The awning on a caravan or motorhome is not only the first choice for frequent travellers. If you never spend more than a few days in the same place, you don't want to set up and dismantle a complete awning with heavy poles, but choose the awning as a comfort solution.

An awning offers immediate protection from sun and rain when it has barely arrived. It does not first have to be unpacked like a tent skin and pulled into the keder strip, but - because it is only mounted once - it will always be ready for use at any new location by simply unscrewing the fabric.

This is not only safe - it is also extremely convenient for those who change their location frequently.

Two awning types are right at the front of the field of vision.

• The cassette awning, in which cloth, rods with joints and drive are protected and installed in a complete aluminium box and which are fixed to both the side wall and the roof edge with screws.
• The bag or roller awning, in which the fabric remains in a transport bag when rolled up, which is pulled once into a keder strip on the side wall.

Both awning types have their own typical advantages in comparison to each other due to their design.

• The cassette awning is somewhat heavier overall, but is unbeatable in terms of ease of use. With the crank, the awning can not only be turned in and out quickly, but can also be turned out as far as desired to serve as a small rain canopy.
• The bag awning can be built much lighter. No previous knowledge is required for assembly. And its popularity on the market today has led to developments that make it possible to convert it into a completely retracted awning.
