Awning advice please

Hello.

We are new to motorhoming and purchased a used Elddis Accordo 125, which had a Thule Omnistor wind-out awning roof already fitted. We have spent 14 nights in total and enjoyed every minute, rain or shine over the last couple of months.

You will see from the photo that the awning is fitted half way across the entrance door so poorly serves to keep you fully dry going in and out and questions whether it was installed in the correct position from the outset.

The advice we seek is:

Should we move the awning forward so it covers the door completely? This is linked to the second question that we would like to obtain an awning that complements this, e.g. inflatable or similar so that we have the additional cover for sitting / storage when on site. Possibly considering a drive-away awning.

Any help or suggestions gratefully received.

Thank you, Dudley & Sue.

Thank you so much for your generous responses. We have had the awning moved forward on a Thule Hymer bracket, which stands-off a little more and have also acquired a pump-up driveaway awning. Looking forward to using it a lot this season.

Regards, Dudley & Sue

I also have a 125 and am searching for an inflatable awning which doesn't foul the habitation door. My Fiamma awning is in a "moved forward" position. May I ask which awning you found and did it turn out well?
