I am in the market for a full awning, size 13, 975 and I found some pyramid tuscany at £300 new for last seasons models.

After doing some research I noticed on the pyramid website that the receivers were called in a few days ago and this has now put me off. No warranty being the main problem.

Should I still look at buying a pyramid as they may get cheaper still now or pay the extra £100 for a factory clearance Dorema.

Any help appreciated.

Look on e-bay. I got a £1000 Walker awning for £150. Superb condition, came with Isabella lightweight poles.

Was on there home page earlier, August 31st was the date, it even listed administrators names. Seems to have vanished again at the moment though, bit weird that.

I have the chance of a Apache Verona but the size is listed as 960/1000, is that going to be a bit big for my van at 968.
I cant find any brochure or details of the apache verona sizes.
Cheers.

That was a great link thanks, I went to look at the awning, it was a 960 verona in blue in good condition but could get them to drop lower than £200.

Still a bit steep I think for something 5 years old.

hi ist true pyramid have gone in to administration  on thursday the 31st  if your looking for a good awning look at the starcamp awnings and the awaydaze awning range prices are very close to the pyramid range  the starcamp  awnings are part of the dorema group and are alot better and are made in holand like all dorema awnings and are reguarded up the list as one of the best along side isabella the awaydaze awning range is made in china and are imported in by one of the oldest wholesalers in the trade on caravan accessories so have confidence in the brand

We were looking at a Pyramid Tuscany awning to go with our new to us van. Luckily the dealer we bought the van from couldn't get one in. I say luckily because I have read bad reports about them, We went and got a Starcamp Daytona from Towsure as they are on offer at the moment. Looks good just waiting for it to be delivered from Dorema
Towsure and our caravan dealer also confirmed that Pyramid have gone into administration
