We have just changed our caravan and purchased an Elddis Super Sirocco twin axle and need to buy a lightweight porch awning. For the last 3years we have been using a Sunncamp Portico Plus until now which we have found to be ideal. However with the door being near the front it would be too close to the drop curve of the awning rail. We are looking to buy either a Sunncamp Ultimate 260 or 390 or our local dealer has told us they have just had some of the Outdoor Revolution 250 and 400 awnings in. We would prefer the awning not to cut across one of the windows. Can anyone offer any thoughts on these two awnings, or any other suggestions? We would probably go for the longer version as we now have the Crusader twin axle.

We are looking to move to a larger awning for weekends away but dont want one that takes ages to put up. (We got our Portico Plus down to 15 mins).

We will still be buying a full awning for the longer breaks and summer holidays etc., but looking for a quick erect awning that could be used for short breaks.

Thanks

Hi Carson

Does the Revolution come with an awning skirt?

Thanks

Hi, with regards to the Sunncamp Ultima awnings, i was told by a dealer the other day that as they are polyester, they "sweat" and you get lots of condensation.

Is this true or was he just trying to flog me a "traditional" style awning. We are looking to buy a lightweight caravan and to keep weight down, were going to get the sunncamp style awning.

Any suggestions?

Hi Martin

We decided on the Sunncamp Ultima 390 after looking at it at Camping International.

For our Porch awning we decided to buy Sunncamp again as we have had a Sunncamp Portico Plus Porch awning for the last three years using it for every trip except our two week summer holiday's and it has been excellent. We have used it in all weathers but cannot ever recall seeing it sweat or get condensation?
