2 x Slight Curved Caravan Awning Roof Rafters suit Carefree, Dometic Roll-Out

Not suited to Fiamma Awnings

Quantity = 2

Curved Roof Rafters are used to keep the vinyl roof from sagging, ensuring 100% water run-off, as well as keeping the fabric tight and reducing wind flap.

The Curved Roof Rafter was introduced to help overcome two common problems experienced by caravaners:

1. Wind flap - Wind flap in the awning causes the caravan to shake which can lead to restless sleep plus cause damage to the awning, frameset, roller, and fabric.
2. Water pooling - water pooling destroys many awnings.

The benefits of using Curved Roof Rafter are great, and can be used with most of the popular brands of roll out awnings provided the recommended minimum usage for the awning size is followed:

Fabrics of all brands of awnings will stretch, some more than others, when curved roof rafters are used but simple steps can be taken to minimise this. Maximum stretch happens in hot weather but if the rafters are removed and the fabric allowed to cool overnight prior to rolling away for travel the stretch is minimised.

Specifications:

• 1.5 to 2.43m extension.

• Slight Curve to keep tension on the awning fabric (this is suitable for most awnings). If you have a need for a larger curve; or your awning's fabric is older and already stretched, please see our separate listing for the ’???Acute’??‹¨« curved rafter.

• Make sure to de-burr the hole you drilled to avoid damage to awning fabric upon closing up of the awning.
