Ok after a fantastic response and helpful advice on what to lay on my awning floor and how best to heat it....which I may add will still be utilised
....we’ve had a bit of a dilemma regarding the decision to buy an Air awning of the size we required and my ability to put said awning up on my own or worse still take it down and pack it when wet and then try to dry it back home, that we have decided to go back to the original plan of getting a cassette awning that I can wind out and erect on my own...we are looking at the Thule Omnistor 6200 with one of their ‘rooms’ to convert it to a covered in space....question:
Does anyone own one or had any experience of the new type Omnistors? If so what would be your advice? Pleeeeeease
If you have a Buccaneer caravan be aware that if you have any issues were it is fitted, Elddis will reject any claims which is why we decided to stick with our isabella porch awning. Here si the extract from the email received from Elddis;
We can confirm that legislation states that the width of the van in total can not exceed 8ft 3", therefore any additional fitments that you chose to add to your van must be within these measurements.
However, unfortunately, we can only reiterate that as we have not used or tested the Thule Omnister 6200 or Thule Omnister 9200 we would be unable to comment or recommend either of these products or any alternative permanent side or roof mounted awnings.
If this is something that you do decide to go ahead and have fitted we must advise that this is at your discretion and that any additional fitments that are not standard to your van will invalidate the warranty in the area they are fitted to.
We are sorry we are unable to assist you further on this occasion and we assure you of our best intentions at all times.
