Guest Tracker Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Sorry Pelo would help if I could but I can't help with awnings as we never use 'em - not even in our caravan days. Too much hassle and too much stuff to carry and store and we very rarely even bother with the van's roll out sunshade type awning that it came with - I would never pay to have one fitted to a van! If it's warm us just sits out in the sun and if it's too hot us moves back into the shade of the van and if it's too cold us goes back indoors - simples!

le canichot depang Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Hi and welcome We bought one of the movelite driveaway awnings, it only weighs about 12.8k (I think) and packs away into a bag not much bigger than a sleeping bag size, and only takes about 15mins to put up and peg, it is 3metre square. The only things to consider if you are going to buy one are; how long you are likely to stay in one place to warrant putting it up? and if you are going to stay on aires a lot, you can't use them. If you only have a smallish van then they can provide a bit of extra on-site space to put table/chairs etc.. in when you go off for the day with the van. All things said we haven't taken ours away as we only stay a night or two in one place and use Aires, we just use it at our local club, where it provides a good party tent! Happy camping :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGD Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Hi Pelo and welcome. The only awning we ever use is the wind-out type attached to the top edge of our motorhome. Easy to wind-out, easy to wind-in, and as we live in Spain it's generally shade we're after, not wind or rain protection. The additional awnings (Safari room type thingies) have always seemed to me a bit of a waste of time, and a huge effort to put up/take down/stow away/clean/dry out (each to their own of course). Just a thought but....Are you really sure you're ever gonna get real value for money from such a thing.....after all if it's windy or wet can't you just retreat inside your MH, or to the local pub?
