Chausson le mor Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Having previously owned several caravans was missing an awning on our new motorhome and having done some research as to which one to buy decided a substantial canvas type was called for. Looked at several brands but in the end settled on a Ventura Freestander as being the best quality available as they are manufactured by Isabella. Price on a new one cheapest I could find was £585 ish. I then found a link to a company called Renishaw Caravan Accs in chesterfield Tel 01246-824140 web site www.discountawnings.co.uk on their site was listed brand new (old stock) Ventura freestander only available in low size (fine for my panel van conversion) price was £329!!! inc next day delivery. We were away in the van in site just outside Hastings placed my order on the weds on Thursday at 2.00pm UPS parcel van called on site and delivered my new awning hows that for service! Unpacked awning and they are 100% brand new unused not a bad saving and a superb quality awning. Just to ad that I have no connection with this firm only as a very satisfied customer.

Chausson le mor Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 Sorry Judge they are all green with steel frames I had my doubts as her indoors wanted blue but the green/beige colour does seem to grow on you!!! As mentioned though £329 is insane price for this quality of new awning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
