Welcome to the gocaravanning.com guide to caravan and
motor home awnings.
Types of awning
 |
Caravan Awnings: an awning used as an extra room, attached to the
side of a caravan. |
 |
Porch Awnings: a part awning,
smaller than an ordinary awning and easier to erect. |
 |
Sun Canopies: an open awning
which serves as a sun shelter. |
What are Awnings
An awning is a framed shelter that is attached onto
a side of a caravan , RV or motor home to give additional
living and storage space when on a campsite. They can
be a cost effective way of increasing the space available
when you are on holiday. Take care as the extra space
available can be tempting to cram that little bit extra
in your luggage which can make you overloaded.
How Big an Awning do I need?
How to measure your Caravan - First level the van then
take a flexible tape or cord and starting at the ground,
pass the cord or tape as near to the centre of the channelling
gap as practicable and back to the ground level at the
other end to find dimension 'a'. At the widest points
of the caravan 'b' the tape or cord should drop direct
to the ground. Modern awnings are not designed to follow
the underside contours of the channelling.
Always fit and get familiar with your awning before
going on your main holiday
This advice seems obvious to most caravanners but it
has been known for people to go off abroad with out
opening the package! Apart from ensuring the correct
size and all items have been packed, you need time to
fit the awning properly without any rush and hurry.
If you need any more information on awnings you should

Keeping your awning in tip to condition - Storing
your awning
Framework should always be stored unassembled i.e.
do not store poles one inside of the other, as condensation
is a major cause of rust and pole discolouration. Watch
out for any signs of mildew whenever the awning has
been packed in a hurry without complete drying beforehand.
Mildew is a fungus which attacks fabrics only when stored
in a wet or even slightly damp condition If you are
forced to pack an awning wet, and sometimes you have
no alternative!, then do get it out on the frame again
as soon as possible. It does not matter if it is still
raining.
As no maker will guarantee awnings against storm damage,
we strongly advise Insurance cover against this and
other risks. Awnings are manufactured for touring caravans
and are not designed to be erected permanently.
