Saw a couple of these whilst touring Scotland last month & neither seamed to look/sit just quite right. I was talking with one owner who said that he wished he had never bought the spacelite and had come over to look at our Sunncamp ultima.   

We've got one, Used it three times and finally got it right the last time, I have no idea what the rope through the middle that goes outside is for though! Try Sliding it to a different position on your van, Ours is towards the back of the van at a high point and we've had less flappage!

Wouldn't trust it in the wind though! The doors are annoying and do you find with the curtains closed it will not zip up properly as its to tight! Have to leave the curtains open, Our skirt for it is massive though,

I think the other outdoor revolution awnings may possibly be better and cheaper!

Its growing on us slowly though!

We plumped for the Sunncamp Ultima too.  I can vouch for it standing up to howling wind and rain for a fortnight back in June too !

Our Sunncamp Ultima didn't like the Scottish "breeze" at Barns Ness.  I think Scottish breezes are the equivalent  of an English force 10 gale. 

Anyway, we ended up buying a Dorema full awning which takes very little effort and time to put up and stands up to Scottish breezes. 

This sounds very disappointing as we really wanted a Spacelite awning.  However, it is just too big for my modest little van so we opted for the Sunncamp Contempo.  We're really pleased with this awning so perhaps it's just as well we did'nt get a Spacelite.

Not got one but we have an Ultima 260 and that is fantastic.  It has stood up to all the rain this year no problem and is very roomy and easy to erect.
