Awning sizes

Caravans with different body lengths naturally require correspondingly different awning sizes. The size is based on the circumferential dimension of the caravan. Any awning size always covers a defined circumference range. For example, the Brand awning size 12 covers caravans with a circumferential dimension of 918-938 cm, i.e. 20 cm. The smaller this range is selected by the awning manufacturer, the better will be the fit of the awning.

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.

Awning frame

Our awnings are supplied as standard with a 25 mm or 28 mm steel frame or a 28 mm aluminium frame. A 32 mm can be supplied as an optional extra, although this means extra weight and volume, or aluminium frames of 28 mm and 32 mm diameter. These are more suitable for the touring camper due to the weight reduction. The wall thickness is also important, and should be at least 1 mm.
