We have a Bailey Caravan and have just got a roll away inflatable canopy, the stoppers we got don’t fit into the rail.
can anyone recommend any for a Bailey, or know what diameter we would need?
Thanks so much.

    We have had a similar problem with our Fiamma awning. It came with small cylindrical slide in stoppers, they call them bullets, that are held in place by a screw.

    They fitted fine in our last two caravans, one of which was a Bailey, but not with our new Bailey. This leads me to think that its not the awning rail thats the problem, but how its been fitted

    I got over the problem by squirting silicon lubricant into the rail, and then gently knocking to stopper along the rail with a small hammer.

    You could try them, and can find them below.

    Other than that, I would go back to the retailer and ask their advice

    thanks that’s really helpful, I’ve been hunting around and can’t seem to find any with a screw less that 4mm…

    Kampa/Dometic do some for use with their awning rail pulley system and to prevent awning moving, £15 per pair on Amazon

    My awning rail might be a different size, but I cut short lengths of wooden dowling bought from B&Q and put a grub screw into the wood. That acts as a block.

    I have a pair of stoppers as linked to in TimboC's post. Happy to post them if you contact me via www.caravantravels.co.uk. Don't want anything for them but suggest a donation to the next charity box you pass.

    thank you that’s actually a really great idea!
    I’ve found a potential option but will defo look at this if not.

    Hi David,

    That’s so kind of you, I’ll get in touch if my local caravan shop doesn’t have the ones I’ve tracked down.
    really appreciated

    Rachel :)

    just found this string. Have a Bailey caravan, just bought an inflatable roll-up canopy and — no, the awning stoppers won’t go in the rail. Did the OP resolve the problem, please?
