hi all,  i am thinking of buying a PDQ  porch awning,

are they a good awning to purchase + is there a problem with it being left on the van

all the time,      would like to hear some comments on this awning thanks.

wouldn't bother if i were you, we had ours up twice and we got soaked both times by the water that had collected in the bag even though we had waterproofed it, rust marks on the material, as for the zips what a stupid idea, they zip from the top down, you dont realise till you start living with this how inconvenient this is, if the zip comes out at the bottom it is a real struggle to get it back together, ours eventually broke altogether.

bought it at the caravan show at the NEC in February from the towsure shop but cant find my receipt so they say they cant help me, just hoping can get a statement with the payment on or we are left 160 pound out of pocket and with an awning not worth a penny, be warned dont waste your money aswell

It is not necessary to produce a receipt when goods you have bought are not "Fit for Purpose" although in practice it certainly helps. Try Towsure again, and if you get no joy, mention trading standards or small claims court.

GOOD LUCK!

Hi Jen,

No need - I don't know who you spoke to but we'll get a collection and refund sorted out without a problem (as we have in a number of similar of cases where people have lost their receipts - although it would have to be a cheque refund given the circumstances, is this ok?).

E-mail me an address and date we can collect from and I'll get it sorted.

Have a good night all,

John T.
