This model is explicitly built for caravanners who want a full-sized awning capable of both frequent touring and longer seasonal stays.

1. Will this awning fit my caravan?
   Yes — provided your caravan’s awning-rail width falls in the supported size band (approx 875-1125 cm) and you have sufficient pitch depth for the 240 cm front.

2. How easy is the setup?
   As a fully poled awning, setup involves erecting the frame, attaching canopy and walls, pegging and guying. It takes more time than lightweight touring awnings but gives superior living space.

3. What does the depth of 240 cm provide?
   It gives ample room for a lounge/dining zone or storage, without needing the full depth (e.g., 270–300 cm) of some high-season models — a good balance for both touring and semi-season use.

4. How does it perform in bad weather?
   Very well for its class — robust fabrics and frame give good resistance when properly tensioned and anchored. For highly exposed or winter sites, consider securing with storm straps and ensuring good setup.

5. What’s included as standard?
   The awning body, steel frame (25 mm), doors/panels, external blinds, QuickLock profile, pegging/guy-rope kit. Upgrades (annexe, inner tent, frame upgrade) are optional.

6. How heavy is the awning and can I manage transport/storage?
   Combined weight (canvas + standard frame) starts from ~35 kg in the smaller size and goes up to ~47 kg for larger widths. Ensure your vehicle’s load-capacity and storage space suit this.

7. Is it suitable for using part of the space for sleeping?
   Yes — with sufficient depth you can add an inner tent unit and convert part of the space for sleeping or use it for gear/laundry.

8. Is this suitable for long stays or seasonal use?
   Yes — designed for both touring and seasonal pitches. Its materials and build quality make it a good choice for extended stays when properly anchored.

9. How do I choose the correct size for my caravan?
   Measure your caravan’s awning rail width (often “A-measurement”), ensure you have a minimum depth of ~240 cm on your pitch, then choose the size band that matches your vehicle’s width.

10. Why choose this model vs a lightweight touring awning?
    If you want more space, better fabrics and a structure capable of longer stays — while still remaining manageable for tours — this model offers an excellent middle ground.
