Hi 

We just changed our caravan to an Eldiss C.rusader. and sold awning with caravan we rarley use awning at weekends due to time spent putting it up. We were looking at suncamp porch awnings, does anyone have one, we like the look of the 3 window one looks like plenty space but wondered how quick they were to put up.

We have the ultima 260, which is the 2 window version.  I have no complaints with this product.  Others might say they have had some issues, but it may be they have been unlucky.

I can normally put up in about 20 mins.  The only thing I would say is they don't fit if your not on level ground.  You'll end up with gaps on either side wall.

Hi

we have had the porchlite plus wich was too dark as well as the outdoor revolution porch awning of which i did like but was not big enough once we got all our friends in. now we have the bradcot portico half awning of which i think is just great. it works the same as a full awning but obviuously only half the lenght of a full awning, so it takes less time putting it up. they come with easy alloy poles, the awning takes about 20 mins from start to finish so its great. we do have a full awning but because it has 4 poles across the roof as well as dropper poles we only ever use it for our main hols or 4 night plus as it does take too long to put it up and take it down. so it all depends on what purpose you weant the porch for determines what type of porch you will need and yes it is right that if your on a pitch that isnt level you will have problems with the side of the awning meeting the side of the caravan properly.

We have just bought the 390 version and used it for the first time last weekend.  Went up in about 30 min, which i thought was not bad for first attempt.  We were on very level pitch so dont know about gaps yet.  It was raining on and off all day saturday and had no leaks but there was a little puddle on top of the awning which i just pushed the awning up to get rid of it. Very spacious inside, we had a table, chairs, 4 bikes and there was still plenty of room for kids to play with there toys on the floor.  I also took it down on my own in about 20-30 mins too.

So after one outing i would highly recommend it, but i havn't come up against any wind, uneven ground, very bad weather, yet.
