Product Information

Full details

The OLPRO Awning Rail Protector is an essential maintenance accessory designed for caravan owners who want to prevent debris buildup and unsightly water streaks on their vehicle's exterior. By sliding directly into your caravan's existing awning rail, this 12-metre protector creates a barrier against rain, grit, insects, and dust, ensuring your channel remains clean and ready for use. While it provides excellent protection during storage and off-season periods, it must be removed before you can attach your awning or canopy for a trip.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I drive with the protector installed?

No, the protector must be removed before you begin towing your caravan.

Is the protector compatible with all caravans?

It is designed to fit standard caravan awning rails, which are typically universal in size.

How do I cut the protector if it is too long?

You can easily trim the protector to the desired length using a pair of heavy-duty scissors.

Does it prevent leaks inside the caravan?

The protector is designed to prevent rail debris and exterior streaking, not to act as a seal for the caravan roof or windows.

Should I use this if I store my caravan under a cover?

While a cover provides overall protection, using the rail protector adds an extra layer of defense against debris entering the rail under the cover.

Is the material UV resistant?

Yes, the material is designed to withstand exposure to the elements, including sunlight, during long storage periods.

Troubleshooting

The protector is difficult to slide into the rail

Check the rail for any bends, dents, or burrs. Ensure the rail is clean and free of dried mud or previous debris.

The protector feels loose or rattles in the wind

Ensure the protector is pushed fully into the rail and properly centered. If it remains loose, ensure your awning rail width is compatible with the standard profile.

Difficulty removing the protector

Ensure there is no grit caught at the entrance of the rail. Gently pull the protector at a consistent angle to avoid binding.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Simple, non-permanent installation
Significantly reduces exterior cleaning time
Protects the rail channel from corrosion and debris
Generous 12-metre length fits most caravan models
Lightweight and easy to store when not in use

Cons

Must be removed entirely to install an awning
Not suitable for use while towing or driving
May require manual trimming if your specific rail is shorter than 12 metres

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installing the OLPRO Awning Rail Protector is a straightforward process. Ensure your awning rail is free of major obstacles or sharp metal burrs before beginning. Simply feed one end of the protector into the start of the rail and slide it along the full length of the caravan. If your caravan rail is shorter than the 12-metre length provided, use sharp scissors to trim the excess material for a perfect fit.

When it comes to care, the material is durable and weather-resistant. If it becomes soiled during storage, wipe it down with a damp cloth or mild soap and water before rolling it up for storage. Always store it in a dry, cool place to ensure longevity. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that might degrade the material over time.
