Hi,

if you look at the Bailey Website for the dimensions you’ll see the Olympus listed as being 2.63m high. http://www.baileyolympus.co.uk/ 

A quick search online for the Ultima 260 and I found it listed as:- 

·  To fit caravan heights 235cm – 250cm

Looks like you're out of luck. Did the people selling you the awning say it was suitable? In which case you might have some redress...

We have measured the caravan and it is 2.43m from awning rail  to ground.   I know the brochure says higher.   Dealer sold us caravan and then awning, so am hoping to force them to take it back!   They have admitted there is a problem with the 'skirt' that goes on the bottom rail of the caravan and offered us a longer skirt, but haven't got back to me re the actual unsuitability of the awning.

I have photographs that I intend to use - just wanted to make sure we haven't missed anything before we go into 'battle'.

Hi we also have an olympus and the same awning as yourself and it fits perfectly.

Good result today - dealer has taken awning back & is looking at suitable replacement or giving us full refund.

I will be scouring internet for options - if anyone has any recommendations (or what not to buy), all ideas very welcome.

Hi Clair

We got full refund from dealer and decided to do without an awning due to our experience.   Lesson learned I reckon!
