After 20 odd years of camping in a tent, we've finally decided to buy an old campervan. It's main purpose is as a day van, taking the kids to the beach, and giving us a base to cook in etc. Although the van can sleep 4, when we take it away for a camping trip 2 of us will probably sleep in the van and the other 2 in an awning (I'd still rather sleep in a tent). So, my question is, can anyone give advice on a good awning in the lower end price bracket? I'll be pitching it against the side door of a Talbot Express, will need an inner tent with 2 births, and enough living space for the kids to do do their drawings etc! I've got a preference for a tunnel type design, and not canvas (which I find a bit heavy and bulky to store, and a pain to dry out after a camping trip). I'd also like to be able to easily detach it from the campervan, zip it up, and leave it standing when I drive away. Also, are these types of awning generally charged extra for at sites?
Many thanks.

Hi,
Am new to Motorhoming, had Romahome for 3 weeks,bought Outdoor Revolution Movelite.
Excellent awning, went to North Yorkshire last week. Moved sites 3 times awning took 20 mins to put up much less to take down.
Left blocks for rear jacks as guide for resighting van and have said will use chocks in future as easier to line up.
Had quite a few comments from other campers about quickly we set up the outfit and how easy it was to come and go.
Great thing about the Movelite, was that at each site we opened up a different side to give us privacy and the breeze.
