Hi long time listener, first time caller....
I have 17.56 expanda with a 14' carefree awning which is pretty deteriorated. Any suggestions where to buy a new awning/ roller/ antiflap kits? ( I live in Adelaide but happy to buy online) I am also happy to fit a new awning myself but can't seem to find any at a reasonable price.
Thanks

can anyone confirm that the awning size for a 17.56.2 expanda would always be the 14 foot? My measurement between the awning legs says 4.03m, which is neither 13 foot nor 14 foot!

If you go to caravansplus.com.au they have the whole lay out on how to measure up for various awning types and which one will fit.......not all vans have the same set up so comparisons may not work.

Thanks Drover, I discovered that the new 'Measure' app on the iphone wasn't accurate to measure the distance between the centre of the 2 posts (as recommended on the caravansplus website) and was measuring between 13 and 14 feet, which was causing my confusion, but with the trusty tape measure it measures exactly 14 feet. Hooray! Thanks for your reply, we have a new one on the way!

Nothing like handraulic solutions, beats techno stuff most of the time.
