We recently bought a new, bigger all weather Dorema Garda 240 size 16 for our seasonally pitched touring caravan.
we had been told at a caravan show we needed size 15 but the caravan shop we bought it from said we needed a 16 based on the size of our caravan- a Elddis 550.
however after 7 (and that isn’t an exaggeration) hours of trying to put it up yesterday my husband and I really struggled to get it anywhere near taut despite using the extra storm straps.
we have ended up with about 5cm of awning cord stuck out at the end on either side (and almost a divorce 😂)… can that be right?
have we done something wrong or have we been sold the wrong size awning?
would really welcome any advice (especially if it doesn’t involve taking it all down and starting again! 🙈)
thank you
