Hundreds of used ones to choose from on ebay. Some have only been used a couple of time and are like new, but with a massive saving over the cost of a shop bought one.

I'd definately avoid any that say they have been used on a seasonal pitch though, because those ones tend to suffer the most with longterm UV damage, which weakens the fabric and the stitching. They also tend to be left up in bad weather conditions for weeks at a time so poles can get bent and fabric overstretched.

We are also looking at the Strand awning - seemed to be along the same lines re: design as the Kampa but cheaper.

Large canvas awnings are now out for us - too heavy to lump about and then erecting them is a 2 man job.    Nice once they are set up for longer holidays but then there is all the faffing around wondering whether to take it down and checking out the weather forecast.

Isabella awnings do look good - frankly they should be at that price.   We had a full Dorema awning that was second hand when we got it - not faded at all and still in good condition after about 12 years use, so personally I would buy Dorema if I was in the market for a canvas job.

Kampa rally air 390, delighted with it, so easy to put up and plenty of room inside!
