Although we have a Bradcot Portico Porch awning with the easy alloy poles we find it a bit too small and as we are on a seasonal site it is now up for sale in the classifieds on this forum.  It does not cover the bathroom window and the door in one go and we have to leave the bathroom window open during the winter for the cat to get in and out.  At least an awning covering the door and the window will keep out some of the  harsher aspects of winter. 

As we only require the use of a porch awning twice a year for a total period of about 4 weeks we would like to purchase a lightweight porch awning similar to Portaporch awning but it has to be approximately 3 metres in length.  They used to advertise a similar porch awning on ukcampsite but I see it is no longer there.  I think the price was about £140.  If any one can steer as in the right direction we would be grateful.

just for starters I think the price of the larger models went up earlier this year I remember them being around £150 and it seems they have jumped to the 200 mark

 

Good Luck

It seems Sunncamp are doing one similar to the one we are after for about £160 from a dealer. At the moment there is no rush as we need to sell the old one first when someone makes an offer.

Blimey Surfer01, That's a whooping ariel on top of your caravan in the middle picture in your gallery!!! Did you get it from Maplin's, is it a one piece job or does it come in sections and most importantly, can you get channel five with it???

Makes cornering a bit dicey. I have been thinking of reducing down to about 30 foot cos CH 5 is too clear and nothing to complain about.
