awning size

[neila1]

hi folks
after just buying a 2005 sterling elite searcher twin axle the book says awning size is 1050 now looking at awnings you can get 1015 to 1050 or 1050 to 1075 my idea being bigger is better lol but is it, what size have you more experianced people have got

Hi,
Pyramid awnings size their's differently (1038-1063cm) so yours falls neatly into that or Bradcot only specify a single measurement, not a range. They quote 1050cm.

Hope this helps

hi,
bear in mind manufacturers size there awnings differently,so its sometimes better to pick the awning /manufacturer that will fit your caravan better.
bradcot are similar to isabell that the measurement they give is the central measurement (-----1050-----)
dorema size there awnings different ie 1050 is........ 1050-------1075,therefore would recommend if dorema to buy the 1050 1075,the 1025--1050 would be to small
it annoys me that some manufactures state a size but dont explain fully ,that that size, unlike dorema and others, that it is the central size...isabella bradcot take note.people see a size like isabella 1050 and assume its a size 1050-1075,its actually a size app 1038-1062 with 1050 been the central figure,no wonder people are baffled.come on you manufactures starte the exact measurements of your awnings and how they are sized and people might be more inclined to purchase your products.

sorry to kinda hijack the thread but do people with this size awning use full awnings all the time or not? The reason for my asking is our van also needs a 1050 awning, we have a large porch that we use, (3.5x2.4) I want a full awning for when we're away more than say 3 nights but as my wife states, vans of this size generally only use porch awnings because of how awkward a large awning of this size would be to put up...

Same confusing issue here....... My Sterling Europa 525 states the awning measurment is 9.44m and I'm looking at buying one which is 9.22 which is an Isabella Capri. Anyone have any idea if I'd get away with it or should I hold out for a size 12 9.50m awning?

well we have gone for a new hampshire by revolition (ithink) got such a good deal and like has been said the 1050 is a range between like isabellar, like has been said i wish they told you that as it is very confuzing, we have gone just for the full one we looked at porch but decided our old small size 10 took about an hour from arriving on site to sitting down floor carpet laid and all set up so size 16 will only be a little longer ( more getting shouted at) and we mainly just go on a fri night and pack up on the sun morning.
