People mention it takes 10 minutes to erect the porch awning but fail to mention whether this includes pegging it down. I would say that 20 minutes is about the norm!
I agree entirely.  It can take longer to peg out than to put up the awning... and then longer still to fill the awning with all your stuff!!

My vote goes to the Kampa Fiesta, we love ours (we have the bigger 350).  20 minutes is about right start to finish.  A little longer if we're putting the annex up.

Added bonus is that it's solid as a rock once it's up.  Withstood some very interesting weather over a long weekend in whitby last year.

Highly reccommended!

  Savanne is on the lookout for one too.  She's found a good price at Norwich Camping - see thread here.  That beats what we paid for ours 12 months ago.

I have a sunncamp swift. It's the easiest to put up on my own and it stood up well to quite strong winds in Keswick. Cheap too.

Just took delivery of a Starcamp Futura 260, practice pitch on the driveway 20 minutes with no pegging out, even though the instructions are probably the worst ever! Even pegging out I'm sure I could have it done in 15 minutes. Have owned many awnings over the years and am really impressed with this one.
Supplied by Frontier Leisure, although they charge carriage, that was great too as they give you a one hour delivery slot once it is on its way!
