Good evening, im thinking of buying a Camptech Duches 340 porch awning.
Does any one have a review, a view or experience of this awning. Would appreciate any advice

If you want an honest opinion, it looks cheap and at that price is cheap for what it purports to be. Were it me, and this is only my opinion, I would look on Gumtree and find an Isabella Magnum Coal which you should be able to pick up for the same money, and probably with CarbonX poles. If you do, dont worry if its a few years old as long as it is in good condition. Isabella are the best there is, and looked after properly will last for many years and never look old fashioned.

For example
Isabella magnum 340x250 GREAT CONDITION | in Waterlooville, Hampshire | Gumtree

I have put into Google "Camptech Duchess reviews" and on trustpilot it makes interesting reading. You may wish to do the same.

Look at the Caravan and Motorhome Club Classifieds. You often get Isabella midi awnings for sale. That’s where I bought my Magnum. Other decent makes are Bradcot and Dorema if they meet your needs.

We own a Bradcot some time ago it had a alloy frame

Isn't alloy quite heavy in comparison to carbon fibre?

Slightly more but significantly weaker. Stick to carbon fibre👍👍

When we had this we were seasonal so we wanted a heavy frame and we use to leave it up on site with no problems

We upgraded to a Outdoor Revolution Compactalite pro carbon 325 EX we brought this for the extra room the dogs use to sleep in the Annexe when were seasonal

Looks too cheap to be any good but never tried one. We have a Bradcot and that has proved very good. basically you get what you pay for. You might find a bargain for one of the better makes second hand which would give you a cheaper way to find out what you make of it.
Do check the measurements of your windows from the door, as if you are not careful you can end up with a pole across one, which while not fatal, is not too good.

We have one of these, very good, seldom use it now. Used it mostly in France for two week stays at sites, then move for another two weeks. easy to pitch and pack. Splintered one pole though.

We had it while we were Seasonal and we found it very good and got a good price when we sold it
