A caravan awning could be a cheap and practical way to add extra space to your existing caravan or motorhome.
They are popular with holiday-makers as can be witnessed on most caravan sites.
So what exactly is really a caravan awning?
Well, it's basically a tent like structure that's attached to the side of a caravan. They are mostly used as a temporary measure to get extra living space although some people will use them as a permanent fixture.
They're also popular because of the ease in which they could be erected (although tents are also supposed to be easy to erect but try telling that to numerous people).
Get more information for use in the wintertime as a wind-breaker and especially in the summer where they can be used to escape the summer sunshine.
Lots of people treat them being an additional living space by fitting them with curtains and with them as a dining area and even as a bedroom!
Before buying your caravan awning we strongly suggest you take accurate measurements of one's caravan and also then it's prudent to match the awning once before you actually go on holiday. There's nothing worse thinking you've got yourself sorted only to drive a huge selection of miles away and realise you've got the wrong size!
Maintenance is pretty self-explanatory. Cleaning is most beneficial done when the awning is unfurled and water and soap are amazing.
The windows are often crafted from PVC and it's really advisable to resist the temptation to use any type of chemical cleaner on these windows as they can sometime cause the transparent plastic to become cloudy.
The steel pegs should also be cleaner properly making certain to remove any dirt from them before storage.
Awnings should not really be stored away if they're still damp so it's far better air dry them thoroughly before putting them away.
If you want a more impressive caravan but you can't really afford one then awnings are a very good alternative.
