I do like it, but could never justify paying that sort of money for an awning.

XVI yes?

As well is two words!

Just looked them up. See what you mean, I didn't pay that for my caravan!

We have the Vango Montelena 400, nice awning but I�m not too sure on its effectiveness in the wind (I posted an issue we had in this forum in March).

If the wind is blowing directly towards the front of the awning, it doesn�t appear to stand up to it very well, due (in my opinion) to the design of the straps at the front and also the vertical airbeam at the front.

That was one of the problems we had with the air-awning we bought. We had a very windy night, and despite storm straps we had it slamming into the side of the caravan. We had to get up in the middle of the night and take it down in a gale. I wasn't impressed! Our previous poled awning would have had no problem coping.
