We have a Sunncamp Scenic to use on winter trips when we need somewhere for shoes, coats etc... but don't need room to sit in it.  Really quick & easy to put up - basically only 3 poles & can be done single handed in about 20 minutes.  It's been rained on several times & not leaked but has never been tested in high winds.

We also had a 260 type awning with the last van but with the new one we've had to buy the 390 (Kampa Rally) as with the smaller one the awning warmer was outside the awning as it wasn't long enough.  We've not had the 390 up yet but it's the same to put up as the 260 with an extra pole for the extra section.  The 260 was roomy enough for a table & chairs as well as other bits n bobs.  Easy to put up & stayed dry in heavy rains.

Hope that helps!

we had a sunncamp ultima  260  which is about as easy an erection as you will get and we found it very satisfactory. Always loads on ebay at good prices.

We have got a Sunncamp Ultima  260 and a Kamp Rally 260. Both are easy to put up and in high winds took a battering but  still stood up.

Sunncamp Vision XL. Quick to put up (10 mins if your lucky!) and you can even do it on your own, its a bit bigger than a traditional porch awning (hence the XL!) so a bit more room. Wont break the bank to purchase.

We love it!

We have a Bradcot full awning. Wonderful job, but, as you say, to put up for just the two of us can be a bit of a bind. For the longer holiday ideal but for shorter trips we prefer to carry a Star Camp magnum 390. You do need  a very straight awning rail of that length to fit it up properly but they do a 260 as well. £195.00 for the 390 and £159 for the 260 last time I looked. Does the job. Dry area for when you get back with the dog. Somewhere for the wet shoes and plenty large enough to sit out in if you want to.

Find somewhere that has the ranges mentioned on this thread erected. Easier to choose that way

The 260/390 awnings are great and really easy to put up. Might as well go for the biggest one (390).
