I am in the process of changing my caravan and currently have a Ventura Atlantic 1050 cms , problem is awning rail length if the new van is 1080 cms. I have called to get a quote for having it altered and with transport and vat costs its £285.00
Does anyone know if a 1050 would have enough play in it for a 1080 awning channel? The awning is hardly used and too good to sell cheaply as would only to have to replace it again? Problem is I only use a full awning for our main summer holiday in France or Italy and it is nit worth buying a whole new awning?
Thanks
Hi Dave,we too have just had our Atlantic altered to fit our new van ,500 mm to be exact,I thin that a difference of 300mm would cause problems.the company we used was Trio Pair ,the service was terrific,we had to look twice to find the alteration and all for £220 .colection by courier and returned the same,
Have you considered nicking the beading and making it into a large porch awning using a pole against the caravan near the back? Many people do this to save buying a new awning. I have done it with an Isabella pole and pad set. See my picture. [/IMG]
I would try it first, as some time ago we changed a van and specification said we needed an awning 25cms longer than our existing one, but found it still fitted perfectly with still some length to spare

Certainly worth trying. I have just changed my van and found exactly the same thing with my Isabella awning. As I only bought the awning earlier this year, I wasn't looking forward to replacing it or getting it altered!
