How much is that one and where is the best place to get it?
The wife fancies a small awning for when we go out in the CV on our own. |

We have a Porchlite Plus and I think it's brilliant!!
We got ours from Barrons - same place we got the cv and it was on special offer for £50
Best £50 I've ever spent, mind you saying that we're now on the hunt for a full size awning. |

|

We have four at the last count and none of them suit us. The largest one is too big to handle, and the porch awning too small. the inbetween size ones don't fit right as our door is at the back of the van and they cover half a window, and one is too short heightwise.
No one told us about the height and to consider where your door is.
The other problem is my husband is tall and I am under 5' and no help putting it up.
We are looking for a half size awning for a 17' van (Swift Archway Barnwell) which comes out further than a standard awning, we have seen one, but didn't make a note of the name.
Any ideas. |

I would advise the one that zips off the side of your van. I think its a PDQ and it stays on the side of your van at all times uless you want to use your other one then you remove it. i belive it is only one pole required to erect it and that has its own cary case.
this may be of some use to you betty. |

I've just bought the outdoor revolution spacelite porch awning, didn't really want an awning, got fed up with putting up a tent but I can see the sense in a dry area to take off wet clothing and wellie boots, and of course some sun shade, heaven forbid we get some again. Hoping to use it in the next couple of weeks so hopefully I can let you know how I get on.
Carry on camping

Hi all,
we just got a Sunncamp Scenic Plus as a porch awning, our full awning will only be used for long stays. I have not had a chance to use it yet but on our last trip out in the van in November a guy on site had one which had no problems with the wind and rain and they are a doddle to dry out.

Hi Millie,
since my previous reply, we have used our Sunncamp Scenic Plus each time we have been out with the van and it has stood up to all sorts of weather, wind,rain and snow, we are well pleased with it and it is so easy and quick to put up and take down. We got our's from Towsure and it was not a bad price.
All the best
