It depends on your van and where your door and windows are situated really. I personally do not like them cutting across windows although others don't mind.
Kampa do a range of sizes, we have a Rally 200 but they also do a 260,330 and 390.
The Rally is a lightweight awning, we did have a Quattro (older style) ours had a few problems but it took as long as a full awning to put up.

OK so not so much the size of the van ("A Frame") but the size of the awning in proportion to position of doors and windows...........this shounds harder than i had originally thought..................17

 

Wish me luck!

We converted a full awning into a combi awning. We measured from the ground at the front to in between the window and door back to the ground, and bought a Nr 14 foot full awning. Them measured from the ground where the awning will be in between the door and window ours was about 235cm, then from half way through the mud flat on the awning along the beading make a mark, then break the beading.
We also have a Isabella combi small porch awning so we already have the pads to keep the awning to the van.
Didnt want a full awning waste of space just for 2 of us
