We already have a Kampa rally pro 360 which is fine for ordinary use. However we don't use it in winter as it is too much effort for what is effectively storage of shoe and wellys. It is also too large to take in the car with us if we need to take it home as it is wet (we are on a seasonal)

We want something mega easy to put up and small to pack away. The sunncamp swift has been suggested and fits the bill at around £100. Looks easy

Does anyone else have any suggestions.

We have the Sunncamp Swift and are quite happy with it. Quick and easy to put up. You should eb able to get it for less than £100 if you shop around.

We also have a 360 and a Sunncamp Swift which I think we paid about £80ish last year, its a good small awning ideal for short breaks.

We have a Sunnicamp, about 2 metres square, biught at NEC show a few years ago fo £49 on the last day!

It has lasted well and is easy to put up, excellent for storing wet stuff and keeping rain out!

I have had to replace a couple of the eyelets in the mudwall. It even had a small repair kit and spare pole sections included!

Definitely a good bargain-I think it was half price.

What about an outdoor revolution porchlite square? Dead easy one pole awning, you can have mine for £30 as I am seasonal with the excellent apache Windsor, and won't use it.
