It all depends on how long the strait part of your awning rail is ? ( where it will hang )

Say if its 4mts ? if you decide to put the sides on will they catch-n-scratch the windows ??

A tape measure to start with would help 😱)

Then find out what lengths they are made in

Hi, sprocket the reason i asked is the caravan is in storage and i'm going to the SECC show at the weekend so maybe get one there. i can't get to the caravan before then.

Thanks

We have the 2.8m Zip and its quite difficult to roll up on your own so anything bigger would get harder as the size increases

If its 2 of you its easier of course

I know several people will say that they can manage a huge Fiamma on their own, but we find the 3.6 is fine for 2 handling, we would struggle with anything bigger.

As to what will suit your windows, have you any pictures of the van?

If the 524 is the one with the side dinette and full rear washroom, then a 3metre one should fit rear to just behind side lounge window.

Our Emerald was similar layout, we had a 2.55m on it and there looked to be room for a 3metre.

I think it's actually called a 3.1 metre, the "bag" is a bit longer than the actual canopy. Having looked at a picture of a 524, you might even get a 3.6 on it, but I would not go that big without measuring first.

This is our Caravanstore 2.55m (non Zip) but will give you an idea of the size. The Zips have flaps that sit against the side of the van so they need to clear any doors/windows.
