Help!!!!!

We have the above vehicle and are desparately looking for an awning for it - with a bedroom annex would be really nice....

We have recently purchased the Spacemaker from Just Kampers.  I am concerned though as half of the poles appear to be aluminium and heavy.  I am just wondering therefore, if there are any others out there that may be suitable and am open to suggestions.

P.S  This is not for me but for a friend so do not be confused if you look at my outfit!!!

We have a 'chalet' style awning, the French one - Cabanon ?  Anyway we haven't used it for ages as it is sooo big and heavy, but that said is a quality one.

Anyway, a lot of people rave about the Kyam awnings.  They are more money than the JK one, but are lot easier to put up.

There's a lot of VW shows happening at the moment where you might get some bargains.  Also just ask the owners, most people are more than happy to tell you about their experiences.

we have the khyam family sleepover. It is very quick and simple to erect and has a 4 berth inner tent. www.campershop.co.uk sell them with the 4 berth tent, some other camping shops sell them with a 2 berth inner  www.campingandleisure.co.uk

We used to have a spacemaker awning from JustKampers  & I know what you are saying about the weight of the poles -  we changed last year to a Khyam and haven't looked back.  We are just back from Volksfling and I timed my hubby when he was putting the awining up (in fairly fierce winds) and it took 7 mins with another 10 or so to put the pegs etc in.

We have just recently got one to go on the side of our people carrier, used it for the first time last weekend and it's great. The main poles are fibreglass sectional, with just two lightweight aluminium poles which go along the sides inside. Really easy to put up and take down (ignore the instructions and use common sense!) and it doesn't take long. It may be a bit dearer than some, but we think it's worth it - also it looks more like an awning and not just a tent with windows, which is basically what most campervan 'awnings' look like these days

We had the Khyam Motordome with a 2 berth inner tent when we had our T25.  Here it is:
