Caravan Awnings In High Winds

We were worried our van would get hit by flying debris.

Caravan awnings in high winds.

To say the least it is blowing a gale. Awnings annexes and high winds. Some awning had been left up on unoccupied seasonal pitches. In an adelaide caravan park at the moment with the awning out and the full annexe up.

Caravanning in strong winds strong winds can be very dangerous when towing a caravan setting up on a pitch or even in storage. 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. 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.

We saw the after effects of a storm at the bunree site a few years ago stuff all over the site. Caravan awnings are most often installed on the sidewall. In a recent survey by club care insurance approximately 4 of claims are attributed to high winds ranging from minor damage to a write off.
