Hello All,

I am looking for an easy to pitch and well fitting drive-away awning for my VW T25.  Does anyone have any recommendations?

I have seen the following two,  any thoughts?

http://www.camperlands.co.uk/store/outdoor-revolution-movelite-2009-71374-0.html


Thanks in advance!

Hello!

Thanks for all the replies!

How quick are the Kyhams to pitch?  two person job?

I have a feeling that it might be a little large for us,  only 2 adults and a dog!?

The Khyams that people are recommending are the quick-erect style, the one you're looking at is a standard seperate poles & fabric that won't be a one-man job to put up, you need one like this: http://www.khyam.co.uk/detail.asp?p=348

It's quite a lot more money but we have one of their quick-erect tents that's bigger than that and I can put it up single handed in 5 minutes and I'm only 5'4".

We just use a sun canopy on our T4, occasionally combined with a big Quechua pop-up, but if we were to go for an awning I'd definitely go for a Kyham.
