Caravanstore

Thinking of buying a Fiamma Caravanstore for my coachman Highlander 380/2. Are they any good, thinking it will save putting ip awning.

YES is the answer to your question. Used an awning for about twenty years when there were four of us, now it is only two. Changed to a two berth, fitted a Caravanstore canopy and an attachable "side". There is also the zip version which when complete will give you a complete awning. Don't overlook a porch awning before you make a purchase

hi rob, we use a caravanstore slid up next to our midi awning on our twin axle. we have found it great, but be warned make sure you anchor it down well! last year i only put normal pegs into the feet (not rock pegs) and when we where out a gust of wind blew the canopy which swung over the top off our van leaving a hole in the off-side panel where the leg stopped!! have since made sure that it is anchored well with two rock pegs on either leg and had no problem. the hole incidently made a great place on which to locate an outside ariel point, and hence didn't need a whole new panel on the van.

Very good and easy to use but suggest you use an awning tie-down strap if there is any chance of wind. Those of 3.1m and wider have one or more "rafters" which can be a little difficult to extend and tighten all at the same time, particularly if you do not have particularly strong hand grip.

We also use a Caravanstore. OH has made "plates" to fit round the feet so they can be pegged down better. I see Fiamma also sell them now. Each plate has 4 pegholes. We also always use a guyline on each leg, and an awning tie-down over the front if it is very windy.
