Hi All,

Has anyone used the PDQ Awning, if so, how do you rate it.  I have seen a website with this on and am wondering how it stays on the side runner of the caravan, without sliding off when you drive off.  Also, does it really take only 2mins to errect!

Thanks

Alan

I've never even heard of them, at least it got rid of the blue face.

We had one (for all of one weekend) last year. The awning is attached to the bag, and you feed the bag through the awning rail, as you would a normal awning.  When you put it away, you fold/roll it up into the bag and zip it. Easier said than done when you and OH are only 5' 6" each!  Lots of huffing and puffing.

This topic has been raised a LOT of times over the past 12 months.  Do a search and you'll come up with a lot of "fors" and "againsts".  Only last week someone else asked about them, go back a couple of pages and you'll see someone posted a link on the thread.

They're a good concept but there were a lot of snags with them when they were brand new (tearing, zips wrong way round, bag collecting water which drenched owner!)

first reports were not good see........  PDQ Awnings

Flack - can I just ask why you're on your second one? I didn't think they'd been out that long, and I'd want a couple of years out of it for £160.  I was thinking of getting a Compactalite 260 or 390. I can't be bothered with a full awning, I just want one for early and late season to chuck the wellies and a few bits in, and the odd drizzly weekend now and again.

Hi All

I have just been looking at & concidering the PDQ and have since read many opinions on here. I currently have a suncamp ultima 260 but find that in breezy conditions it a pain to erect & also flaps about where the awning sides meet the caravan.

Before i bite the bullet & purchase a PDQ i have 3 questions if anyone can help.

1/ Whats the difference between the MK1 & MK2

2/ how taught is it where it meets the van.

3/ Would you buy one again

Cheers
