Hoping someone can help, trawled through masses of awning questions but can't find the answer!

Are the heavier/traditional awnings cooler than our lightweight Kampa Rally 260? We are looking to get a sturdier, slightly larger porch awning and just wondered if they were. Happy enough with our Kampa but when the wind picks up we do get a bit worried. Traditional awnings always seem to be the most sturdy on site.

Thanks

Help Choose Awning

we are still undecided as to which awnings to go for. We have managed to find a bargain Isabella Magnum large porch awning second hand we are going to try out on our first trip next weekend. I really dont like the look of the lightweight ones that look like a tent on the side of a van. After having made the move from polyester tents to canvas tents I know how much better canvas is. I hated the flapping the polyester tents did in the wind and I'm guessing a poly awning will be much the same.

Think we'll end up with three awnings eventually, the Magnum for long weekends/ early late season trips in UK, a full awning for our annual 2-3 wk France trip that we can zip the panels out of the sun rears its head and a smaller porch like the Isabella Minor or Bradcot Portico for 1-2 night stays when the weather is good in the UK.

Its all a bit of a minefield isnt it.
