Please can you tell me if the AL porch awning we have to fit a familia can be used on our triton?
Cheers

I believe the porch awning can be used on all Tourings although you have to watch out for the awning rail height increase from the '09MY. I believe AL sell a slightly taller awning for the models affected.

They don't sell separate size ones for each model so presumably they will fit all. the only difference is the height one as Andy has pointed out

Porch awning.JPG|none|auto]]Yes the Porch Awning will fit your Triton I have one on my 20012 Familia, as the rest of the gang say the post 2009 are taller. So if you are buying a second hand AL/NR Porch awning make sure the awning is the right year for your van.

I like mine it is really useful, it has its own frame so it doesn't have to use brackets on the van and it is very easy to put up, there is still enough room to sit and eat in it with the table outside. Bear in mind that it will probably go across one of your windows and may obstruct your side hatch door.

NB the Porch awning does not fit the Puck

Hi pop top, we tried the porch awning out this week on our triton and as you said, fitted a treat and very easy to put up.
It's big enough for the two of us to sit in. We used it lots on our familia and so glad we didn't sell it with the van. We have a full-size awning for the triton, not tried this yet but would imagine the porch will be much more practical.
