$89.95 $79.95

SUPEX 563VAB BLACK ACUTE CURVED CARAVAN AWNING RAFTER FOR ROLL-OUT ROOF TENSION SUPPORT

Black powder-coated white aluminum roof rafter with acute curve.


Supex 563VAB Acute (Large) Curve Tension Awning Rafter (V2)
Suitable for most caravan and RV roll out awnings including Carefree & Dometic A&E, 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.

Curved Roof Rafters were introduced to help overcome two common problems experienced by caravanners with roll out awnings:

1. Wind Flapping. Wind flapping 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 is a common cause of awning damage.

The Supex Acute Awning rafter is a high quality rafter with a rounded top surface to protect your awning fabric from wear when the rafter is in place. In addition, The curvature is larger, the aluminium and powdercoast thickness is also greater than the other imported universal rafters in the market that we've inspected.

NEW VERSION (V2): Supex have just released a new version which includes a number of improvements over the original version. These include:

The rafter is thicker and stronger while still being lightweight
It features a larger round tightenning knob, which is less likely to break if dropped etc
The new version is finished in powdercoated Black.
Don't risk getting the old stock - grab the improved version from Campsmart today!
