Caravan annex types: which one suits you?

Caravan annex types fall into two groups. Some hang off your awning, and some have their own roof. Both give you shade on hot days and a dry spot when it rains, and we make each one to fit your full-size caravan in our Ringwood factory. Pick the type that suits how you camp, then see the details or get a free quote.

Which type?

What caravan annex types can I choose for my full-size caravan?

The first three are annexes. Extra rooms and verandas add more space.

Caravan annex types: a full canvas annex with its own roof and an open door

Full canvas annex

A full canvas annex has its own canvas roof and a full pole frame, and it doesn’t use the roll-out awning at all. It’s built to stay up for months, sometimes for good.

Roll-out awning annex

Our best seller uses the awning you already have as its roof. We add three canvas walls and an anti-flap kit.

Electric awning annex with canvas walls and mesh windows

Electric awning annex

These walls turn your electric awning into an enclosed living space. Each wall is made separately, so you can put up all of them, or one or two for privacy or shade.

Extra rooms

An extra room gives everyone more space at camp. Set it up when you need the space, or leave it packed away on short trips.

Verandas

A caravan veranda adds a big shaded area onto your annex, for a barbecue or having friends over.

See caravan verandas

Which caravan annex suits the way we camp?

That comes down to how long you stay. Tap how you usually camp.

The awning and a wall or two might be all you use. See roll-out awning annexes

A roll-out awning annex suits stays of a week to two months. See roll-out awning annexes

If you're staying longer than a month or two, or living on site, a full canvas annex is the better fit. See full canvas annexes

Full canvas annex or roll-out awning annex: which is easier to live with?

The roll-out awning annex is quicker to put up, and the full canvas annex is the stronger of the two.

I've got an electric awning. Which one suits it?

We make walls for electric awnings too. They use a support and attachment system designed for electric awnings, which keeps the annex stable.

We need more space. Extra room or veranda?

An extra room suits big families, friends sharing a site, kids who want their own area, or anyone who needs room for gear. It’s handy in wet weather, when you need a dry place to sit or store things.

A veranda gives you shade beside your annex, and you can fit mesh or canvas walls to close it in partly or fully. Mesh lets air through and keeps insects out. Canvas gives more privacy and shelter from the weather. With walls on, the veranda becomes an extra room for eating or storing gear.

Will it fit?

Will a caravan annex fit my van and awning?

Yes. We make every annex to order. A roll-out awning annex or an electric awning annex can suit any awning, any van and any common rail size on caravans and other RVs. We measure your van and awning, then make it to fit in our Ringwood factory.

A full canvas annex has its own roof, and we make them for all kinds of vans. Contact us to talk through the options for yours.

I've got fridge or gas vents on the awning side. Can I still have one?

Yes, with a roll-out awning annex or an electric awning annex. You have three options: a half-and-half annex, a mesh annex, or a fully enclosed annex with the gas disconnected first. Tell us which side your fridge is on when you ask for a quote.

Ordering and warranty

Do I have to bring my van to Kilsyth?

For a roll-out awning annex or an electric awning annex, bring it if you can. That's where we fit your track and brackets and measure your van, all in one visit. Can't get there? Anywhere in Victoria, we can come to you for a call-out fee.

For a full canvas annex, call us and we'll tell you what happens next.

I'm interstate. Can you still do it?

Yes, for a roll-out awning annex or an electric awning annex. Our partner service providers can fit the track and measure your van. Most are in NSW, Tasmania and Queensland. You can also get a fitting kit from us and do it yourself. Our fitter can talk you through the measurements on a phone call. We then freight the finished annex anywhere in Australia. If you're on the road, we can send it to a caravan park. We quote freight for each job, based on the package size and where it's going.

For a full canvas annex, call us to talk it through.

What warranty do I get?

All our work comes with a 12-month warranty and lifetime user support. You can call us whenever you need help with your annex.
