Going to get one later this week and will test it a the weekend - I'll let you know how we get on.

My parents have an Ultima and it's ok but doesn'r sit against the side wall of the van as well as some other models (scenic plus etc) in my opinion

Got one, and it's an excellent piece of kit. It's taken us several times to figure out how to get it to pitch right, but now we've got it, it's great. It more than copes with a family of four for a week, including keeping bikes inside at night - we had six sat inside, with room to spare, when eating on a chilly evening over easter.

We can get this set up in about 20 mins now, and comes down even quicker.

  I really like the look of those awnings...it's a bit difficult to get hold of them, not in stock near us till mid May and there's only one place that sells them that we know of.. I'll have to put my name down for one.

We have the Ultima 260 and it is fab.  Every time we are on site somebody comes over and asks us about it.  You have to peg it under the van to pull the side walls close to the van then it is fine.

Our is blue!  Highbridge caravans had them last summer and we were smitten.  It is a super little awning and very easy to erect and dismantle.

Ali

Yep I promise you it is easy peasy, even I could do it if I had to!  Hammering it into the hardstanding base is less fun though, oh the joys of a serviced pitch!

You won't be disappointed I promise, it is very roomy inside because it doesn't slope as much as a lot of the others do so you benefit from the full area inside.

Yes we are well equipped with rock pegs these days after a holiday in the French Alps.  Fortunately somebody on here warned us we'd need them so we stocked up.

hi i think i know which awning you are on about have a look at this on e-bay

think it's same type

Hi Andy

            The awning you mention is similar but by a different manufacturer. I picked up my Ultima 260 this morning and although I have not erected it yet, I did take it out of the bag to have a decko and it looks like it will do the business. My wifie and I are having a minor disagreement as to whether to put eyelets in the mudwall and peg it out with the little plastic mushrooms ( I have these for our original porch awning) she says it wont be necessary but I dont like the thought of the thing flapping about !!!!
