Hi, we're thinking of getting a small porch awning for tween season caravanning. Just somewhere to take off boots and wet coats, maybe store a kids bike. We've got a medium sized awning for the summer which we use when the forecast is good but want something storm proof for summer and autumn breaks. Any suggestions - tough, easy to put up and small footprint are our only criteria.

thanks Andy but thats bigger than our summer awning -after something much smaller!

The caravan stayed upright last night but has settled at an interesting angle, stayed dry inside by some minor miracle - that was some storm!

We have a Sunncamp Swift and it's footprint is just shy of 2.5m x 2.5m. It's easy for one person to put up as it just uses a single curved pole at the front - there's no frame to construct.

It's big enough for a couple of small folding chairs and my wife's mobility scooter.

We bought the Kampa Rally, recommend the monsoon pole which has to be purchased separately and the storm tie downs !

Nice awning.

Whatever make you go for get one with rear poles and bumper pads, if you don't want rain getting in especially when windy.
