Frequently Asked Questions
what about awning sizes?

Awning sizes are normally given as a ground to ground measurement, i.e. measure from a point on the ground at the front of the caravan directly under the foremost projection of the awning rail (which occurs about waist height), up to this foremost point and then up and around the awning rail, to the rearmost point of the awning rail. Again at about waist height, and then vertically down to the ground. This gives the awning size required, which is normally expressed in centimetres and rounded to the nearest 25 cms.

These are our suggestions for awning sizes however please note:

The following sizes are given as a guide only, we accept no responsibility for variances in these figures for individual caravans. The advice is to check the individual caravan and take advice from an awning specialist BEFORE buying an awning.

Model Size
CASALETTE 725
CASETTA 775
COSMOPOLITAN 800
CARIBBEAN 825
CONTINENTAL 900
COMMANDER / COUNTESS / S / SX (1980-2003)
112 725
132 750
152/4** 800
162 875
184 925

We recommend that pads are used for awning poles and that brackets are NOT screwed to the caravan sides. Nor should press studs be screwed through the aluminium panels for the awning skirt.

If absolutely necessary, studs can be fitted on the centre line of the lower waist rail (The screw passing through the plastic filler strip) but mastic must be applied behind the entire filler strip and to the screwholes.

Blocks are fitted in the sides of the caravans to take the weight of awning poles, the position of these is shown in the caravan handbook.

Customers are to be reminded of our service upgrade relating to awning rails.

**NB In some of our old brochures etc the size of the awnings for the 1993/6 152/154 models was quoted as 825cm, this is incorrect, the size is 800cm for all 152/ 154 models.
