We decided to upgrade from our Outwell Nevada M + side extension and wanted something at least similar to that. After much deliberation for polycotton or cotton canvas we decided on the Awaya but needed the additional optional sun canopy.

It was time to bite the bullet considering the expense and how much we enjoy camping, so we blowed the expense and bought the cat a goldfish (as my old Dad used to say.....)

Anyway, after much searching and considering the purchase price either direct from Cabanon or their UK suppliers at around £2000 or more, we found an outlet in Holland that is selling them off and much to my surprise, including the sun canopy!!!!!

"Tijdelijk krijgt u de Awaya 370 tent inclusief luifel"

After making contact, which was in english, they confirmed that the sun canopy was indeed included, a 2012 model, brand new, not ex demo. They would also bundle into three packages to save on shipping costs.

After the Euro exchange rate plus £24 bank transfer fee and shipping, we've saved over £500 on this purchase and still can't believe how lucky we were. Delivery by courier was around three days after the bank transfer was received. Can't wait for the new camping season now! The offer and price is still accurate today:

Hi Rabbit1300,

Welcome to the Cabanon owners family. Its a beautiful tent you have bought and a very wise choice to get the sun canopy as well. As a Biscaya owner we initialy didn't buy the sun canopy and when we realised what a difference it makes they were as rare as hens teeth. I only got one by writing direct to Cabanon in Dunkerque.

We have only had 2 tents in almost 20 years of camping and both have been Cabanon. first a frame tent and for the past 6 years the Biscaya tunnel tent of very similar design to your new Awaya. Cabanon are expensive but the quality is superb and should last you for many years. When you see how many tents some people have they probably end up spending more than if they had bought a Cabanon to start with.

We have used ours in all kinds of weather form scorching to winds and thunderstorms of epic proportion and feel its almost bombproof. Warm, comfortable and breathable fabric which means no condensation worth mentioning,

Hope you have many happy years with your new buy.

John

Just for Mucker - don't want him hunting me down.....

The extra front canopy was just what we needed to match our Nevada M for cooking. The expense of the whole lot was sure worth it and oozes quality. Dark sleeping pod makes all the difference coupled with easy to zip up thick blinds. Black as a coal cellar during the night! Warmer and tons more stable in the winds that week despite not having guy lines.

Well chuffed.
