Weight

The touring camper increasingly has to be aware of the overall weight, since the caravan load capacity also has to take other accessories and equipment into account. Light, high-quality fabrics coated on one side only are an important factor in reducing the overall weight. PVC fabrics are significantly heavier, but offer higher strength and resilience. Steel frames are very strong, but also heavy. Aluminium is lighter, and therefore more suitable for touring camping.

Ground attachment

The anchoring and tensioning of an awning is the primary requirement optimum stability in adverse weather, and the correct fit and durability of an awning. All Brand awnings are fitted with the multi-function strip (a Brand idea), with which the awning can be anchored at a spacing of 2.5 cm. Anchoring with a very close spacing is therefore possible if required. Obstructions in the ground such as stones or roots can be circumvented. This anchoring system also offers the perfect requirements for attaching the awning to a wooden floor. A further advantage is the 3-way ground sealing provided with most Brand awnings: wide internal ground strip – central multi-function strip – external ground strip. An awning must always be properly anchored in the area of vertical seams.
