt....,

we have Quest Sandringham (Full) and Kensington (Porch) both fit the Peggy no problem

Our Suncamp Ultima awning fits our Olympus no problem. In fact it fits better than it did on our Ranger because the caravan is higher and it seems to go up better.

We know quite a few people with Olympuses (Olympii) and none of them have mentioned a problem with the awning rails.

Ours is also a Suncamp Ultima so that should be no problem then, Thats a weight off my mind!! 

Thanks everyone
