Hi, have just bought this caravan, we are after a full awning to go with this van. Can anyone recommend one?
Thanks

What do you want from an awning? Every panel zips out, optional bedroom annexes that zip into the sides?

Standard 6ft front depth or an extended 8ft one or one that you can do either?

Steel poles, Aluminium poles, fibreglass poles or inflatable beams?

So many choices and then the price, from a few hundred to well over a thousand.

Best option try a local caravan shop with an awning display.

Wow so much choice!
We are just after something fairly robust that the dogs can sleep in. Two awnings came with the caravan but a porch awning and a three quarter size and both are lightweight so we want something stronger and a little bigger that will keep the dogs snug.
Will do as you suggest thanks!

Hi Jjools
Check out the Dorema website on the factory clearance section.
I purchased mine from there & collected it in person.
The factory is in Castleford so not far away from you
Looking at the specification of your van you need a size 13 awning they have s choice of 2 starting at £619 & £664
Mine is now 7 years old & still looks good ( just had it extended to fit new to me van)
Also l purchased the easy grip clamps & awning pads from factory
Hope this helps
Graham

Hi Gray,
Thanks for that- seems a perfect idea. Will go down that route I think. Glad you've said size 13 as that's what we thought it should be!
Thanks again
Jjools
