We have just purchased a Sprite Alpine 2 2014 and bought a full awning at the same time which unfortunateley did not fit. The awning was threaded through the awning rail from the front but at the back there was no outlet in the rail to balance the awning lenght leaving the end too far off the ground to peg down. Does anyone out there know of a full or porch awning to fit such a caravan?

Google is telling me that if you want a full awning the correct size for your caravan is 914 cm. What does your present one measure?

Full awnings usually have a full thickness beading which finishes a couple of feet above ground level at each end. The end sections are therefore not held in the awning channel and can be adjusted outwards to suit the ground level.

The awning rail should have a couple of places front and rear of the caravan.

If you're saying it doesn't have the openings at the rear I'd take it back to the dealer and tell them to sort it. Quite a simple job but the tool required isn't cheap!
