we have the 260 and its great.  We got it for an excellent price from -

www.awnings.co.uk with really quick delivery.

We got ours in green, easy to erect and looks fab - we've have loads of comments about it on site.  Its ideal for a weekend porch awning, but also great for a longer stay awning as its nice and spacious and you could easily put table/chairs in it. So you get the best of both worlds.

We didnt go for the bigger one as we do loads of weekend stays and alway erect the awning as we have a big dog  - also I didnt want the whole side of the caravan covered with an awning as we like the windows open.

You might get a better response from the Caravan forum or the Equipment forum.

We have the 260 which is great for us.  We put a table and two chairs in it and there is plenty of room for our airer.  If you have a bigger family, you may want the larger one but check that it will fit your caravan first.

Yep we haven't got a bad word to say about our 260.  Go for it, you won't regret it.

We fully endorse what everone else has said, for the price its great.

   we have just bought an Ultima 260 for £129 from Awnings Direct, we tried it last weekend and we love it, we also have a full awning which is great but a waste when there is only two of us, and a small standard type porch awning.. i like the Ultima best

Thanks to all of you for the replies. Have gone for the 260 from Waudbys online and awaiting delivery. One thing I have found is that they are very few and far between, most dealers are out of stock at the moment so it must be proving a popular item.

I'll let you know how things go.

Thanks once again.

It should be more than shower proof!  It has a hydrostatic head of 3000 - 1500 is considered the minimum in this country - I would therefore expect it to be totally waterproof.

I think the useage recommendations are more to do with wind speed than water proofing, ie not guaranteed to hold up to strong winds.

What aren't you happy with the 390 Debsj?

(Ps we  could be interested in buying your awning too Jimsome)

It is really really easy.  OH can put it up and take it down single handedly and it doesn't take long.  About 40 mins to put it up including pegging it out and that is on a hardstanding with pebbley area for the awning so it takes a bit longer to get right.  20 mins to take down.
