Hiya all,

Hi.It is so that you can put an awning up either or both sides of van...if you wish. Norm.

hi andy and jue

the awning rail is put on both sides to suit the european market i think ,failing that its for caravanners like us so we can take up more room by pitching two awnings .1 for all your gear and the other to live in .

It could also be a nice easy way of giving a good finish to the join between roof and sides.

My caravan has rails on both sides but only one will take an awning. The one on the other side doesn't have the necessary channel.

Another reason may be so that manufacturers do not have to stock two types of rail

You can also use the offside rail to mount a sun shade that stores in a bag. works for me.
