No need to guess - a 'porch awning' is in fact an awning.  The clue was in the description!!

Sorry Steve, haven't seen or heard of the Contempo as yet. 

I did notice that the new 'August' (getting a bit ahead of ourselves here?) edition of PC magazine is reviewing the Sunncamp Scenic Plus and gives it a full five stars.  We have one and rate it pretty highly ourselves.

Quote: I beleive there is a German manufactured version on the market which has had good reports but can't remember the name.

We've got one. We bought it off ebay much cheaper than elsewhere, but still brand new. We took it away last weekend, and it was up and pegged in 15 mins. Absolutely fab. It withstood a downpour and some wind, and best of all, hubby and I dont have to get divorced now, as we are no longer getting clonked on head with heavy poles, whilst having half a ton of wet awning whipping round our legs like our last attempt at putting up our other awning.

  Hi I purchased a Contempo awning a couple of weeks ago took it out last weekend and was really impressed .It really does go up in ten minutes and is so easy my grandaughter who is 7 and myself put it up alone with no problem at all  even with my arthritic hands and the size is impressive a little over 9 feet square and plenty of headroom  ,it packs down into a small nylon  holdall .we were very pleased with it and now two lots of my friends are getting one  because it is so light and easy to handle.

I think I saw this at the NEC and I was very impressed with the headroom which was much better than my ordinary 'dome' porch awning.

i bought a contempo 3000 in spring 2009

ok its very easy to put up  and plenty of room in it.Thats was just what i thought i wanted

but when it rianed it was absolutly hopeless all the water gathered on the roof

you had too keep lifting the roof by hand to shed the water or it would have collapsed

his must be one of the worst awnings on the market

The smaller models look to be much better than this model

hi i purchased a suncamp 260 late last august and found it a breeze to erect and peg down massive inside and well  constructed, only major fault is i rushed and didnt measure my van height first we have an elldis tornado xl and due to the sloping roof ie lower rail height i couldnt get the sides of the awning to fit close to the van leaving it gaping open either side, what a nightmare!! so i'm now about to ebay it and try to find a porch that will fit my elldis, being the cheaper option rather than replacing the van lol.
