How do I pick the right awning size?

Awning length is measured along the side of the caravan where the rail runs. Standard sizes step in half-foot increments (e.g. 12, 13, 14, 15 foot). The right size leaves about 50 to 100mm clearance at each end. Phone (03) 8383 1026 with the caravan model and we'll size it for you.

Is a manual wind-out or a powered awning better?

Manual awnings are cheaper, simpler and have less to go wrong. Powered awnings are faster to deploy and easier when you're solo or have a long awning. For most weekend caravanners a manual awning is fine; for longer permanent setups, powered awnings pay off.

Can you just replace the fabric on my existing awning?

Yes, if the arms, rail and roller are still serviceable. Fabric-only replacement is significantly cheaper than a new awning and is the right call when the hardware is fine but the fabric is sun-damaged or torn.

My awning was damaged in a storm — will insurance cover it?

Storm and wind damage is usually covered under caravan insurance, subject to your policy excess and conditions. Focus RV is an approved repairer for Allianz, AAMI, RACV, Rentsure, CIL and AMA. We handle the assessment, quote and work directly with your insurer.

Do you install full annexes, or only the main awning?

Both. We install main wind-out and roll-out awnings, plus side and end walls, privacy screens and floor pads to make a full annex. Annex setups are usually discussed at quote stage to size them to your specific caravan and intended use.

How long does an awning install take?

A straight replacement of a standard wind-out awning is typically a half-day to full-day job. A new install requiring the rail to be fitted to the caravan is a full-day job. Full annex builds are 2 to 3 days.

Awning Supply, Install & Repair in One Workshop

Caravan and motorhome awnings work hard and fail often. Wind catches the fabric, a campsite branch tears a panel, a motor on a power awning seizes after a season of dust, or the rail mounting loosens after a long corrugated-road run. Awning work is one of the highest-volume jobs in any caravan workshop and Focus RV is no different.

We supply new awnings, install replacements, repair existing awnings and re-skin where the fabric is shot but the hardware is still serviceable. Most awning jobs are completed in the workshop the same day. Larger jobs (full annex wall fit-out, complete re-skin including arm replacement) take longer.

See our caravan accessories Melbourne page for the broader accessory category overview. This page focuses on awnings as a category in their own right.

Awning Categories We Work On

Wind-Out Awnings

Manual wind-out awnings on standard caravan rails. Supply, install and repair. Common brand examples: Dometic, Aussie Traveller. Typical jobs include fabric replacement, arm replacement and rail re-mounting after wind damage.

Roll-Out & Power Awnings

Powered roll-out awnings with electric motors. Motor repair, fabric replacement, controller faults, limit-switch recalibration. Common brand examples: Dometic, Carefree, Thule.

Drop-Down Awnings & Privacy Screens

Drop-down awning panels, side privacy screens and front-wall extensions. Often installed alongside a main wind-out awning to make a usable outdoor room.

Annex Walls & Full Annexes

Side wall, front wall and end wall panels for full annex setups. Custom-cut to the main awning's length and the caravan's height. Suitable for long-stay holiday caravan park sites.

Awning Fabric Replacement & Re-Skin

Fabric-only replacement where the hardware is still good. Cost-effective option compared to a new awning when the arms and rail are in decent shape but the fabric is sun-damaged or torn.

Insurance Repair on Storm-Damaged Awnings

Storm and wind damage is one of the most common awning insurance claims. Focus RV is an approved repairer for Allianz, AAMI, RACV, Rentsure, CIL and AMA. We assess, quote and complete awning insurance repairs in workshop.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our Slide Out in our motorhome broke just after Christmas (a bad time to break down). Paul and his staff were amazing - going out of their way to get parts and worked overtime to see that we were back on the road ASAP. Highly recommend this company.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We wanted to convert a van into a  RV, a dream to eventually travel Australia. We eventually emailed Focus RV just to see if our dream could be built. Paul worked with our ideas and some of their own suggestions and came up with a final figure. We decided on that day to start our project. Ihsan and the team are fantastic. Not only did they work within our budget, but their attention to detail and workmanship was outstanding. If anyone is thinking of a van conversion, these guys are the best. Their professionalism, advice and suggestions exceeded our expectations and nothing was impossible to achieve. Highly recommended and you will not be disappointed.
