Hi All,

Just a quickie, were off to pick up our first caravan on Thurs (so excited! I'm driving the wife and probably kids up the wall!) and were looking to get a Porch Awning for it.  Have looked at NR Coniston Luxe and Sunncamp Ultima and can't decide.  The Coniston seems well made and sturdy but are they quick to erect, whereas the Sunncamp look a little flimsy and I'm not sure about fibre glass poles as they tend to be a bit low budget!  Any advice will be gratefully received, weve just had a folding camper when the awning used to take a good hour to put up and for weekends away that was too much. 

Many thanks for all your replies

I've just this week sold my canvas awning as it took too long to put up and was far too bulky for storage. Took forever to dry also.

Back in May we bought a Kampa Rally 260. It is more upright and gives you more head/floor space...Big thumbs up for the Kampa

And me ! We also have the Kamp Rally 260 ! Very easy to put up and we had 4 seated at dinner in it the other weekend ! Just enough room !! It has also stood up to lots of nasty weather without flinching. We have the extra rear poles, the monsoon poles and the storms straps. All very stable and no flapping ! We have a two berth caravan and it fits over the door and leaves one window free. In hindsight I think I would buy the 390 for the extra room but I would have to check that it did not cover up half a window first !

Hope this helps, Shirley

Kampa Rally 260 for us too, brilliant piece of kit, we would suggest ordering the storm straps and rear support poles at the same time, as they can be a little difficult to source otherwise, some dealers appear to reserve their stocks just for when they sell their awnings, due to them being so popular and demand outstriping suply.
