The main types of awnings generally available for caravans, motorhomes and campervans are full awnings, porch or universal awnings and canopy or cassette awnings.
Full awning
A full awning will cover one whole side of your caravan, providing lots of extra living space and sometimes sleeping cabins.
Porch or universal awning
A large porch awning covers most of one side of a caravan while a small porch awning won�t cover much more than the doorway, but is useful for storing muddy shoes and bikes.
Canopy or cassette awning
This is a shelter that extends from the caravan roof and can be fitted on to a caravan either temporarily or permanently. Some of the higher end ones come with walls to create a more enclosed space.
