Roughly for your van a 875 will fit.  According to Glossop Caravans a brand new Pyramid Tuscany in Burgandy will cost £315.  They also do second hand awnings.

Unless you need an extra bedroom annexe or extensions why not buy a lightweight awning 260 size, These will fit all but the smallest of caravans.

Hi, thanks for your replies. Went to see Spite - not a well looked after van!
Ended up buying another van on our way home.( had contacted seller in the day).This van is a Jubilee envoy 17ft.It has a porch awning ( not sure of size}) so would need to possibly buy a full size awning. I assume a lightweight 260 would be ok ? All advice welcome.

260 will fit anything from 14ft upwards, Possibly 12ft depending on the roofline.

Depends how much space you need. If the roof pitch is a problem try looking for a Quest Romany 300, Lightweight awning The roof section is even shorter as the sides extend outwards not vertical, Easy to erect single front metal pole & one roof support inside.

Be careful seems they sell a quest romany 300 which is a full prch awning also, heavier material and fibreglass poles.
