In 1994, GH Awnings set new standards in awning design, with the first generation Frontier. Over the years, the demands and expectations of camper owners and coachbuilders have increased; weight and aesthetic looks being paramount. The Frontier MKII version inherits the unique TKS-R system. This feature alone sets our awnings apart from our competitors. No other product can come close to providing such an effective roof to side sheet seal, with the added bonus of quick assembly by use of the aluminum side-awning rail (SAR).

All our awnings are tailored to suit the sides of your camper; cut and trimmed to the exact shape and then sealed to the side with an anodised or powder coated awning rail. To complement the vehicles colour scheme, this rail is very discreet and does not spoil the camper's looks, but creates a weather and draught proof seal

Weight plays a big part in the design of modern vehicles. The Frontier cassette box is very slim (just 150mm), and not that deep (just over 200mm). Also, it weighs 25% less than its predecessor. Use of modern manufacturing techniques and materials, have meant we have retained tremendous strength qualities. The Frontier MKII, is the only camper awning available, that can be wound out totally unsupported without the use of legs to stop it collapsing, although we do recommend the use of the telescopic legs in bad weather. A professional installation is very important and we always recommend this be done in a workshop environment. Performing onsite fitting "in a field" is not recommended, as it would be impossible to affect a proper seal when drilling the side of the camper.

A white powder coated finish and attractive plastic end caps, compliment the slim proportions of the Frontier MKII. Maximum projection is 2.50 metres as standard and it can be produced up to 5.50 metres in length. We manufacture the cassette box to the nearest millimeter, in order to miss lockers, doors, windows and vents. Therefore no compromise is required in choosing an incorrect awning that does not fit your camper.

PVC Sidewall Sheeting has always been the standard but with the use of new high tech materials, considerable weight savings have been possible. Mehler Airtex material is used for the sidewalls, which is lightweight, breathable and waterproof These are very important factors when coping with our unpredictable British climates!
Other features of the sidewall design include: doors in each end panel, meshed vents; windows; and zip-out panels, adjustable peg rubbers discretely hidden behind an inner PVC mudwall, heavy duty PVC outer mudwall, zipped side to front panels, zipped terraced panel in front sheet, tailored curtains and a whole host of attractive design features that will really enhance your motorhome.

CREATING EXTRA ROOM ON YOUR MOTORHOME.

We pride ourselves in creating awnings that cope with the extremes of bad weather. However, an awning is a temporary structure and as such we cannot guarantee it is 100% weatherproof, in every possible area.

Throughout our entire range of windout awnings, one major feature sets our awnings apart and that is the method of joining the roof sheet to the side sheets. GH Awnings started in 1978 and the basic concept of joining the roof to the sides used a keder piped edge and extrusion. This produces a strong weatherproof seal, where most other methods of zips, velcros, clips etc. simply do not work.

The method of winding the keder edged roof sheet inside the cassette has always been a closely guarded secret. Try for yourself, what happens when you wind a piece of string round your finger ? In those early years the size of the cassette box was not a major consideration, but over the years the weight and size of the aluminium cassette box, which is fitted to the side of your vehicle has become a major factor. We have therefore made our cassettes smaller and lighter but still as strong. The latest windout cassettes use TKS-R which stands for Twin Keder Seal, but R is for the Removable keder rod which is located inside a pocket welded on the side of the roof sheet. This enables us to store the roof sheet in a smaller area and it also it results in a flatter looking panel.
