Vango Kela Awning for Nuevo 2
Hi,
I'm planning to buy a Vango Kela tall awning for my 2011 Nuevo 2 and have a few questions:
- I believe the built in awning is an Omnistor but I can't locate any manufacturers plates or labels. Is this correct?
- Does anyone know if the Kela tall awning allows the habitation door to open OK without catching?
- Does anyone know the size of the Kador strip required to fit the Kela (e.g. 4mm/6mm)?
Any other guidance or advise on awnings welcome.
Thanks a lot.
Pompeymike.

Usually the 'hole' in the Thule Omnistor/Fiamma is 4mm and the plastic double sided figure of 8 thing is 6mm.
I tried a Kela out on my van a few weeks back. Nice awning but I came to the conclusion it was really too heavy to regularly manoeuvre up there on the side of the van. Air awnings are fine, in theory and go up easily once positioned but they are heavy, simply because they're basically all in one. At least with a trad awning the frame was separate and whilst overall it was heavier, because you assemble it in bits you don't have to lug such heavy stuff around.
