Just one other thing....

I have a Kampa Loo Loo toilet tent that I would like to put up in our awning, but think it might be too tall for the Pennine Fiesta awning (the loo tent is 225cm high) and I doubt that the side of the awning is that high (can't seem to find out but unlikely) so unless I can somehow reduce the height of the loo tent that might not work, has anyone used a toilet tent in their awning successfully?

I did think of perhaps cutting down a lower section of pole and then shortening the base of the flysheet on the loo tent to match if necessary, I feel that the height of it at 225cm is a bit high anyway, even with a 6ft husband, he doesn't need that much headroom!

I also thought of not using or removing a section of pole altogether and then shortening the fly sheet, but the pole sections are quite long so that probably wouldn't work either!

I don't really want to buy another loo tent but it would be nice to section off the camping toilet in the awning somehow.

Any ideas or what works for you would be most welcome!

TIA,

Jane.

A cheap shower curtain with rings from Lidl will do the trick. I use an old pole from an old awning supported on a couple of S hooks from the roof poles to section a bit off. Rings just run along the pole. Doesn't have to reach the ground completely.

Hi we used to have a trigano 415dl which i believe is a similar size to the fiesta and i used to put a cheap un branded fold up toilet tent in the corner of the awning when our friends kids came with us, it worked really well.

would it be worth buying a universal inner 1/2 berth?

Our toilet tent is too tall to put in the awning. We put the pop up toilet tent facing the side door of the awning leaving hardly any gap. Its simple enough then to unzip the side door then the toilet tent door to use it.

We bought 2 veranda poles and connected one to the side pole and the middle pole, and one fron that pole to the front pole. Fitted a shower curtain and it makes a nice area for the loo. We put a small camping table in with bowl for hand washes. the whole thing is about 3ft across, nice tidy wash area
