What size should you order for your caravan privacy screen?

Caravan privacy screens are an excellent addition to your RV. They can give wind, weather, and sun protection while being lightweight and easy to stow which increases your living space and your privacy. How do I determine which screen to order? is one of the most frequently asked topics at Outback Equipment. It's simple to measure a roll-out awning for a privacy screen. All you need to know is how long your awning is but do you measure the awning's entire length or just the roller bar? Either is correct. Read on to learn how to properly measure your awning.

How to measure for caravan privacy screen:

Determine the size of a caravan privacy screen is to measure the vinyl on your awning's roller bar. To order your screen, take this measurement. So, if your roller bar is 3.7 metres long, you'll need a 3.7 metre screen.

Awning for a standard caravan:

It's worth noting that the support bars extend past the vinyl. The complete length of the caravan awning is measured from metal support bar to metal support bar.

Caravan with Awning that Rolls Out:

A privacy screen affixed to the roller bar of a caravan. It's worth noting that it's the same width as the roof vinyl. Always measure your awning before buying to verify that it will fit your van properly.

What kinds of Caravan Privacy Screens are there?

On wet days, the waterproof range is great for expanding your living space. The most typical reason of screen size confusion is when customers purchase a screen for a new caravan before getting it and are unsure of the awning's size. It's always a good idea to double-check the caravan awning size with the dealer or wait till you get the van and measure and order. If you have any questions, please contact us and our team would be pleased to answer them.

The final area where our customers can become confused is when they are unsure of the type of awning they have. A different sort of screen is required for a box awning (Fiamma or Thule) than for the more usual roll out awnings. If you're not sure if you have a rollout or a box awning, ask your caravan manufacturer or give us a call and we'll tell you which one you need!

Why are awning sizes measured in feet?

Awnings for caravans were usually constructed in the United States, which explains why so much of the vocabulary is in feet. Converting feet to metres can be done with the help of a Google calculator. Awnings are given names based on their overall size. So, if your awning is 13 feet long, it is 13 feet long from the metal support bar to the metal support bar. When ordering a caravan screen, this is where individuals can get stuck. They order a 13-foot screen to accommodate a 13-foot awning. However, a little smaller screen is required to fit within the roller of a 13-foot awning.

Example:

* A 3.7m screen is required for a 13ft awning (or 4metre) since the screen must fit inside the awning's roller.
