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.

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. Caravan awnings are most often installed on the sidewall.

If the pegs hold and the poles dont break you should be ok. 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. 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. We saw the after effects of a storm at the bunree site a few years ago stuff all over the site.

Caravanning in strong winds strong winds can be very dangerous when towing a caravan setting up on a pitch or even in storage. What s more it s easy to mount in the caravan rail. 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.
