Awning size

[Neil&shell]

Hi and thanks in advance for your help with any advice
We have a compass omega 524
On line it says the awning size is 945
After doing the string measurements thing we got 31ft =944cm
The wife is saying we need a size 12 only
But I say we would be ok with a 12 or 13
Am I wrong or
Or dare I say it is she ?
Any advice before we purchase on would be appreciated thanks

As a back check what does your Owners Manual say.

Not all awning manufacturers use the same number for a given measurement.
For example

For Dorema awnings, measure your caravan through the awning rail from ground to ground (A-B-C) as shown in the diagram below. Then check your measurement against the chart. This will provide you with the Dorema awning size required.

SEASONAL CARAVANNERS PLEASE NOTE​

Dorema strongly recommends that anyone seasonally siting their awning should measure the caravan on the seasonal pitch prior to ordering their awning (for example, a pitch with decking could alter the awning size required).

In your case a Dorema no 12 will be correct. The 13 is much larger .
However if you research Isabella they use a different numbering system.

If you go too big you will have problems tensioning and pegging, the canvas sitting on the ground!
