CRR-1 Aussie Traveller Roofer Rafter Maxi

Did you know awning damage is the most common type of insurance claim within the RV industry? Curved Roof Rafters were introduced to help overcome these two common problems experienced by caravanners with roll out awnings:

1. Wind Flapping. Wind flapping in the awning causes the caravan to shake which can lead to restless sleep plus cause damage to the awning, frameset, roller and fabric.

2. Water Pooling. Water pooling is a common cause of awning damage.

The Aussie Traveller Roof Rafters are widely regarded as the best quality caravan roof rafter available. 

Suitable for most caravan and RV roll out awnings including Carefree & Dometic A&E, the ATRV Curved Roof Rafter CRR-1 Maxi is used to keep the vinyl roof from sagging, ensuring 100% water run-off as well as keeping the fabric tight and reducing wind flap.

The CRR-1 has a larger curvature than the CRR-2 & other standard rafters at 123-125mm (when fully extended).

Recommended Usage

The minimum recommended usage per awning size is outlined on the following table:

Specifications include:

• 1.4 to 2.5m extension
• 123-125mm curve will keep a good amount of tension on the awning fabric
• Curved top edges to protect awning fabric
• 12 Month Warranty through Aussie Traveller
• Wall bracket included
• Lightweight and durable aluminium
• Powder coated white

Installation Details:

1. Attach the bracket to the RV with 2 screws into the desired position
2. Extend the awning out to the fully openned postion making sure the key way is facing down
3. Drill a hole in the awning tube at an appropriate height
4. File / de-burr the hole in the barrel to ensure no damage to the fabric occurs when closing

Installation is simple but we have included more detailed instructions inside the packaging with photos & diagrams.

Our Comments:

• Note the CRR-1 has a larger curvature of 123-125mm which may be more than needed for new awnings & can potentially cause stretching of the awning fabric. We would recommend this rafter for older awnings with looser fabric. For new awnings we would recommend the CRR-2 Mini or the Supex Slight curve rafter.
• This rafter is not suitable for Box Awnings such as Fiamma. Please see our separately listed Fiamma Awning Rafters.
