esterel awning fits

hello to all tried our old 80s but mint condition esterel folding caravan awning this weekend to our
1988 d5 and oh my god it fits ace, it exactly the same width as d5 :wow:loads of head room and middle pole to door clearance,just had to make x2 end pole hooks to fasten to dandy roof bars plus fit awning rail to face of batwings and door, used sucker at end of middle pole.The awning looks made for the d5 as it is brown and cream in colour also the d5 roof edge still sits over to make a rain proof seal and down the side edges to,the name of the awning is a 1.2 trio made in denmark,i am still trying to put pictures on the forum but not sure how to do it

At last the photos of our awning mod

Looking good, great colour match for your dandy

Thanks helen gracie the one with the ball in her gob loved it she was having a ball if you click the link there is an internal pic to,not the best quality pic i know only taken of my iphone,main thing is it fits,just needs a few more side fasten mods next time we take her out,plus got to find a way to fasten the internal skirts to stop drafts when sitting in her (all good fun hey)

Wow that's a fantastic fit and a really good size too, and the best bit is the satisfaction that you found a fantastic awning for your Dandy and made it work. If you look in alternative Dandy awnings at the Royal traveller I did you can see in the pictures how I managed to find a simple solution to the draught problem with a couple of sawn off windbreak poles and some super strong magnets.

brilliant awning look's like it was made for her

Thanks helen it's off our caravan which we still have an use but the caravan stays static all the time now a days, we use it to sleep in if we have a barbe where my dad and my mate moor there boats,just sheer luck i guess with the awnings size still need to do the odd adjustment i have seen the pics of your awning i think that's what inspired me and gave me the brainwave,instead of buying a new one i make do and adapt the one a remembered we had in the shed off the caravan

thanks again caz i guess sometimes if we try these things give us the rewards back (not always of course) my wife thinks i'm mad but when it works she soon changes her tune
