We used to be able to make do with just one annex on our awning, but now our kids need to sleep in seperate annexes. Our awning is a very nice Dorema Sirocco (size5) with a tall annex. Unfortunately the Sirocco will only take one annex, something we didn't think of when buying. So,

1/ do we make do with one annex and a tent inside the awning - not keen as I've got used to the space in the awning without tents in it!

2/ do we try and find an awning that fits our existing annex, and buy a second annex - a bit of a minefield this 'cos it looks like there's no standard size for either awning or annex!

3/ do we find an awning repair firm that can adapt the fixed wall of our awning to take an extra annex?

I'd love to know what you all think.

Cheers,

Connie

 i have been thinking about this problem,we take our grandson who sleeps in the van.when his mum and dad come for a few nights his mum sleeps in the annexe and his dad in a tent inside the awning.this is no trouble.my thought was to find a way of making a sliding curtain inside the awning,thereby making a sleeping quarter just wide enough to take a double blow up bed.watch this space still working on it.

Hi

would the kids not love one of these its a pop up tent to put up in the awning takes seconds to put up at night and take down in the day.

Hi

You could consider a pup tent to put alongside your caravan/awning, instead of inside it.  I think a size 5 awning is quite small isn't it?

The trouble with making a big investment, is that before you know it, the kids don't want to come caravanning any more - and you have a shed full of equipment that has only been used for a fortnight or two since you bought it !!!

If you don't feel comfortable with a pup tent, then I think I would go for an inner bedroom hung in the main awning and perhaps unhooked and chucked into the annex on top of the other bedding during the day.

i have the size 12 sirroco and both sides come out on mine as wella sthe frontones

how old is the awning if you dont mind me asking as i know they are quite expensive
