janet,159 is the cheapest you will pay
they are great,once you have got the poles in position they take about 4-5 minutes to put up the 10 minutes to peg
they sit on the side of you van and are superd,even in wind they dont shake like a traditional awning
janet,dave again,hope this is of use to you.
you may find pdq under forum search were so people say they are rubbish,i disagree they are superb and of course because they are rip stop nylon they dry in appro 10 miuters
here is the response from the md of the product
if you wish to see a photo of my pdq then email me your address
My name is Bruce Hunter and I am the chap shown in the pdq awning video and the product was basically my design and I am the MD of Pyramid Products
I would like to answer some or all of the points made if I can
Firstly if anyone has had problems with the pdq or any of our products then you have my sincere appologies and if you would care to contact our customer services on the following address then we will see what we can do about each individual problem
cs at pyramid-products.co.uk
we pride ourselves on a first class customer service record and generally we have a good reputation for our level of customer service (I was searching earlier under 'pyramid' on the ' forum and found several compliments for our previous actions)
However back to the PDQ
The product is primarily designed to be a quick erect weekender type awning
The 2 minute claim is something I firmly stand by in fact if we were just talking about the 'erection' only of the awning then I would probably claim 1 minute as most of the time is spent pegging it down once it has been erected. The key point to all this is that the product remains on the caravan and so to unzip it and spread it out can be done in 30 seconds, the rest of the erection takes place on the inside- ideal if its raining. The video was not meant to be any way misleading and I hope gives a true reflection of the time taken to erect the product. The speedy 'puting down' bit was made to make the video fun and not boring so that you would quickly get to the important bit of showing it always on the side of the caravan.
The material used is lightweight rip stop lightweight nylon, it has to be a lightweight material as it was essential that it didnt add a lot of weight to the awning rail and top of the caravan (only 11 kilos) thats also the reason why we opted for a more expensive alloy frame as apposed to steel. The material is tried and tested and is the same as used on most of the new range of mini awnings and the vast majority of tents sold throughout the world. This particular version is 2000mmhh which means it can technically withstand 2 metres of water on it without permutation.
