I you have an awning that you sit out in then with a UK spec van point the van West as you will have sun in the van and on the awning for the whole day. If you have a European van with the door on the other side then pointing the van east achieves the same result.

However if it is very hot then doing exactly the reverse of this will be most comfortable as it will give you shelter from the direct sun for the greater part of the day.

I reckon if you position your draw bar (and the rest of the van attached to it) in Florida or as near as you can you should get plenty of sunshine.

Failing that, if you want your awning facing the sun you should point your draw bar north, then your door will face west. (Mr Chile has just told me this, he is a geography teacher, and knows all this compass stuff).

Hope you get some sunshine wherever you are!
