Suncamp Scenic Porch Awnings

[Jonathan_5061656]

Does anyone have any comments/experience/opinions about the lightweight "dome-tent style" porch awnings made by Suncamp and others ? We have a full Bradcot awning which is great but too much for short trips. We realise these cheaper (£130), flimsier porches are no match for the real thing, but for the price seem good value. The main attaction being pack size and weight and the fact they don't get as wet and therefore are easier to dry. We saw one at New Year that withstood some fairly wild weather.

Grateful for any comments/experiences. Also, they seem to be out of stock most places - anyone any ideas who has some in stock ?

Thanks.

Jonathan, we ordered one of these awnings at the Earls Court show as we found we weren't using our full size Dorema awning as it's too much hassle to put up for a weekend. We finally used the new awning last week and it was great - it's very quick and easy to erect and provides enough space for a table and two chairs plus storage of wet boots etc. We've now come to the view that the new awning is all we need and we'll sell the Dorema.

Hi Jonathan

We bought one of these last year and find it to be very good. It goes up in about 10-15 mins including pegging and comes down in about 5. We keep the kids 2 bikes, all our boots and the waste bin in it with room to spare. It's also very versatile with lots of window and door combinations. Try Towsure, don't know if they have stock of course, otherwise just Google for it:

As I said in a recent post, they are very good, and I put one up faster than 15 mins and that was on my own!

I have had one for 12 months and it's great. There is a 'plus' version now, 35 cm wider, which could be useful.

Following many threads on the Suncamp Scenic Plus I have now purchased one. Hopefully, it will be erected on our next holiday (beginning next Wednesday).

We bought ours from United British Caravans (UBS) (Wideopen, Newcstle). Delivery took 2 days - now that is service.

Not to mention the fact that it cost less than
