That photo perfectly illustrates that with time, patience and practice an awning can go up that looks perfect and quite substantial. The water will have trouble holding on on that roof.

Ferrodo, Good advice and one that I will be following. The Vango air beams are a reasonable price and cheap enough to have them as spares. It's this separate beam feature that finally put me off the Outdoor Revolution Eclipse Pro which has one huge, convoluted single air beam. Get a bad tear or...

woodsieboy, Thanks for the offer but I'm already in tears at how much we are spending on our 'cheap weekend away' caravan. I know that I'm not helping by wanting to get a new awning to start with but a second awning at this stage is pushing my luck here at home.

Attwools were at the Oct show but not on the Vango stand so I'll ask them before I go where they will be. It seemed to be mainly Glossop's staff along with the Vango personnel. I had a couple of chats with Attwools on the phone and they seemed fair on price, didn't over-promise and there was no...

It's hard to find a photo that will demonstrate what I mean but it's the dipped area that lies between the front pitch and the caravan awning rail. It seems the perfect water trap.

Greetings to one and all! In the next few days, we will be picking up our new caravan after a break of several years. My checklist of equipment needed is almost complete with just the awning left to get. We visited the NEC show in October 2023 and after looking at all the manufacturers we...
