Caravan porch awning on a van conversion

[Jim Jackson]

We have a Citroen Relay L2H2 conversion with a Fiamma wind out awning.
We currently have a Kyham drive away awning which we love but on some sites we struggle to get on the pitches as it is 4m out from the van.
Had a couple of lectures on fire gap regs etc.
We have started looking at caravan porch awnings to cut down on width. Has anyone got any suggestions or recommendations?.

We use a Kampa caravan awning as it was cheaper than the Air one that they make for motorhomes. The caravan version has the 6mm bead only which is too big for the Fiamma channel so you may have to use a fig. 8 section. I pulled out the 6mm bead and pushed in the smaller 4mm one.

Thanks for that. The awning looks great on the side of your van, the same size as ours I think.
I notice you have had to leave the awning bead "wing" out of the Fiamma channel so it fits correctly with the sliding door. Is this a problem?. Also is there plenty of clearance with the sliding door?

Depends how far your awning is over the door, I moved mine as far as possible to the left to minimise the bit hanging out but it’s not a problem.
It’s not a problem with the sliding door also.
You can only fit the 2400 awning as the 3 bay one is too long.
