Hi all, Thinking of taking a run out to Riversway Leisure on Sunday to check out their awnings.Does anyone know if they have a good selection on show?

It's about one hours drive away so wouldn't want a fruitless journey.

Thanks.

Been there a few times, they have an up-stairs area for Awnings, a selection on show. Always been helpful and competitively priced on all accessories when I have been in the shop on the ground floor

I was in there this weekend (its only 5 mins from us). They had 3 or 4 large porch or 'three-quarter' sized awnings, about the same number of motorhome drive-away awnings, and a couple of full awnings. They did appear to be either erecting or dismantling another (full size?) awning. Seemed to be some good deals on the porch awnings. Wasnt looking for awnings so didnt really pay that much attention.

I was in Flintshire yesterday and they had very little on display. Same for Sunlite. Was really disappointed and have ended up buying online.

I can't tell you about their in-store selection but I can tell you that friends of ours had a dreadful time with them. They ordering an awning by telephone & were mucked about very badly.

When the awning (which their credit card was debited for) never turned up on the due date they were first told (after numerous telephone calls being left on hold for 20 mins at a time) the manafacturer had mistakenly sent it to the store in amongst their stock order ...but was damaged ... then when it still didn't turn up over a week later  they were told it had been sent but they couldn't find the paperwork to supply the tracking details, promised a call back with the info but never happened...

 Our friends actually contacted the supplier & so knew they had  been told porkies. The awnings were still in China being made. Once they had found this out & emailed Riversway  asking for a full refund they found their emails were ignored & either got no answer on the phone, or after ringing constantly it got picked up & they were asked to wait - then after customary 10-20 mins on hold fobbed off again. Eventually after contacting trading standards they did get their money back.

Perhaps service has improved - certainly the price was good enough, and initially they were very pleasant. However my friends went elsewhere for another awning !

I hope it's not out of order to say this, if so I apologise for the post. I would feel bad to keep quiet about this though as I know I'd rather hear of all experiences (good & bad) before handing a lot of my own money over - it's too hard to come by.

Thanks everyone for your comments,thinking maybe a trip to the Manchester show would be a better idea and then maybe order online.

Expecting new caravan end of Feb so would like to get it sorted as the one we have we are selling with the van and it would be too small anyway.

We aren't far from you, we tend to go to Glossop as they have a good selection.  Flintshire & Discover tend to be a bit disappointing not been to Riversway though.
