I am looking to buy a second hand awning and have seen an inaca oasis awning for sale, but the poles have suction pads to connect to the caravan. Just wondered if anyone has advice on this. I only have a porch awning at the moment which has suction pads and I find they move.  Are they best avoided these days? Are the type of connectors new awnings have much better? 

Thanks

It is possible to have an "awning-pole rail", usually called a profile, machined into your present awning.  Then you just need the hook inserts for the ends of the poles, and the snap-on brackets which attach the poles to the profile.

I had this work done on my Trio awning and have never regretted it.

Mine was done at Canvas Repair Centre, 121 Branston Road, Burton on Trent, Staffs. DE14 3DD  Tel:  01283 541721

it sounds like the old type awning i would go for a more modern awning with the quick lock pads less chance of the poles damaging your van peter
