Awning height

[orourkeith]

Hi guys my awning height is 260cm , I can get a really good deal on an awning but the minimum height is 280cm would this pose huge problems or could I make it work ? Thanks in advance

It will look odd and you will have difficulty just pegging it down, get one the correct size.

If the awning connection is too low then you can get pooling on the roof as there may not be enough run-off for rain. With heavy rain overnight this can even collapse the awning (depending on type).

It might work if you have hydraulic levellers as you would be able to raise the height of your van however that would be an expensive way of doing it

Must admit the right height is the key as pooling can cause an issue I just bought a rally air pro 330s £800 brand new from https://www.leisureshopdirect.com which I thought was a good deal and a good discount on accessories as well my rail was in the range quoted and fits spot on. Signed up for emails and put it in my basket and waited

All awnings have a small amount of adjustment between minimum and maximum height. 20 cm or 8 inches is a big difference

As it's an Air awning can you adjust the length of the legs? we had one of the first Kampa air awnings that didn't have any adjustment in their length and unless the ground was level it looked awful with one or more of the legs bending.
At half price and not fitting it isn't such a good deal.

Just looked it up and the quoted range is 235cm to 295cm. So at 230 the awning would be baggy and misshapen on your van

Air awnings are quite heavy so I bought the Kampa Rally Pro 330 which has poles but much cheaper and lighter. Air awnings don’t work on a PVC as the door hits the middle beam.

5kg is 5kg I suppose but it if the door hits the roof that would be a deal breaker

A perfect example of a half price bargain.
