Looking to buy
Does the California Ocean come with an awning as standard? I feel like the answer is Yes but I'm a little thrown by the terms "rail" and "housing".

What are following options please:
  • Awning (housing and rail in black) £420.00
  • Awning (housing and rail in silver) £594.00
  • Awning rail black + tent adapter Standard
  • Awning rail in black No additional cost
  • Awning rail in silver No additional cost
 
A awning is option
The rail comes standard as you can use it as a tent adaptor also.

Only thing to add is I believe more expensive if you decide you need one later and for resale. I went for one and will see how much use it gets. If not much it's coming off and in storage. I suspect from others comments on here it will be staying.

To me a Cali without a awning feels like something is missing ....even we don't use ours a lot , we even use it mostly when it rains to cook outside, my awning stays on.
 
Agreed, I'd certainly like one, but a little bamboozled as to what each selection actually is.

So if I select "Awning (housing and rail in black) £420.00" it will include everything in this image...?

Yes, and the housing (what the material winds out of) is black. You dont see too many in silver but I like the idea of it.
 
I have a black awning but the material is in a dark silver. Do have photos but taken on my camera and files too big to upload. Need to use phone camera in future.
Quite a thick material which blocks suns heat. Can't recall what the Fiamma one on a previous motorhome was but sure it was more of a canvas type material.

Same as us, usually out to keep us dry when cooking and we usually leave our shoes under there. I don't feel like camp is properly set-up if the awning isn't extended out, like somethings missing .
