Well, towed my Unicorn Cordoba down to Spain. First time out with it (should have tried it in the UK but didn't have time).

Problem 1.

Both offside and nearside front windows let water in, towing at Mway speeds in the rain.

Problem 2.

The awning rail has 2 joints, held together by a sort of aluminium clip. The clip stands proud of the caravan wall, forming a "step" inside the rail. The awning will not pass through these clips !!! 

Spoke to  Dealer (Oxford Caravans) who were very helpful. Booked in on return from Spain for windows fixing. Awning rail is a known problem. They suggested I used a screwdriver and hammer to clear the awning rail blockage......ermmm.

Anyway, I fixed one of the clips with a bit of brute force, so able to put up the awning.

Just a warning for you peeps with a new Unicorn. Try your awning before going on holiday.and take plenty of kitchen roll to mop up the water leaks.
