Hi Webby, Ratty, is ther a full size awning or are they all porch awnings or driveaways. Not about to replace ours again at the moment, took ages to get one from the same era as the van, but having looked through the shop I could not make out if any of them were full fitting?

cheers

Looking for a new porch awning after my Scenic ripped (in a fairly light wind) at the awning rail in Buxton last September and one of the poles scratched the side of my van.

I would ideally like something a little more robust and roomier as we go away alot for weekends in Autumn and Spring when it can be windy.

Has anyone used the Easi-porch yet? - it looks stronger that the Scenic? any pictures of it in burgundy available yet?

Thanks - Tony

New Rangers, I have sent you an email with the full story, but basically i tried both Towsure and Sunnflair who manufacture the Scenic. If they say it's wind damage, you have to prove that you are innocent! It got uncomfortable with threats of me having to foot the courier bills etc so i let it drop in the end. Sunnflair had a massive backlog of returns and didn't have any confidence in them helping.

Lesson for the future - Sunnflair porch awnings are only for use in calm, fair weather - which just about rules them out for use in the uk by my reckoning! Sunnflair advidsed me that i had to take it down if it got windy!! You can imagine all scenic owners in the middle of the night taking them down when it gets windy!

Cheers

We ordered our Easi-Porch awning on Friday night after reading all the excellent reviews. It was delivered first thing this morning (Tuesday). Now is that good service or what?  I have had it all out and it looks brills, cannot wait to try it out. I read in a previous post what the pole with the plastic clip and plastic covered ends was for and it was replied that it was for the roof of the awning to give it support. Could anyone tell me if there is a channel for this to slide through?.                              Many thanks to all involved.

We used our Movelite awning for the first time last weekend. It was great. No problems putting it up, although being novices we maybe could have done a better job when pegging it.

No worries though it stood up to a bit of snow the first night and strong winds the second. It gave us so much more room and it will get used all the time. It is worth taking even for one or two nights because it doesn't take long to put up and is so light. All in all we are really pleased with it.
I have put two pictures in our gallery.                         

How does this stop rain and wind ingress at the sides when it is not attahed to the caravan?

Thanks

Richard

Got my Porchlite at the weekend,,,,,,,, what a doddle to put up, good seal on the van too, Loads of light through the clever skylight, what a clever and strong looking design.
