Awning Size

[judsley]

Hi,
I've just bought a 2010 Swift Challenger 540 which the Isabella web site says the A measurement is 984. It then says the Isabella measurement is 975 / 989. Swift's web site says the A measurement is 987.
Has any one got any advice as to which Isabella awning I go for (i.e. the 975 or 989 one)? I just don't want to make an expensive mistake!!
If I went for the 975 size, wouldn't it make the awning a bit tight if the pitch wasn't totally flat?
Thanks for any advice.
Jon

A full awning is measured in centimetres from ground-to-ground, ie the AA measurement. One awning size covers a spread of measurements. The Isabella size 975/989 is a single size covering those AA measurements, therefore your van size 987 comes within the specified size range. An awning is better to be tight, ie the mud wall not completely flat on the ground than if it is loose and you can't peg the canvas tight.

Thanks, It just confused me as some other caravan models just had the one measurement!
I'm looking at getting the Ambassador Moonlight so the confirmation from you helps loads!
