Replacement wind out awning

Gooldmike · Dec 5, 2019

A couple of months ago, we had an unfortunate accident with our wind out awning on our 2019 California Beach.To make a long story short, its not possible to repair it. So, ill probably try and sell the damaged awning , on eBay for parts. However, I now am looking to replace it with a new wind out awning, also requiring new brackets. I don't know what specific parts or type of awning I need . Any advice would be appreciated

The Forum Shop has all you need. Also if you are a VIP member you get discounts on anything bought. Also if you phone them, very helpful and I believe they can also supply the fixing kit.

There are Fiamma and Thule awnings available for the California, all with special brackets made for the van.

Fiamma is probably slightly cheaper than the Thule but a nice design and has served me well. The Thule Is a little sleeker.

How much will you be asking for the canopy - assuming it is not damaged? Ours has two neat rows of holes in it after being wound in with sharp Croatian gravel stones on it, lobbed there by our feral three year old.

My intention was to put the whole wind out awning on eBay as most of the parts in it are basically new. I havnt really thought about what reserve I would put on it but I have seen one a few weeks ago being sold on eBay for £250. I know you're only interested in the canopy but I would want to sell the whole thing. It , i spose , could be worth it to you, as you could use the canopy and then sell on the result for parts?
