4 x Supex 563VA Acute (Large) Curve Tension Awning Rafters (V3.0)

Supex produces Australia's most popular curved rafters for roll out awnings and new to the market is Series 3 of their ever improving flagship product. The 563VA acute (larger curve) version hits the sweet spot in curvature for most applications (around 100mm including the bar thickness). It's no surpise this is the rafter of choice for the leading Australian annexe manufacturers.

New for Version 3.0 is the Stainless Steel & Glass Filled Nylon moulded rail end (which inserts into the bracket provided). This significantly increases the strength of the most vunerable part of the rafter while also reducing rattling noise in windy conditions. Also added is a hexagonal moulded knob insert which stops the screw part of the knob coming loose if the seal with the plastic breaks.

The Supex awning rafters already have many key features & advantages over their competition including:

  • They come with a white powdercoated bracket (to match your caravan's wall);
  • A rounded top surface to protect your awning from wear when the rafter is in place;
  • The rafters are thicker and stronger while still being lightweight;
  • They feature a large round tightenning knob, which is less likely to break if dropped;
  • The rafters are finished in powdercoated pure white (not cream like many other brands);
  • Powdercoat thickness is also greater than the other universal rafters that we've inspected

Suitable for most caravan and RV roll out awnings including Sunburst, 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 minimum recommended usage per awning size is outlined on the following table:
