Omnistore 5002 4m Awning

[Oldlag]

Hi, Our Autotrail Apache SE has an Omnistore 5002 4mt wind out sun awning fitted and we would like to know if its possible to buy the front and side panels to make an awning, also does it have to be the same manufacturers or will others fit? Any help gratefully appreciated, thank you

I really wouldn't bother. We had a "safari room" which consisted of sides for a rollout awning with one of our motorhomes and never used it. Motorhomes are made to be able to move on at a moment's notice with everything you need on board and fiddling around with sides (and finding somewhere to store them) just doesn't seem to fit with the whole "freedom of the road" ethos of motorhoming. But, having said that, each to his own and if you are of the caravanning mindset then an awning with sides may well appeal to you.

We've got sides for ours, 20 mins and all sorted, they are specific to the awning.
Only use them if the weather is crap and more than a couple of nights.
Rose Awnings are probably your best bet.

I'm sure you,all be able to find some second hand dirt cheap for that model. A lot of people buy them in haste and then sell after hardly using so the condition will be virtually new.
