Kiravans Campervan Awnings
Fitting
- RailSail: RailSails don't come with poles, as it totally depends on your preferred set up. As a guide, 1-3 adjustable poles approximately 210cm in height (+/- a bit) and 3-5 guy lines (4/5 metres in length) work well.
- VW T5/T6 Barn Door Awning - Spoiler version: These are a little tighter to fit than the non-spoiler version. You may need to hook it over the outside corners of your door before tightening up the straps attached to your door hinges.
- VW T4 Barn Door Awning: Some VW T4 rear doors open wider than others. On these doors, there may not be enough 'spring' to hold the pole in position. It's fine once the awning canvas is in position over your doors as the cloth pulls the doors back into our 'expected' position, but it means you may need to put the canvas over the doors before putting the pole in place.
