Curved Caravan Awning Rafter (50mm Slight Curve)

Slight Curved Caravan Awning Rafter

The slight curved awning rafters help you overcome the two common caravanning problems - wind flap and water pooling. Taking only moments to fit in place, this curved roof rafter is designed to give your awning canopy a gentle curve enabling rain to run off easier, as well as keeping the fabric tight and reducing wind flap. No more restless sleep due to wind flaps! For best results, we recommend using them with our anti-flap kit or deflappers

The rafter's slight curve is just enough to keep tension on the awning fabric for most awnings. They are simple to set up and if used close to the end of an awning can be utilised to hang Caravan Sunscreen End Walls. The telescoping style rafter extends up to 243cm and is suitable for Roll Out Awnings including Carefree, Dometic & A&E.

Features & Specifications:

• Includes mounting bracket (screws not included);
• Extends from 1.5m to 2.5m;
• Curve is approx 50mm (+/- 10mm) when fully extended (See notes on curvature below);
• Powdercoated white aluminium with a square profile;
• Larger awnings would benefit from 2 or more rafters (We'd suggest 3 for awnings larger than 17').

Installation Details:

1. Attach the bracket to the RV with 2 screws into the desired position;
2. Extend the awning out to the fully opened position;
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.

Our Notes:

• Curvature is measured when extended and includes the distance from a flat surface to the top of the rafter (note the rafter is approx. 25mm tall). Variation will occur depending on the amount of extension. A small amount of variation can also occur in production.
• This rafter is not suitable for Box Awnings such as Fiamma. Please see our separately listed Fiamma Awning Rafters.
