....forgot about the rear poles. We have them and use them sometimes. I know some really like them (like Les), but I don't always bother. They are an 'extra' to the awning, which you buy seperately. From what I can remember they cost around £12, but I could be wrong.
Enjoy Belper. Mark. We were up that way over the August BH but stayed at Carsington. Nice little tea shop by the side of the Cromford Canal (at Cromford) - do a very reasonable scones, jam & clotted cream.

......... did you need to buy the fittings which attach to your van?

The pads came with the awning so you don't have to buy them extra. The pegs are better than those supplied with some awnings, but you will still need to get some better ones, (rock pegs, or plastic red ones) IMHO.
Used our new fiesta 350 for a glorious week in Normandy and a very windy long weekend in Whitby (using the annex aswell). It stood up to some really testing conditions with no problems at all, we weren't using the extra rear poles either. Very happy with our purchase!!
Ive jumped on to this thread. I have a Fiesta and abslotely love it. Like many people I have treid various other makes and types. Metal poles really make a super compromise between lightweight fabric and yet sturdy. I emailed Kampa reagrding a query that I had and I found their service and helpfulness outstanding. Customer Service is a rare thing nowadays. Excellent product. Excelent service. Would recommend!

Absolutely agree - but then many of you knew that! Have never needed to contact customer services, but nice to hear a good report.
Hi all had great weekend at belper, second trip out since we got the van three weeks ago. David thanks for update will spend this week searching Internet And if no joy, get myself down to yorkshire caravans next weekend. We plan to caravan all through the year so really need somewhere to take off the boots and wet gear, and 100% made up my mind on the fiesta with the positive feedback from all.
David I've got plenty of rock pegs from our fc days, thanks again
Glad you had a good time. There are plenty of Kampa Fiesta 350s on the Internet. The cheapest I could find, having a very quick look, is £269.99. Various retailers have them for this price, including Outdoor Megastore (don't know if they charge for post). They are £275 from Yorkshire Caravans (as far as I can make out), so if you can collect, Yorkshire may be as good as anywhere. You can have a good look at one here too, to make sure it meets your requirements.
