yup !
its the 4.5m bag - which I think is the 410 awning!
its lovely as once out is the length of the van. But its too long for the hightop (grrr) so the arms triangulate and the awning cannot be tensioned properly
Its ok in the sun....but for rain its pants as it just becomes a huge puddle....even with one side dropped. A small breeze and its a gonner!

Why not sell it and look out for a 3m, it's what we have and is fantastic on our hightop

you can cut them back, I've done it to a few, take the legs out the tube then you can slide the canvas out cut pole to size required with a fine tooth saw then temp refit the legs to enable to measure the new fabric width, cut reassemble and admire your handy work!
