Hello
we are quite new to caravanning and are interested in trying an awning ideally we'd buy a second-hand one. We don't want a full awning - a porch one or a canopy would be fine. I'm getting a bit confused with sizes though and could use some advice from seasoned caravanners!
Our van is a Bailey Orion. The spec tells me that the height is 263 cm. Most awnings seem to go to 250. I've seen a good 2nd hand one that is 250cm height. Is there enough give in these things to get away with those 13 cms or would it be a disaster?
It's a bit confusing looking at the spec as it tells us awning size is 925cm. But some awnings seem to be sized in single digit numbers and I have no idea how this works. E.g. is a 925 awning a full awning that might also be called a size 9 or whatever?
We would also consider a canopy potentially adding side walls.They look a lot more straightforward.
Any advice?
Many thanks.
Coco
