Hi all, just returned to a caravan after trying motorhoming for the third time. One thing we did love about the motorhome was the wind out canopy awning that was up in a minute or so. We don’t really need an enclosed awning and like the idea of adding a roll out canopy to our new caravan. I have come across a few comments about potentially damaging the side of the caravan and not clearing awning lights etc. Really like the Thule Omnistore 1200. Can anyone give advice from using one of these on their caravan please?

Back to OP.  I have used mine for years and whilst it does cover the awning light when in it's bag it has not damaged it nor has it made any marks on my caravan; the Fiamma has pads built into the bag.  If you get one that slides into the awning rail remember to get the 'lugs' that hold it in position on the rail - you need 2,  one either end of the bag.  We do most of our touring in warmer climates so I usually fit my Fiamma to the caravan before our first trip and remove it for the winter.
