Vytensa Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Hi all New to the forum & fairly new to caravaning. We bought our caravan 2 years ago 2nd 7 hand fully equiped as the seller was quiting caravaning. We love it but with 1 small issue, our awning is of a older variety & appears to have been either stretched (if thats possible) or perhaps isnt the perfect fit & I struggle to get decent tension on 1 side across the roof. When we have heavy rainfall we get a bulge inside which leads to leaking. My question is, would adding extra support poles be useful & which way should they run ie the length of the awning or across starting from the van? Money is pretty tight at the moment & buying a new awning isn't an option hence searching ideas for temporary fix. Many thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Stanley Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Not ignoring you - need a bit more info. How old is the awning. What type is it. i. e full - porch etc. What is the frame made of and how do the rafters attach to the van. What size of van do you have. (makes a difference as to how many rafters you may need for example) A photo of it up will help enormously.
