The Core Walker Sizing System Explained
Walker awnings use a clear and reliable sizing system to help customers find the correct fit, albeit slightly unique compared to industry standard sizes. The core difference is that Walker's measurements do not include the caravan's nose.
Full awnings are typically sized using something called the A-measurement, while porch and air awnings rely more on straight rail length and caravan height. Understanding the difference between these sizing methods is the foundation of choosing the right awning without frustration.
Defining the A-Measurement for Full Awnings
The A-measurement is the distance measured from the ground on one side of the caravan, along the full awning rail, and back down to the ground on the other side. This single measurement accounts for both the height and overall length of the caravan. It is the key figure used to match a full Walker awning so that it fits securely and seals properly.
Precise Measuring: Ground-to-Ground Through the Rail
To measure accurately, the caravan should be parked on level ground. The tape measure starts at ground level, follows the curve of the awning rail, then returns to the ground on the opposite side. It is important not to cut across corners or measure around obstructions, as doing so will reduce accuracy and affect the final fit.
Tips for Finding Your Caravan's Factory A-Measurement
Some caravan manufacturers publish the factory A-measurement in the handbook or on their website, which can save time. Even so, it is still wise to double-check manually where possible, especially on older caravans where ride height may have changed over time.
Reading the Walker Size Chart Ranges
Once the correct A-measurement is known, it can be matched directly to the Walker size chart. Each awning size covers a defined measurement range, allowing you to choose the closest match for the best possible fit.
Understanding the Size Code and Tolerance
Walker size ranges are shown as individual numbers, such as 900 or 915. There is tolerance that allows for small variations between caravans, however measuring there will always be a single size recommended for you.
Size Discrepancies for Older Caravans
Older caravans can sometimes sit higher or lower than modern models, which affects how the awning meets the ground. In these cases, careful measuring is especially important, and small setup adjustments may be needed to achieve a good seal.
Sizing by Walker Awning Type and Model
Walker produces a wide range of awning types, and not all of them are sized in the same way. Full awnings rely on the A-measurement system, while porch and air awnings use straight rail length and fitting height instead. Knowing which sizing method applies to your chosen model helps avoid costly mistakes.
Walker Porch and Air Awning Sizes (e.g., Maxi, Combi-Luxe)
Porch and air awnings such as the Maxi and Combi-Luxe are sized mainly by their fixed width rather than the full caravan A-measurement. They attach to only part of the awning rail, which makes them ideal for touring caravanners who want flexibility and faster setup.
The Importance of Awning Rail Straight Length
For porch and air awnings, the straight section of the awning rail is critical. This is the usable area where the awning can attach without distortion. Measuring this straight length accurately ensures the awning sits correctly and seals properly against the caravan side.
Sizing for Caravan Height (Standard vs. Tall Models)
Caravan height also plays an important role when selecting porch and air awnings. Standard-height caravans fall within most fitting ranges, while taller models require awnings with extended height clearance. Measuring from the ground to the awning rail ensures the awning will tension properly and perform as intended.
