Simple sun/rain shades

[WiltshirePete]

We have a "proper" porch awning with a full frame but hardly ever use it as our van has plenty of room for the 2 of us.

Does anyone know of a simple 2 pole sun/rain shade that lives in a bag on the awning channel? This would just roll out, 2 poles, 2 guy ropes, very quick.

I know of the fiamma type, we had one but sold it as it was very heavy with the poles etc all rolled up in the bag, I did not like that much weight on the awnning channel.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

It doesn't travel in the awning channel but is light and packs small.

I carry 2 of these.

One, the smallest fits the awning rail on the back of the caravan and is useful when barbecuing in the rain whilst the main awning is erected. Just two poles and guys.

It is also useful to keep items dry whilst setting or packing up.

The second is a full length one which is used when the full awning is not needed. Three poles and guys.

Again another that does not travel in the awning rail and thus compromise the immediate use of the rail is Isabella's excellent Shadow range.

Thanks for the advice on these, I think I will get the cheapy one and experiment with it.

Maybe I can devise a bag/velcro system to leave it in place!
