visit the swift owners club or contact any leading awning seller, they have them all on a list, you dont have to buy from them. Hope that helps...........

Hi Houndog

According to the massive Isabella database, on which you can search most caravan models, available here:-

http://62.242.39.22:591/amaal/uk/

The 1992 Swift Challenger 490/5L and 490/5SE both have an a-measurement of 904cm.  If buying an Isabella, you would then need their nearest size which is a 900cm.  For other makes, you would need to see which of their awning sizes comes closest to 904cm.

- Tip when using the database, don't enter too much detail into the 'search' fields or it won't return any results.  In this case, I entered just 'Swift' and then scrolled through the pages of results to look for the match.

Hope this helps.

9.04 m or as Ulti-mates said 904CM

Look here on my web I have a 470/2SE 1990 and copied all of the handbook it is from 1990, it has all of the swift models from around 1990
