Newby 230 owner...

Hello to you all, I am a proud owner of a 230, I have had it for nearly a year and have done essential running gear work to date and along with an Isabella Shadow have enjoyed just over a weeks travel last year.
Looking to buy a Kampa pop air awning to have as an option this year (if we can go) but just wondering if a 290 size will fit it, Attwoolls have messaged I will need a 260 but has anyone out there got another opinion, could it be the 290 does go on? I've found a second hand one so just going to cycle down to my lock up to measure the rail height and length.
Best wishes to all.

Nick

Puck L, lovely van. Can’t help with awning rail length as we sold our Puck L back in 2016, husband still regretting that 🤔

Welcome. I'd get back to Attwoolls as I believe they are incorrect on awning size. The 260 is for the lower height Puck. The Puck L uses same awning as the Familia 310/320. This is the 290 model.

Thanks for your welcome all, I have tried Attwoolls by phone and they again say 260... although alarm bells started when I was told they don't have the 290 in stock!

After your message and measuring the rail height at 184cm and length at 250cm plus a call from the seller saying the beading that slides into the rail is 260cm I am leaning towards the 290 being the correct awning.

I also tried Dometic (who say they have only recently taken over Kampa) but they just referred me to another retailer nearer to me in Bristol who I have messaged so will update you later on that..

Thanks again, much appreciated. Nick

Nick,
the Dometic Kampa link is not straightforward. Lowdhams of Nottingham explaine it to me a while back and it was confusing.
If you contact the awnings department there they should be able to confirm the size of awning you need.

Thanks, no I hadn't seen Ralph's post but I had seen the Norwich Camping and Leisure website, I will give them a ring on Monday, I wonder why it's just the one measurement in brackets... " (except Pop - 168) " that has to be the lowest doesn't it? So I'd guess it'll go up to 184 if the retailers are telling me I need a 260.

Up to 2010 Troll, Triton, Famila and Puck L all had same waning rail height. The little Puck had a lower rail height.
Maunfacturers made different awnings to fit the straight lenght of awning rail of the Troll at 3.4m, Triton at 2.95m, Familia and Puck L at 2.3m and Puck at 2.0m. The footprint of the awning along the van edge are usually about 0.5m longer than these sizes and hence Kampa designations.

I did ring Norwich Camping and after some discussion they said that the experts for Eriba's are here.... and which awning fits what size....

Besides which your last post Colin was very clear .... so, I'm going for the 290 awning (just hope it's still for sale) - a big thank you for the help, owe you a pint I think.
