Thule Awning Size Selector 

There are 3 different types of mounting available for the Thule awnings and the table below shows which awnings are available for each mounting type:

• Wall - This is the most common installation and the flat adapter is normally included.
• Roof - Mounted on top of the vehicle allowing for a better integrated design and more space under the awning. It is also a useful alternative in case of lack of space or width restrictions on the wall.
• Rail - This is not a permanent fixing and is the easiest installation as no adapter is required.

Length: The length of the awning is a key factor in determining which of the Thule awning ranges are available. The ranges cover a minimum size of 1.90m to 6.00m long. The following should be considered when measuring the length of awning for each type of mounting:

Roof - Measure the straight space between roof curves for the installation of adapters as illustrated above.

Wall - Allow at least 10cm space to avoid lights and ventilation caps and make sure the door can open under an extended awning.

Rail - Measure the length of the rail to determine the Thule awning length.

Projection: The depth of the awning will need to be specified and defines how big an area you want the awning to cover. Most awnings are available in 2 or 3 projection sizes dependent on length.

Colour: The Thule awning range is available in 4 cassette colours. This wide choice is often key to ensure the awning and caravan or motorhome colours match or contrast in an aesthetically pleasing way.

Fabric Materials: Thule Omnistor awnings are a better investment than some other brands as they have top quality fabric which is built to last. The awning fabric is printed on both sides and consists of 5 layers:

1. Top coat of the PVC (protects against scratching and fading)
2. Vinyl with painted pattern
3. High strength polyester scrim
4. Vinyl with painted pattern
5. Top coat of the PVC (protects against scratching and fading)

The coating on both sides keeps the fabric colour fixed, watertight, washable and durable. It not only ensures a high degree of scratch-resistance but also increases the UV-resistance and heat-resistance properties. 

The fabric can even be rolled up for a few days, even if it is wet and welded joints allow a perfect waterproof and long lasting awning.

Weight: Thule awnings typically weigh less than the competitors offering and further details of the weights for each type of awning is included in the Thule Awnings PDF which can be downloaded.This is dependent on the size of the awning (length and projection) and whether a motor has been fitted. The weight is generally only a key factor dependent on how close the vehicle weight is to its Maximum Technically Permissible Laden Mass (MTPLM).
