awning alterations

[john_5123896]

we bought a bradcot awning to fit our millenium senator california and have recently purchased a 2006 senator wyoming. Both twin axles but the awning is now too small and short and rides up the catravan guide slot. Can it be lengthened is there anyone who could be recommended and anyone know what the actual length difeerence is, I have contacted bailey but had no reply

thanks

Awnings can be altered and made larger or smaller,in your case a triangle is put in both sides making the canvas longer at the caravan rail but of course the same size at the front.Find out what size awning you have and what size it needs to be.

A very good long established company is :-

Canvas Repair Centre Ltd,

121 Branston Road

Burton on Trent

DE14 3DD

01283 541721

Give them a call they will advise on suitability and cost,they operate a very quick collection and delivery service.

I'd also recommend Triopair at Pontefract, near Wakefield - who also run a collection service, or if you live nearby you can drop it in and collect it.

You can measure your existing awning at the end which goes into the caravan channel, in centimetres, then measure around your new van using a piece of string threaded through the awning channel (a tip is to make a loop in the end you're pulling through to and attach to something so it's easy to pull through - rather than trying to thread the free end of a piece of string). The difference between the two lengths is the piece you need to have inserted, and I think there is actually a maximum size for this insert. There's a guide on the Bradcot website which tells you how. http://www.bradcot-awnings.co.uk/products/measure.html
