    Most air awnings fit along the rail on the top edge of the caravan. They could fit any modern caravan but you need to check the length of the awning and work out if the sides will foul the windows or door.

    Air awnings are quite heavy and therefore can be quite difficult to pull through the awning rail. Erecting them without the side and front panels in place makes it less effort to thread through the rail, but it then takes longer to zip all the panels in place.

    What Tony says above  .... also the height of the van is what counts with an air/porch awning.

    A Vango Varkala 420 fitted my clubman SB very well. The front door sat between the door and the front window and the rear section almost by the back panel. It now fits my Delta TS with no problems.

    Personally I don't find it heavy or difficult to erect. The two of us can feed it through the awning rail and it is pumped up in minutes once the for corners are pegged in.
