We have just purchased a used Walker plus touring awning which did not have its curtains for our 2019 540GT Troll and am looking for a couple of items. The Walker website is rather lacking in details.

Does anyone have some curtains and or the draft skirt they would like to sell or know where we would be able to buy them? Online stock availability and the usual channels such as eBay, Facebook are not producing any results

We are in the New Forrest for the next week and then back to Scotland

For curtains, have you got the hooks. If so then you should be able to figure out if they take a standard heading tape and get something made up. But then again do you really need the curtains. We've never bothered putting them up as they are fiddley and I tend not to wander around an awning without clothes on.
For the awning skirt, these are a generic item available cut to metre length from caravan shop, e-bay etc. Two drops are available, I think 55cm for caravans and 70cm for motorhomes. Buy the motorhome drop as it will tuck under the awning carpet which will keep it in place. Do not bother attempting a fancy cut-out in it to accommodate the Eriba step. I've attempted it and it really is a pain. Buy a cheap single step and use this to help put your awning up.

I bought the Kampa skirt for my previous Triton and, because our "new" Troll is a 540 (so has the door in the same place proportionally), I will attempt to reuse it. I just cut two slits up the skirt where the step side rails protrude and I found that worked surprisingly well. I then bought a taller pocketed section to cover the wheel arch, which attaches to the main skirt with a figure of eight plastic connection strip and then to the caravan side above the wheel arch with Limpets. Not sure how that will work with our Triton's dimpled finish, so I'll try it out before our next, longer trip away. Eriba do sell a "wheel well cover" for £33.00 list price, which I am tempted to buy. They also sell a "Windguard Touring" for £133.00... All designed to fit perfectly, of course (note the windguard has the slits built in for the step) - and available (eventually) through your (probably not) local Eriba dealer...

Thanks Colin
The header is a piped profile arrangement so finding a suitable glider may come down to keeping an eye out in the second hand market. I think your idea for the deeper motorhome version of the generic draft skirt is ideal

Thanks that gives some more food for thought. I'll follow up the Limpet and Eriba wheelwell solutions
The interior picture you provided looks palatial!

Don't get jealous, it's not his Eriba.
