Hello
I am also investigating a porch awning. Would love to buy one of the bradcot or isabella sorts but need one which is kinder on the pocket. I have narrowed it down to the following:
The porch-lite xl A dome style awning. Watch out for ones similar where the pole round the top hits the side of the van and dents it. With the porchlite xl the pole butts upto the rail along to top of the van so no dents. Found this for £111 plus £8 p and p on ebay.
The Sunncamp Ultima 260. More of a conventional type which you can hang a sleeping pod in if you wish, also comes in a 390 larger size. Found this for £130 plus £4 p and p on ebay. Can have problems with water gathering on the roof.
And the Sunncamp Contempo. This is my favourite but they have discontinued it so its rarer than rocking horse pooh.
The big NOs for me were:
The PDQ, sounds like it does loads of damage, and is so cheap it doenst last long.
And anything that hangs on the side of the van, which also causes damage.
Any of the smaller versions of the porchlite xl, these hardly seem worth it for the little space you get. Some do seem cheap and cheerful.
I think at the moment I am going for the porchlite-xl.
Hope this helps, I have been struggling with the same decision myself.
