Repair Services to Let You Get The Most From Your Caravan Awning

An awning enhances your caravanning experience by providing you extra space for living, entertainment and privacy. It makes it easier for you to relax in shelter amidst the harsh weather on a campsite and also provides you cooling shade from the sun and rain. It provides your children a place to enjoy playing while you can also dry the paws and fur of your dog under an awning after a soaked walk,

Unlike a motorhome awning that can stand up of its own, a caravan box awning or roll out awning relies on your vehicle for strength and support, and need to be properly installed. Get it inspected from a caravan box awning repair service if you think that there is some issue with your caravan awning that could prevent it from functioning properly.

You can use a waterproof groundsheet to add an extra layer of protection between you and the muddy ground. Floor tiles such as those made by Kampa are comfortable to use. They are breathable, and less damaging to the grass underneath. The tiles help limit any discomfort due to pebbles, rock and mud, and prove particularly helpful if you wish to sleep on it.

How is awning measured?

The size of the awning is measured in centimeters which is the distance around its channel and the distance of each of its ends from the ground. Some manufacturers also offer the size guide on their website. You just need to enter the model and type of your caravan, and the site will provide you the right size of the awning for your caravan. 

No matter whether it’s a box or roll out awning, it should be easy to put up and take down. For winter, something more substantial would be a better choice. Awnings are available in different sizes, such as full awning or porch awning and kitchen awnings. Entertainment awning offers plenty of space for tables and chairs, a decent bedroom and good ventilation. You can host your memorable al fresco dinner under such an awning. Then there are kids’ clubhouses that provide the children their own space to lounge around in.

Awning annexe

You can simply zip up an awning annexe to create an extra room that can be used for living or storage purposes. Some free standing awnings, such as those made by Vango sit inside your annexe. These allow you to create your own private space while you are camping with your fellow guest campers.

Furniture for use specifically with awnings is also available for the campers to set up a relaxed room at the campsite. Camping chairs and tables are lightweight and foldable that can be put out of the way when not needed. Camping tableware is also available to serve refreshing drinks in style.

Lighting

Some awnings also feature in-built fittings to create the perfect lighting in your awning interiors. They can be turned on and off with the help of a switch or through a remote.

Fabric of awnings

Fabrics of caravan awnings come in a wide variety of tautness, densities of weave, textures and weight. The polyester used in the awning fabric makes it light and also dries quickly after rains. Heavier polyester is robust and is good for long-term use. Acrylic is generally more taut and rigid than lightweight polyester. Fiber-dyed acrylic is more resistant to the effects of ultraviolet light than many other fabrics.

An awning attaches to the side of the caravan by means of a cord which runs into the awning channel. The cord is to be fed from the front, pushed along the channel until the awning lies flat against the side of your caravan. The frame then needs to be constructed. When the awning is all taut, it should be pegged down just like a tent.
