The Vermont looks like a nice awning, although a tad smaller than the Fiesta and probably slightly more difficult to put up because of the canopy. The Fiesta does foul the windows slightly on our van (the Pageant version of your Pegasus), but I think the window layout is slightly different so you may be OK. It doesn't bother us too much as the material comes quite tight to the van and there are plenty of other windows to open.
We bought a Dorema with fibre poles from the sale section on their website. We used it last week and it was a very good test. The awning was great and not to big at all. We used on side for a table and chairs and the other side for the bits and pieces. It took a while to put up because it was the first time, but in future it should only be about 40 mins tops. We bought a kampa 260 porch awning for weekends and it does cover the window, but we are not bothered about opening that one. It goes up really fast 15 mins at the most. Very sturdy and we had the monsoon poles plus back poles.
Also, not that it matters, but the blue and grey of the Dorema awning matches exactly to the colours of the peggy!
We are after a porch awning as a 1000cm+ full size will be too much of a faff, but looking at the display vans, the 240v ext socket is under the front window.
Has anyone put a porch awning with back poles and pads up with the pad in the middle of the window? Our Sunncamp Scenic will be fine, but I was not sure about the padded types going over the window profile. The windows look flusher than the Pageat ones so we should be ok.
I bought a Towsure Insignia awning and it went on with no problems to my 546. Never had an awning before so purchased the Insignia as it was an award winner and didn't break the bank. Very happy with it but then again I have nothing to compare it with.
It was the full awning. previous was the first time I had put it up but I reckon next time I will have it done within 1/2 hour. The material wasn't that heavy to thread through and the poles are as light as a feather.
