It rather depends on the way you use your caravan.  If you go out frequently for short periods of time e.g. weelends, it could take valuable time to but up a bigger unit.  Also, pitches on some sites are smaller than others - it could range from a tight squeeze on some, to impossible on others.  CC site pitches generally tend to be quite large IMHO so with a 3 metre you wpould be OK here, for most part.  If you do go for a larger than 2.5m awning, it would always be worth ringing the site to check about the awning size before going.

That's not helped with specific awnings, but there are a few things there to consider, IMHO.

The basic principle is the same as a sail on a boat, the larger the area of sail the more power behind it when hit by the wind, the larger sizes are bound to be more of a problem stability wise than a smaller one of the same make and quality would be, no matter how you pegged it down!

I'm glad you asked that question as I've been wondering the same thing.  We're in the market for a new awning too, and with six people and two dogs and accompanying stuff, were wondering if the extra width would be the way to go.  I guess the alternative for more space is an annexe for a normal width awning.
