I know there are loads of threads on this subject but couldn't find anything relevant to my query.

I have a dinky little Fisher Holivan which has a shipping length of just12' and a body length of 9' 8". Overall height is only 7' 6".
There was a small 1-2-Trio porch awning with the van but it is tiny and not much use as I need somewhere to put a table and chairs and space for the boys to play.

The problem I have is that nobody seems to make an awning small enough for my little caravan!!
I have looked at some porch awnings and think this will be what I'll have to get - particulalry been looking at the Sunncamp Galaxy porch awning with annexe.

Can anyone recommend a suitable awning to fit Holi?
Is the Sunncamp Galaxy a good choice?
If I purchase a porch awning that will virtually cover her entire body length, will this cause a problem when fitting it?
Will it be too drafty?
Will I be charged for a full awning on site even though it will be a porch awning?

Still very new to this caravanning lark so any help or advice would be very much appreciated.

You can get awning designed for small motorhomes (eg. VW campers), which are effectively a freestanding tent, with a tunnel to connect to the caravan. That might work for you?

Yup a drive away awning, we had one when we had a titchy van and it worked well. We had an Outdoor Revolution one they are widely available.

ask here as they make awnings and may be able to make yours to measurement.

the only silly question is the one you do not ask.

If you measure your awning rail length it might help, especially as I have a small awning from a Lunar Meteorite that is about to go on Ebay/here.
PM me the details.
