Under certain conditions all awnings will suffer from internal condensation.
Depending upon the atmospheric conditions, the weather and the amount of
moisture in the ground, the condensation could be quite severe and is
commonly mistaken for leaking, especially as it can run down the inside of the

some awnings we offer an optional roof lining that can also help prevent
Condensation and catch any drips of condensation that fall from the roof.

damaged or has peeled away through wear and tear. It can also be applied to
areas where a leak may have developed. Seam sealant is available from your

The awning beading is sewn to the awning with a special waterproof sewing
thread. This thread swells when wet to fill the needle holes but thread needs
to become wet several times before it is totally effective. This process is known
as 'weathering' and it may take several soakings for the weathering to be fully
effective. This area can also be treated with seam sealant.
This awning is designed for use in light to moderate weather. During strong
winds or snowfall we recommend that you take your awning down.

the awning may have for your particular use. Please also check your caravan
