Hi Mike

This weekend I decided to purchase an awning for my new van. Before I went I ran some string from ground to ground. Yes it is a ball ache but worth it. I measured 948. Both Sterling and Isabella said 968. The vey helpful dealer said if I go by my measurements and it doesn't fit, it is down to me. If we go on their advice and it is wrong, they will change it. This I did, and I was correct. It took two journeys but was worth it. If you do not want to do it yourself, take you van to the supplier and get them to measure it. If they won't do it, buy elsewhere.
