Tips For Purchasing Used Caravan Awnings

For many people, purchasing a brand new awning for their caravan is simply not something that they can realistically afford. As far as accessories go, these are some of the most expensive that you can invest in, but they are highly useful for increasing the living space of your van. Instead of forking out an arm and a leg for a brand new one, you could try looking at some used caravans awnings.
  • Make sure that you are purchasing a structure that has been created by a reputable company, as they will not damage their reputation by selling subpar products.
  • Thoroughly check the structure over to ensure that there are no hidden surprises (such as unraveling stitching, tears in the canvas, and failing grummets) that could cost you money down the track.
  • Make sure that the awning fits your used caravan. If possible, take your caravan with you and test that the structure aligns with the tracks and brackets it is fitted with.
  • Try and look for awnings that come with a manufacturer’s manual, as this will ensure that you are setting up the structure properly and that you are aware of its capacity (such as wind resistance and occupancy).
Once you have found a used caravan awning that meets all of the requirements outline above, you can rest assured that you are making a sound investment that will increase the value of your van. If you ever have any hesitations or qualms about an awning, trust your gut instincts and keep looking for one that better suits your needs.
