An awning can be described as an attachment that is much like a tent. It can be attached to your caravan, motorhome or campervan to provide extra space for storage, living, or it can even be used as an extra bedroom. There are many different types of awning available such as full awnings, porch awnings and canopy or cassette awnings. Whichever type of awning you’re looking for, it’s important to know the awning size of your caravan as each model requires a different size in order for it to attach on to your caravan properly.
