Hi,

Could anyone please recommend a good driveaway awning - something that's easy to put up myself!

Thanks!

What vehicle do you want to use it on? myself and a few friends use the Movelite XL, which is a good size,very sturdy and can be put up by one person.

I have one of these -

Rodeo Sprint Annexe

The Rodeo Sprint - stylish, very roomy, easy to put and very stable in windy conditions, also looks like an awning and not just a tent with windows, which is what most of them are.

if its to erect by yourself then it has to be a khyam motordome ...I bought one specifically so I could put it up myself when I'm away with kids when wifes on nights and its a doddle...I had a tunnel type as previously mentioned and found it impossible to put up on my own...

Movelite XL for us as well, have had it for 4 years. Easy to erect (have to say not as easy as Jimsmimm's Khyam Motordome), one which I observed from our van in amazement as it was being errected!) and completely versatile,as it can be turned into a gazebo, opened all three sides. IS WATERPROOF AND WEIGHS JUST 14KG ALL IN. Plus it has 2 ways of attaching to side of van. It withstands very windy conditions on EAST COAST as well.

I have a "Cube" which is dead easy to put up by myself - I attach it to my VDub but I'm sure it can be attached to other things - you can either use a pole which clamps to the side of the van (supplied with the Cube) or use sliders

It's easy for one person if you attach it to the van first

Pete 1946, how do you get your tunnel so good. We have had a Movelite XL for a number of years and even though we have used it many times - the tunnell is always baggy and we have gaps at the side.

It has got damaged in the recent bad weather in Devon and looking to buy a new one. Is yours the recent model of Movelite (there seems more material in sides) because think ours has been discontinued.
