The Mitsubishi Pajero Owners Club®

The awning that came with my van is 1 size maybe 2 short, NR Pullman 15ft 838-869 cm, van measures 890 cm.
What do you think to extending (professionally, anybody done it?)
New awning is £574 - £595 for Pullman.
Ebay various but still not cheap

I had one done locally here in Deeside, but, if you go to local caravan dealer, they may know someone who can do this, just means extension on the bottom, front and sides.

Who's the manufacturer? NR? Call them and ask about extending.

I generally always but 2nd hand - Eblag.
I think anyone who spends a shedload of cash to have a bit of canvas over their head for a few weeks out the year is nuts and has too much cash. Wish it was me.  
Unless you get a good deal.

I got a 1050cm Dorema straight from the factory in Castleford W Yorks for £500 last year brand new.. cancelled order. My gain!
Previous to that was their cheaper starcamp version which was fine. I actually got my money back on Eblag - helped towards new one.

I'd just do some homework..  

Ahem.. just been checking - Just found you a bargain!
Sirocco size 10 Green 875-900  £560  £250  
As I said - straight from Dorema - even has FREE delivery.
Surely you cant beat that????  
I'll bet you'll get a few quid on yours back on eblag - add a few quid = New Awning at the right size!

Would it fit if you took it out of the rail before it goes around the nose of the caravan......You can start ours at head height and come straight down....ours is also an nr pullman

Couple of good ideas, thanks peeps BUT took the plunge and got local firm to extend £88inc vat, will see how we go and if no good will look at factory clearance bit as Starcamp was going to be our purchase form Towsure £500 mind all in, ground sheet, storm straps and brkts to fasten to caravan as they dont come with them   What goods an awning without brkts to fasten to caravan       Oh well some logic somewhere.........

[jockinleeds]

Well... hope all goes ok.
Bet you'd get £100-£150 on ebay for your existing awning, then its an extra £100 for the Clearance from dorema? What I wouldve done.
I've had a Starcamp Cameo before and basically it does what it says on tin. Frame wasnt great quality. Found out that Manuf'd in China. (Although actually made by dorema!)
£500 sounds steep though?
I make a Cameo £401 from Towsure?
Even Doremas other offer on the Montana is only £405!
The fixing 'pads' are only about £3-4 each and you'll only need 3ish?

I'd pay the £250..... what you save could get you a month on a CS site!

Your money vs satisfaction.    Happy 'Vanning!
