I've read somewhere about suction clamps for attaching drive away awnings to motorhomes.  Sounds ideal....does anyone have any information on them?

No have not heard of them.  Last week we were looking at awnings and we we told "figures of eight" came with the awning we were interested in.  Look forward to some further info on this.

I tried some on my VW T25 High Top, they were the ones from Just Kampers.

I sent them back as I could not get the to stay on. They seem a good idea and I think may work, depends on the shape and make up of the roof.

If you have a gutter then figure of eights are OK or the pole and clamp, if not then maybe getting some J rail fixed on would be best.

We don't have a gutter. The only place we could have figure of eight fitted is a fibreglass section above the door, but it sounds hollow so we're dubious about getting a good fixing.  Also not terribly keen on drilling into it.

The fibreglass section is completely flat though, so maybe the suction clamps would be ok on that.
