These often come in sizes 200 up to 500 widths, and the most popular sizes are 260, 330, and 390 wide, from brands such as Vango caravan awnings, Dometic awnings and Telta awnings.
It is sometimes advisable to check where the porch will fit on your caravan to see if the sides might interfere with any windows, doors, hatches, etc., that you might want to have open when the porch is erected.
L: Maximum length of Porch Awning
H: Height of awning rail from the ground
X1: Second side window will clash with the porch side when erected
X2: Caravan door will open into the side of the porch.
99% of UK caravans sit at a height of 235-250cm, and all the porch awnings on the market will fit this height. Sometimes, you’ll see other sizes called S and M with a range of cm – these are also to accommodate motorhomes, like the new awnings from Dometic and Telta which have a zip in the side panel to allow the roof height to increase.
For Dorema awnings, measure your caravan through the awning rail from ground to ground (A-B-C) as shown in the diagram below. Then check your measurement against the chart. This will provide you with the Dorema awning size required.
Dorema strongly recommends that anyone seasonally siting their awning should measure the caravan on the seasonal pitch prior to ordering their awning (for example, a pitch with decking could alter the awning size required).
