Hi Martin. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply with your advice which is very helpful.
Are you saying that the awning WILL cover the window? Do you have the same caravan and awning?
I was hoping that someone with the same van and awning might confirm that that the awning is a PRACTICAL fit before I buy one.
Hi MagicDee,
I had a Ventura Marlin porch awning on my Series 5 Senator Indiana, so I can confirm height wise it will fit (as I recall, all series 5 senators were the same height), however it will, fit along the straight top part of the awning rail, on your Vermont & quiet possibly will fit without the awning touching the nearside front window, but it will be tight!
The full, ground to ground, awning length for your Vermont is 940mm, so if you allow 300mm X 2 (the upright height from ground to the top of the awning rail inc the curved front & rear of the awning rail) that leaves you 340mm, so in theory it will fit? however this is my "best guess" & in reality you'd have to find a series 5 Vermont owner who has a Ventura Marlin to confirm, or you could just measure the top of the awning rail from the rear, where the rail becomes straight, to the front, where the rail starts to bend, but as this rail has a more "gentle" curve than the rear, you could always take into account, in your measurements, the first part of the curvature of the rail.
PM me with your email address & I'll send a photo of the Marlin in use fitted to my Indiana, so you can at least see how it looks.
