We have an old caravan (1992) but need a new awning for it.  I'm loathe to spend lots of money because we're likely to replace the caravan in the next 3-5 years, and we only tend to go away a couple of times a year. 

Have searched classifieds on here, am currently watching a load on ebay, have had a quick look in our local paper's classifieds and Preloved, but does anyone else have any more ideas?

We're loooking for something that will fit a ground to ground measurement of 864cm.

Hope someone has some ideas?

Kathryn

Check with your local dealers quite often they have pre owned ones that have come in with traded vans, I know our local discover dealer has them also Glossop caravans advertise pre owned ones on their web site.

Hope this helps.

is a 900cm awning too large??
It fitted my grampian 894cm perfectly.

I have a harrison ashton, full awning, Very good condition.

Except one tiny hole (less than 5mm) i made the 1st time i used it.. silly idea putting them little spikes on the top poles.

Just uploaded a small picture of the awning to the gallery. If you require a larger pic let me know your email address.

In the midlands but going to mablethorpe next sunday (24th)

Tamworth Camping and Jacksons are both really helpful, jacksons maybe have some in as there is a caavan dealer right next door to them (west midlands caravans)

We ave found them most helpful in the past.

If you are going to be replacing the awning in a few years time then maybe the Lichfield awning might suit, as mentioned by jjim above.  They sell buy it now on ebay for £99.  They are an all in one but the front does roll up.  If it's only for a few years and you can't find a cheaper one 2ndhand it may suit?
