Quick Guide To Choosing A Caravan Awning

Start with the awning style before choosing a brand. The important question is usually where the awning will mount and what style of RV it needs to suit.

Roll-Out Awnings

Roll-out awnings suit many caravans, pop-tops and flat-sided motorhomes. They usually need wall-mounted hardware plus the roller/fabric assembly. For a new installation, suitable sail track is also needed.

This is the main path for Dometic 8700 awnings, older Dometic A&E 8300/8500/9000 models, Carefree Fiesta awnings, Sunburst Classic Awnings, Sunburst Eclipse Awnings, and Lippert Solera awnings.

For new Dometic complete awnings, the 8700 is the usual current manual roll-out path. The 8300 and 8500 are older styles, but they still matter when identifying existing arms, fabric and spare parts.

Wall-Mounted Box And Cassette Awnings

Wall-mounted box and cassette awnings store inside a hard case and suit many campervans, motorhomes and caravans where a compact side-mounted case is preferred.

Fiamma F45 Awnings and Fiamma F80 Awnings are enclosed case awnings. Thule 4200 Awnings, Thule 5200 Awnings, Thule 6300 Awnings and Dometic box awnings are also cassette-style options.

With these brands, match the exact model and mounting style before choosing brackets, arms or spare parts.

Roof-Rack Case Awnings

Roof-rack mounted case awnings suit 4WDs, roof racks, wind-up camper trailers and compact camper setups where the awning cannot be mounted like a normal caravan wall awning.

Fiamma F35 Pro Awnings is the main option here. It is a lighter manual case awning often used where a rack or compact mounting setup is needed.

Bag Awnings

Bag awnings pack into a soft vinyl bag and usually slide into sail track. They are often a simple path for wind-up camper trailers, smaller campervans and light touring setups.

Fiamma CaravanStore bag awnings are the main bag-awning option. Check the sail track, awning length and the space available for the packed bag before choosing this style.

Powered 12V Awnings

Powered awnings are useful when you want easier operation, but model and vehicle fit still matter. Dometic 9700 Power Awnings, Carefree Altitude and Carefree Freedom are the main powered options we list.

Check whether the awning is a complete powered awning, a fabric-on-roll replacement, or a spare-parts job. Motors, arms, switches, controllers and hardware do not usually interchange across brands or model families.

How to Measure a Rollout Awning

For Dometic, Carefree, Aussie Traveller/Sunburst and similar roll-out awnings, do not measure the vinyl. For a new awning or replacement vinyl, measure from the centre of one arm to the centre of the other arm. Roll-out awnings are sold in foot increments, so round the arm-to-arm measurement to the nearest foot.

How to measure an awning
Measure centre arm to centre arm, not the fabric width. Then round to the nearest foot.

Identify Before Ordering Parts

Before buying awning spare parts, identify the existing awning brand and model. Arms, springs, sliders, brackets, locks, motors and rafters can look similar but differ by brand, model, side, colour and hardware height.

Fiamma, Thule, Dometic, Carefree, Aussie Traveller, Lippert Solera, Global Heritage and other awning parts should be matched from the correct diagram or model path rather than guessed from appearance alone.

How to determine awning model from rollout awning springs
Spring and arm layout can help identify the awning model before choosing spare parts.

Complete Awning, Fabric Roll Or Parts?

These options can look related, but they solve different jobs. Start with what is being replaced, then check the measurements and model family.

Awning choice Best for Check carefully Best next step
Complete awning New installs or full awning replacement. Length, projection, case colour, mounting style and what hardware is included. Start with complete awnings.
Fabric on roll Replacing the roller and canopy assembly when the arms remain usable. Not loose fabric only. Match length, brand family, colour and roll style. Check the existing arms first.
Spare parts Arms, brackets, sliders, locks, springs and end fittings. Brand, model, hardware height, colour and left/right side can change the part. Use diagrams before buying.
Rafters and anti-flap Extra support for wind, rain pooling and awning stability. Curve, projection, bracket style and awning type affect fit. Compare support options.

Measure The Awning Before Ordering

Most wrong awning orders come from a small mismatch: length, projection, model family, side, hardware height or bracket style.

Common awning measurements

  • Awning lengthMeasure the case, roll or arm-to-arm size used by that awning family. Small differences can change fabric, arms and brackets.
  • ProjectionHow far the awning rolls out. This affects rafters, anti-flap kits, legs and support accessories.
  • Brand and seriesDometic 8300/8500/8700/9000, Carefree Fiesta/Spirit, Fiamma F45/F80 and Thule Omnistor parts do not usually interchange.
  • Side and hardwareLeft/right arms, winding side, bracket colour, short/tall hardware and case colour can matter on model-specific parts.
  • Mounting styleCheck sail track, wall brackets, roof/canopy brackets or cassette mounting before choosing Fiamma, Thule or camper awnings.

Risk checks before ordering

  • Match the brand label, model family and old part shape before choosing repair parts.
  • Measure length and projection before buying fabric on roll, rafters or anti-flap kits.
  • Decide whether you need a complete awning, fabric-on-roll assembly, fabric repair kit or spare part.
  • Use diagrams for arms, springs, brackets, leg assemblies, locks and left/right parts.
  • For Dometic hardware, match short, tall or ultra-short arm sets before ordering arms.
  • For Fiamma and Thule awnings, match the cassette model and mounting bracket path, not only the overall length.
  • Consider UV, wind and rain exposure before choosing rafters, anti-flap kits or tie-downs.

Match The Awning Brand And Model

Awning parts are model-specific. Similar-looking arms, brackets, springs and fittings can differ by model family, hardware height, side and mounting style.

Brand or model Use for Check carefully Best next step
Dometic / A&E 8300, 8500, 8700 and 9000 arms, fabric-on-roll assemblies, springs and brackets. 8300 is discontinued and 8700 is the usual current path, but arms, hardware height and left/right parts still matter. Identify the model, then use diagrams.
Carefree Fiesta, Spirit, Altitude arms, hardware and manuals. Universal-looking arms and brackets can still differ by model, side, colour and hardware set. Start with Carefree diagrams and manuals.
Fiamma F45, F80 awnings, brackets and mounting parts. Case style, vehicle/canopy brackets and winding side affect fit. F80S winding position is not normally swappable. Match the Fiamma model path.
Thule Omnistor 4200/5200 awnings, rafters and support parts. Some small cast fittings are only supplied as complete leg or arm assemblies, and length can change the part. Use Thule diagrams first.
Supports and tie-downs Rafters, anti-flap kits, tie-downs and support brackets. Awning projection, rafter curve and bracket style need to match the awning. Use rafter and support guides.

Caravan Awning FAQs

What type of caravan awning do I need?

Start with the job, then check the brand and model. A complete awning, fabric-on-roll assembly, rafter or spare part can all be correct for different problems.

Can I replace just the caravan awning fabric?

We generally sell fabric-on-roll assemblies rather than loose fabric-only strips. For small damage, a fabric repair kit may suit. For larger canopy damage, check the brand, length and existing arms before choosing fabric on roll or a complete awning.

How do I identify my Dometic awning model?

Use the Dometic model identification guide and diagrams before ordering. Parts vary between 8300, 8500, 8700, 9000 and other model families, and hardware height or left/right side can change the part.

Can I change the winding side on a Fiamma awning?

Usually no. For example, Fiamma F80S awnings are not normally designed for the winding position to be swapped from one end of the cassette to the other. Check the exact Fiamma model and bracket path before ordering.

How do I choose rafters or anti-flap kits?

Match the awning style, length, projection and wall height. Rafters and anti-flap kits also vary by curve, bracket style and whether the awning is a rollout, box awning or Fiamma style.

Why do some awning parts need a full assembly?

Some small fittings are not supplied separately by the brand. Thule and other awning parts can be supplied only as a complete leg, arm or hardware assembly, so diagrams are important before ordering.
