Just got back from a 10 day trip using a PDQ awning.

No issues with travelling with the awning on the caravan, it didnt flap in the wind, didnt affect the stability of the outfit at all. Car is a Toyota Verso 2.0 D4D towing at a 60% match, & returned over 30mpg at a steady 60mph. (60-65mph on the clock); I would say it hardly affected the economy. The awning goes up very easily. Havent quite got it down to 2 minutes yet but comfortably in 5. Quality wise its average, poles are lightweight but sturdy enough. Fabric is a heavy duty tent like material & seems tough enough. A bit of an issue with the gaps at the side but it was halfway over a window so expected really. Lots of pegging points around the skirt & despite some really heavy rain it didnt leak. Only issue really is the rain tended to pond in the middle of the roof. Was about 5" deep one morning but didnt seap through & gave the children a bit of fun tipping it off.

Taking it down equally easy, even in pouring rain...!!!

All in all very happy.

Some imporvements...additional roof pole(s) to avoid the ponding.
