The curtain is the same pattern as the set that came with one of my Soplair 'Bourgogne' awnings so it could well be of French manufacture but it doesn't look like a Soplair.

Hi Fran and welcome to the Forum.

Unfortunately the person who posted the pic in the gallery (sideways on ) of an awning similar to yours is no longer a member but I suspect they had a problem identifying it as well seeing as they didn't add the make to the pic.

The Eribafolk Awning Gallery is fairly comprehensive and I don't think there are many Eriba awnings out there that are not included. Looking at the external mudflaps and the patterned windows (very '90's) I'm wondering if it's an older version of the Walker awning. There are distinct similarities.

See the photo below of the unknown awning, side by side with Keith and Sue's new Walker awning. What do you think?

The older awning looks very Van der Hornish to me!

Except that the Vanderhorn has a reasonable size eaves overhang whereas the Walker appears not to have one. g8p1242-Van-de-Horn-Sneek-KeithF.html

Yes agreed. However I would be surprised if all their awnings had been the same over the years.
I was not actually claiming that it was a Van de Horn only that it reminded me of them.
The Walker awnings are very close 'copies' of the last Van de Horns before the company went out of business.

The pole system is made by ea systems. It's the aluminium quick release pole system similar to Brad cott. Sewn into the awning is a label saying pan. Someone suggested an early wigo from Germany?

The curtains are also identical to the ones in our awning supplied by Automotive Leisure and made by NR awnings in Yorkshire. AL no longer supply these awnings.
Looks like the curtain material was used by a lot of awning manufacturers because the NR/AL awning doesn't look like that picture. Sorry
