Hi - hope you can help - we are looking to buy a blow up awning for our 2 berth abbey iona van and are struggling to source an ideal make/size - A frame measurement is 784 cm - however when we look at some on ebay some descriptions say we need 200 cm of
straight awning rail etc - we dont have that as its a short van - can anyone give us some ideas re suitable awnings or sizes to be looking at - we only want a small porch awning rather than a full one - we currently have an awning which came with the van but
its past its best - we can measure that but am thinking the inflatable ones fit slightly differently - any help/tips would be appreciated before committing - many thanks

    I have a Vango air awning and they are great. Ours is a 420 so you could most probably fit your van inside of it but if you can get one to fit I would defiantly recommend it. As far as I'm aware the smallest Vango do is a 250 (I could be wrong though) so
    you will have to shop around. I can put ours up by myself in around 20 mins but you can get the awning hung and blown up in 5 mins, the rest of the time is pegging it out and getting the guy ropes set up. I guess a smaller awning will take less time.

    Hope that helps a little
