Side for Fiamma caravanstore

We have a Fiamma caravanstore. On the Eriba the roof has to be raised to horizontal or the door catches when you open it. (The zip bag was a bit of a problem too but I've sorted that with velcro patches). The Fiamma sides for the Caravanstore need the roof to be at an angle as it would be on a WWB (or they will end up at an odd angle at the bottom). How have folk got round that please as we'd like a side for protection from drafts! (Pictures would be helpful).

Yes strong Velcro did the job for us on our Puck L.

Raising the pop top has no connection with the C'Store.

Not sure what you mean by WWB, We can slope the C/Store so the rain runs off by adjustng the legs.

110. 11.07.14 La Bonnette Caylus.JPG - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)If you look at a Fiamma website the awning rail height and canopy roof angle is crucial for fitting the sides. I think some Eriba owners have altered caravanstore sides to make them fit - but I'm not that good at DIY and some put a second awning rail on higher up - certainly don't want to go altering things on a new Troll! Anyway I think the best idea is to take the porch awning when the weather likely to be inclement (and maybe later just get a front blocker for the caravanstore - which will fit). Yes, when it rains we just dip one of the caravanstore legs to let the water run off. No that's not a Troll - but we're still using the same canopy.

It's a Triton 430. It was lovely but we realised not quite what we wanted so upgraded to the Troll.

Sorry! You need a 280. The length of the bag that fits into the awning rail is actually 288 cm. Do check on yours and measure the straight part of the awning rail. If you are buying online do surf about as there's quite a difference in prices. (We are using the same one on the Troll as the next size up is just too big).

When we had a CaravanStore and wanted a side panel, we (Scottish) baulked at the price. Quick measurement and we adapted a fabric throw which hung down and gave us privacy. Couple or three tent pegs in the ground, bunch-up the material and attach with string or whatever. It was much admired.
