hi starcamp are part of dorema group the starcamp daytona is like all dorema awnings manufactured in holland  the quality of the starcamp and dorema awnings are classed as one of the best  awnings you can buy  these are not manufactured in china like  a few i can mention as the chinese material used is of lower quality.

availability  on dorema and starcamp is very good as they keep up to 10,000 awnings in stock at all times which is great for dealers like ourselfs

I am currently using a Starcamp Futura 260 porch awning. Love it! It offers a good fit to the caravan and it very quick to put up. I love the fact that I can open up the front by just rolling up the panels and there are no fiddly curtains to put up - it comes with blinds built in that just velcro down in place or roll up out the way. There are doors either side and each has a mesh option. It looks as though there is an option for an inner tent also. I like it so much I am going to sell my full awning as I know for sure that I won't be using it again. This awning gives us more than enough space and fits into one bag. Plus, two of my windows are free of awning, letting in tonnes of precious light.
I also like the fact that even if I put it down wet, it won't take long at all to dry out, it's like tent material. No more huge awning panels drying around the house for 2 days! Love it!

We got a new Startcamp cameo as part of the deal when we bought our van. I was told by the dealer that Starcamp is part of the Dorema group but the awnings are made in a different factory.

Overall we're happy with the awning and they do seem to be good value (mind you I’m no expert).

On the downside one of the clamps stripped a thread on the first outing, easily replaced but a pain. Also had a slight problem with one of the zips, this seems to be ok now but Dorema customer service (via the dealer) have agreed to take a look at it at the end of the season ,as we didn't want to be without it during the summer and fix if required.

So a couple of minor problems but good customer service and good value.

Hi

I have 2 Starcamp Awnings, 1 Quatro proch arwning and a full size one.  They are easy to put up and the material is ideal.

Even during if packed up wet the material does not retain the water so it can be put back up to dry properly even weeks after (if that your only opertunity to do so) and it does not go mouldy.

Cheers

Richard

I am glad to hear they are good. We have just ordered a new daytona awning to go with the new caravan........had a result as originally ordered the Cameo from our dealer but as they didn't have the colour in stock they gave us a free upgrade to the Daytona. We also opted for the aluminum pole upgrades and they included the storm strap kit and the easy fix brackets. Think we got a better deal as we ordered it with the van.

Full size Starcamp Daytona in Charcoal.  Beautifully made and strong.  Very easy to clean and most importantly after a horrendous summer of rain, it has proven itself to be extremely water tight.

We purchased a StarCamp Sprinter Awning in 2011 and very happy with it and due to our grandson loving caravaning we now require an annex.but they are no longer manufacture the Sprinter any more. Does anyone have an annex and would be willing to sell it??

We have had a Daytona now at the end of it's second season on a seasonal pitch so has effectively had 16 months constant use. It has faded a little this year but, other than that, we are still very happy with it.

Hunty1522 - have you tried ringing Dorema Customer Services and asking whether any other annexe will fit your awning? When I had a Dorema Sirocco on my last van, they were extremely helpful and told me of 4 other Dorema annexes which would fit my awning.
