Which Awning Fits My Caravan?

Choosing the right awning isn’t about brand names or price. It’s about fit, usage, and how you actually camp.

  • ✔ Plain-English advice
  • ✔ No sales pressure
  • ✔ Avoid expensive mistakes

Step 1: Know Your Caravan’s Awning Size

The single most important factor is your caravan’s A-measurement — the length of the awning rail from ground to ground.

This measurement determines which full awnings will fit. Guessing here is how most people end up with the wrong awning.

Step 2: How Do You Use Your Caravan?

The right awning depends more on how you camp than the caravan itself.

Step 3: Air or Pole?

This is a comfort and preference decision — not a quality one.

Neither option is “better” — they simply suit different people.

Where and when you camp matters. Weather exposure is often overlooked.
