bobsbabes - I have to disagree about the quality, but you do get what you pay for. I looked around the show in London a few months ago and found the Pyramid 390 the best for the price £125. I weighed up the time I would be wanting the awning for 3 years and based my decision on that. What pyramid awning did you have to base your decision on. I believe that most of these type of awnings are manufactured by similar design. However My complaint would be that the upright poles and roof poles need to be stronger. But other than that it is a competent weekend awning.

Hi Bobsbabes - I must admit if I were buying a full awning I think I would go for a decent acrylic type. Which I have and use for a week or above but for weekends the cheapo Balmoral at the price of £125 should be good enough as long as I can get stronger poles for the uprights.

We had a couple of Tuscany full awnings (different vans) that were fine for the price.

However we then bought a Corsican Ultra Porch which was a poor design with a flatish roof & no middle peak. This meant it would not drain easily if your pitch was not perfectly flat. Heavy rain last summer meant it stretched irrecoverably.  Shame as the awning was the higher quality material & a good size for our van, but poor design was the downfall.

I note that the current full awning type porch awning on their website now has a pitched roof to reduce this issue.

I also found the people at Pyramid in Nottinghamshire very helpful if you had any queries.
