Curved Caravan Awning Rafter (Extra Curve)

Curved Caravan Awning Rafter (Extra Curve)

The Extra Curved Caravan Awning Rafter from Campsmart features additional curvature to further increase the tension on Roll Out Awning fabric, thereby more effectively reducing flapping and increasing the awning's structural strength. In comparison to the standard slight curved rafter, additional design improvements have also been made:

• A rounded radius top has been added to protect the fabric on the awning;
• The rafter has been thickened, adding strength; and
• A new "anti-rattle" glass nylon molded rail end has been included;

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 telescopic style rafter extends up to 250cm and is suitable for Roll Out Awnings including Sunburst, Carefree, Dometic & A&E.

Features & Specifications:

• Includes tightening knob & mounting bracket (screws not included);
• Extends from 1.5m to 2.5m;
• Curve is approx. 80-100mm when extended (See notes on curvature below);
• Powdercoated white aluminium with a rounded top profile;
• Anti-Rattle Glass Nylon Moulded Bracket Insert;

Installation Details:

1. Attach the bracket to the RV with 2 screws into the desired position. This should be approx. 20mm below the awning fabric;
2. Extend the awning out;
3. Drill a 3/8" 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.

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. 35mm tall). Variation will occur depending on the amount of extension. A small amount of variation can also occur in production.
• Larger awnings would benefit from 2 or more rafters (We'd suggest 2 for awnings over 12' & 3 for awnings larger than 17').
• This rafter is not suitable for Box Awnings such as Fiamma. Please see our separately listed Curved Rafters for Fiamma Awnings
