Caravan Awnings In High Winds

At a site last week we witnessed a lot of damage to awnings and equipment in high winds.

Caravan awnings in high winds.

Would be interested to know the thoughts of others as to how much wind they have left their annexes and awnings erected in with out doing any damage. You can be sure to fit a thule awning to your caravan thanks to our large range of adapters developed together with and approved by caravan manufacturers. We saw the after effects of a storm at the bunree site a few years ago stuff all over the site. Some awning had been left up on unoccupied seasonal pitches.

We were worried our van would get hit by flying debris. In an adelaide caravan park at the moment with the awning out and the full annexe up. In a nutshell an awning will withstand some pretty high winds if it has been erected properly but nobody can give you a precise wind speed. Caravanning in strong winds strong winds can be very dangerous when towing a caravan setting up on a pitch or even in storage.

In a recent survey by club care insurance approximately 4 of claims are attributed to high winds ranging from minor damage to a write off. Caravan awnings are most often installed on the sidewall. To say the least it is blowing a gale.
