Dear Lucas, I've got a Leisure Awn 3.5metre plus sides available. Still brand new, it slide into the Aluminium Extrusion. I don't know if I can give the details in the forum. If this is not allowed please forgive me, I'm new in this field. Thank you. Pastor W. Stols

Did you have a look at the awning of the Sprite Tourer SP yet. I have this caravan and it has the type of awning that slides into the groove on the caravan body and it has the aluminium bar at the end into which the legs of the awning fit into

Hello community users,

I do apologise if this method of forum is a bit confusing for you, we have developed this “style” of presentation after the facebook version 1 website.
There are number of reasons we have done this, one of which is the security protocols of this website. It is almost impossible for someone to gain entry without permission from us directly.

Since you guys seem like you are regular forum members, I would appreciate it if you can inbox me (digital.content@caravansa.co.za ) a list of forums that you are already a member of and please let me know what you don’t like about this forum.

I know you don’t feel as if this is your responsibility, however as you have taken the time to bring this to my attention, I will take the time to adhere to your requests.

I will be removing this forum thread shortly, as it may hinder enthusiasm from other new community users trying to learn our community based system.
I trust you will understand.

Thank you for your statements, I will look forward to hearing your thoughts and improvements.

Does anyone read these complaints ? Not that I worry but such a shame to see a once good website collapse into a pile of rubbish…….

Its a struggle

Clint, what a broad question, which probably will attract a broad answer.

There are only 2 pieces of advice amongst the many others that I will give you now. If needed, you can pop me a private message for more assistance. No problem.

1) I guess the first thing you should look at is the towing capacity of your tow vehicle. This will narrow down your search category quite substantially. You can only tow what your tow vehicle allows you to tow. Anything heavier will post a serious safety risk to your combination and its occupants.

2) You buy what the government likes. Never go van shopping without your wife. If it ticks all the categories and she likes it, that is the one. You will know. It will be written all over her face.

Hope it helps.

Do you have a pic perhaps?

Mat,
You might get disappointed. People are already reserving sites for December.
Rather have peace of mind.

I bought a 2012 regal last year with no rear window as you correctly mentioned. There is only the kitchenette on that side of the caravan which transforms to a double bed when needed. The double bed runs parallel to the back wall, so there is no headboard of any sorts adjacent to the wall. The only reason I can think of for not having a back window, is perhaps a design requirement. There are currently 4 windows in the regal, so a 5th one might have perhaps affected the overall design strength of the van.

The problem of not being able to see what is going on behind the van, is quickly alleviated by clipping on towing mirrors. With these, I can practically see the tail of the caravan.

It's winter and chances are caravan parks wont be 100% full, so you can take a chance. The advantages of booking is that you could get a better stand rather than being squeezed into the only space left - next to the laundry

Dunkyd, After lots of experimenting, got this far.
Agree this is the worst forum ever.

Hello Michael I have a friend that wants to fit one to his Exclusive. Do you still have the mover?

yes the question is where in Mozambique, i have just come back from Ponto and Malangane and only off road caravans will do this trip totally beach sand roads all the way from Kosi Bay border

Dear Lucas

Take a look at the Howling Moon awning ( www.howlingmoon.co.za) - that should suit your needs. Our publisher will provide a more indepth response in the May issue of Caravan & Outdoor Life in our Caravan Clinic pages.
