I posted this in another section but have had no replies.  As I go to the York Show on Friday with the intention of buying a freestanding awning I would really appreciate an answer.

Do the over-the-roof awning guys mark the other side of the motorhome?  I imagine that if they are nylon guys they would probably move a little in strong wind.

Or should I forget it and settle for a figure 8 fixing?

The figure of 8 clips are useless as they work loose in any wind.   kiev

I agree - we use the pole and clamp fitting and only through the guy ropes over if staying for more than a couple of nights. Survived a windy Easter this year up in Cumbria but did similar to Kiev and put extra guy rope in to allow for movement,

If you do not find what you require at York maybe the below may be of some use to you.

After trawlling the Tinternet for a good deal on an Khyam Motordome Excelsior ( the larger of the two models) I found that Norwich Camping on tele 01603 717 600 was one of the few that had them in stock. At £329.99 delivered was the better of the companies I had tried.  So ordered it on Wednesday 15:00 arrived  Friday 09:30.

You can find them/it  http://www.norwich-camping.co.uk/products_search_list.php?searchtxt=khyam&recordsearch=yes&cPath=&x=28&y=9

If you just use the main site address you need to do a product search for KYHAM and it will go to the Dome. Ignore the price which is dearer and phone for a better deal if you are going to use them.

Good Hunting, hope you find what you require............Brian

We have returned from the York Show.  Could not find a Khyam Motordome to look at and the Starcamp Moto (whilst looking excellent and a great bargain) was not tall enough to fit our ordered but not yet available motorhome (IH Motorcamper Oregon Re).  So we have purchased a Maxim from Foxwell products, with optional veranda and bedroom.  I was able to do a great deal on this and it was recommended by IH.

Anyway, thanks folks for all the advice.  Keep it up!

We have a Kymer Motor Dome and it errects in under 3 mins - the poles are in position. It took me only 15 mins to have it set up and totally pegged down this weekend.

It clips to the MH rail with a clever little clip system, so you can drive away if you need to - trouble is they are quite expensive at arond £300.00 without ground sheet.
