I would definitely go for a tight fitting awning if possible.  An awning which is too big is a disaster in my book.

We recently changed our caravan for a slightly longer one - and we have kept the same Isabella 975cm awning without having it altered.  Isabella advised that a 975 would just about fit our van, although a 989cm is their recommendation.  Both sizes use the same frame size anyway.

Although we were dubious about it being too small, we have found that it fits a treat and we are delighted to be able to keep it, without having it enlarged.

We once had a Dorema awning which was bit generous even though it was the recommended size for the van and it was a pain to try and peg out neatly.  It had creases and saggy bits (a bit like me!) no matter what we did.
