Hi, Has anybody out there seen or even better, used one of these awnings? Are they any good?  I am looking for a cheap full awning for occasional use (about twice a year) as I usually just use a porchlite for long weekends. These seem to have a lot of features for the money (can't afford big name prices).

Thanks

John

Hi, I've been trying to find out about these awnings too. They seem to have everything.

Have you had any luck on finding out yet?

Hi, I've just phoned Dorema UK about these awnings. They said they're made in China and whilst they're not the same quality as Dorema awnings, they're OK. They also said that companies shouldn't be advertising them under the Dorema name. I got the impression that they're cheap and cheerful but not as good as the real thing.  Hope this helps - I'm going to go for the Dorema Sirocco instead, I can get it for £389 for my van (size 13).     Carol

Thanks Carol, I have had a Pyramid Tuscany before (had to change due to bigger van) and this was fine for our use but the Cameo does seem  to have everything. I think I might just stay with what I know and go for the Tuscany again (£334 for the size 13 with free tie down kit and veranda bar) although Sirrocco also seems good for the money.John

Glad to have helped, John. I hate it when I don't get any replies so because I was interested in the Cameo myself, I thought I'd let you in on what I found out.   Carol.

I previously had the dorema calypso and had to get a new awning for this van which is bigger. We bought the cameo which I thought was dorema until I read this thread! Going to minehead on Saturday and it will be the first time we have used/put up this awning so will let you know how it fairs.

Hi Linda,

sorry if this thread has worried you but I am sure the awning will be fine. Hope you have a great trip to Minehead and have some good weather. Wish I was going as I have just had to cancel my summer due to work pressure. I will be relying on long weekends only. Will look forward to your holiday report. Have a good time

John
