Which porch Awning?

I have decided to get a Porch awning as the full size one is a pain to put up and takes up the whole back seat in the car.

Originally I was going to go for a Kampa rally 260, however I went to the stage place today to measure up and getting this awning would mean cutting across either the kitchen window (and vents) or the rear dinette window, neither of which I want to
do.

The caravan is a 2005 Elddis Avante 505.

After measuring I would need an awning that is approx 270-280cm wide at the windows in order to open them both, therefore I am guessing I should go for a 300cm width awning.  I have read some good reviews on the Dorema Mistral Ripstop.  Looking on
Jeff Bowen Awnings (google threw up their site when searching), they state a rail width of approx 270 with a floor width of 300, which would fit in with the pictures (slightly tapered at the sides).

Does anyone know if this would be wide enough at the windows?  Also what are your opinions?  Any other suggestions (300 width please) as there seems to be very few in this size. I have already discounted the Rotonde.  Cost - no more than £240 (approx
cost of a Kampa 260)

Thanks.
