Caravan Awnings In High Winds

If the pegs hold and the poles dont break you should be ok.

Caravan awnings in high winds.

Would be interested to know the thoughts of others as to how much wind they have left their annexes and awnings erected in with out doing any damage. 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. In an adelaide caravan park at the moment with the awning out and the full annexe up. What s more it s easy to mount in the caravan rail.

Caravanning in strong winds strong winds can be very dangerous when towing a caravan setting up on a pitch or even in storage. At a site last week we witnessed a lot of damage to awnings and equipment in high winds. Some awning had been left up on unoccupied seasonal pitches. Caravan awnings are most often installed on the sidewall.

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. To say the least it is blowing a gale. We saw the after effects of a storm at the bunree site a few years ago stuff all over the site.
