Setting up camp only to discover there's nowhere shady to kick back? Caravan awnings give you a practical outdoor space for relaxing, cooking or escaping the Aussie sun. Explore manual and electric options in different sizes, plus handy accessories to help you find the right setup for your caravan.

Manual And Electric Roll-Out Awnings
Rollout caravan awnings are a practical way to add shade and shelter beside your caravan. Depending on your setup, you can choose from manual designs or an electric caravan awning for push-button operation.
If you need a caravan awning replacement, check your existing awning dimensions and mounting setup before choosing a new model.
What Size Awning Fits Your Caravan?
Start by measuring the available straight mounting space along your caravan. Awning size generally refers to the overall length of the awning assembly, so check both the required mounting space and fabric projection.
Always confirm compatibility with your caravan and installation position before ordering.
Manual vs Electric Operation
Manual caravan awnings are simple to operate and don't rely on a powered motor. Electric models make extending and retracting your awning easier at the press of a button.
The best option depends on your budget, caravan setup and how much you value quick operation.
Thule Omnistor Awning Sizes
Thule Omnistor awnings are available in different sizes to suit a range of caravans and installation requirements. Choosing the correct size helps you get useful shade coverage without exceeding the available mounting space.
Picking The Right Roll-Out Size
With rollout caravan awnings with arms, bigger isn't automatically better. Measure your available mounting area carefully and consider doors, windows and other fittings that could affect installation.
If you're replacing an existing unit, its measurements can also help narrow down suitable options.
Awning Accessories For Windy Conditions
A few well-chosen caravan awning parts and accessories can help keep your setup more stable when conditions change. Caravan awning tie downs, rafters and anti-flap accessories are particularly useful for reducing unwanted movement.
Remember that awnings should still be retracted when weather conditions become unsuitable.
Tension Rafters And Hold-Down Straps
Tension rafters help support the awning fabric and keep it taut, while hold-down straps provide additional anchoring. Used correctly, they can improve stability and reduce movement in breezy conditions.

Anti-Flap Kits To Stop Flapping
A caravan awning anti flap kit helps secure the edges of your awning fabric, reducing flapping and adding extra support. Some systems can also provide attachment points for compatible walls or privacy screens.
