|
|
We have a genuine Poulard awning for sale to fit a 12-14 foot caravan.
This awning has a strange and somewhat sad tale attached to it. I have been on the lookout for an awning for my 10 foot 2 berth Bailey Maru for some time and was delighted when, completely out of the blue, I had an email from someone offering me what was mentioned to be the correct awning for our caravan.
It was based in America so all efforts were made to get it across the USA to Florida where it waited to be shipped over to the UK. It took from the beginning of June to the end of September for the awning to finally reach us and last weekend we set out purely to try it out.
We were greatly disappointed to find the awning was too big in all dimensions for our Bailey Maru and is perfect for a Bailey Mikado sized caravan
The sides look like they've rarely been used and are orange. The 'roof' is beige and has the expected few age related marks on it and a few small holes here and there. Nothing that can't be repaired easily.
It has near new poles and everything is complete and intact.
It has this leaflet included with it Poulard2
but this one is an even better explanation of how to solve the Krypton Factor style construction - it is a 12' sized one!
Poulard1
The size guide written on the panels and roof is 12-13'6 and our little Bailey is well under that size...coming in the 10 foot range of 9-11 feet.
Resto thread.
I am heartbroken that the awning won't fit our caravan as the orange would have gone perfectly with our scheme. Everything is included from the wheel skirt to the awning pegs. The pole bag is falling apart at the bottom but the awning bag is useable. Everything is in a big box at the moment and it has that classic old awning smell to it
Sorry I can't post up a photo of it in all its glory...we couldn't shrink it to fit
Please email me if interested as I don't come on here too often. Sensible offers will be considered, otherwise it's going on Ebay
Collection only from East London, but willing to travel a short way if petrol costs covered. Can easily meet at M25 services at Dartford (Lakeside).

hi having a stable of 3 royales we find that awnings seldom fit but if you have a good sowing machine you can work wonders or there are people out there who will for a fee remake the poulard to fit your van looking at the catalogue it dos,nt look like a big job

Thanks for the suggestions peeps but I already have another awning I've sewn up to fit the podlet now. It was much easier to alter than the Poulard would be, even though I can use my sewing machine with my eyes shut
I don't want to chop this Poulard about and just want to sell it on to someone who will be able to use it as it is.
As I've said, it's too much for me to manage to put up so it has to go. _________________ 1972 1300A VW Beetle
