Hi,
My hubby and I recently bought an 1999 Avondale Rialto 390/2 caravan. We don't want a full awning really and have never owned a caravan before so don't really know what we're doing    Our caravan is quite compact (small) lol so a porch awning will probably be like a full size one on it !!!

Anyone recommend a roomy porch lightweight awning, we have 2 cocker spaniels who'll be coming with us so need the extra room for muddy boots, coats, table prep area.   I've looked at the kampa Rally 260 but wondering if this would be too big?   How do you measure for a porch awning?

Many thanks for all your replies, we need all the help we can get LOL

Linda

Look at the Dorema Starcamp Mistral, i put mine up easy 10 minutes.It has stood some very high winds and rain this year better than some of the heavy duty full sized ones i have had.

Thanks Blakeney, ours is 13ft, you think it'd be ok then? Do you have a full sized awning as well or do you use the kampa as your main awning?   I'm really leaning towards a kampa myself, they look good. Which model is yours?

Thanks for the replies so far folks

Linda
