We tried with the awning, large and porch and failed miserably.  We thought we wouldn't bother anymore and get a small quick erect tent for the dogs when we go for a weekend. 

Can anybody advise on these 'clip on awnings' and are they any easier to fit?

Our caravan came with a large awning and a porch awning - both a nightmare and not worth bothering with for two days.  Has anybody any other suggestions for our three dogs?  We thought a tent would be good because we could set it up quickly, put the cages in.

Help!!!!

No instructions.  Two tired and ratty people - only 60 % of the awning (we didn't know that at the time, we have the rest now). 

The problem with putting the big awning up was we couldn't seem to get the poles we had to match up with the instructions or the colour coding and suspected after sometime that it wasn't all there.  We then had a look at the porch awning and found that to be just as bad but just as well we didn't try because it turned out it wasn't all there!  Also, no instructions.  Just put off the whole awning thing on the day. 

We've been looking at the sun camp scenic and thinking they may be the way for us to go. 

Hey Deb

do you want to come visit my house where I currently have 2 awnings (full and porch) and their poles all jumbled into one big bag!! My job this weekend is to try and sort them before going away for the first time next weekend!

Thank you, we'll go and look at them up and then we can work out what size we'll need.

Best wishes,

We've had an Ultima 260 - dead easy.  We've also got the Sunncamp Scenic - even easier but not that roomy, we only use it in winter for coats & boots, not really room for tables & chairs.  We've now got a Kampa Rally 390 that we've not tried yet but basically the same as the 260 with an extra section.

Don't suppose any of the peops who enjoy a challenge will be in the Oxfordshire area on 31st May when we get our full awning out of the box for the 1st time?  Never had a full awning before so no idea how to put it up (even with instructions!)

We decided to go for the Outdoor revolution porchlite.  I think this just may be within our limited capabilities.  We might graduate to something bigger and slightly more complex in a few years.  This looks about an ok size for the dog cages and boots and coats.
