Can anyone suggest a brand of awning that will fit a 13' 8" Castleton. It has a pronounced curve to the roof line front and back. The awning rail is circular in cross section with a continuous groove and round holes in the groove every foot or so.
Many thanks |

Hi
Are you after a period one or just one for space? The other half got fed up with me buying awning that would not fit a van with curves untill we bought a motorhome drive away one as the bit that fits to the caravan is not part if the awning so will fit a low rail and curves

Thanks for the reply Gillberry
I would prefer a period looking one to fit the van, but being practical I don't know what is available. A seperate one sounds like a good idea if there is a joiner to go from curved to square. The van is 1981 and the car is a 1966 MK3 Zodiac so something not too modern. |

| The movelite xl looks too modern for my taste. Do you know the name of any period makes? It sound like you have a large sewing machine / overlocker if you made your own. |
