There are two sizes 6mm and 8mm, you need to use the size that fits your awning and the gutter of the van;

You need it if you want to be able to drive away from your awning.

WIth Outdoor Revoulution you usually need to buy the fitting kit which is shown in the pictures above. Without causing you more concern I am not 100% but are the XL awnings not for van's that are 2.4m high or more, the standard awning would fit the Bongo, I would check this out with Outdoor Revolution before fitting and using it, hopefully I am incorrect.

Hmmm, I fear you may well be correct Flanners. One listing for the Movelite Cayman XL states the awning rail height as in the range 240 -290 cm
