I bought a Sunncamp Cardinal awning a couple of months ago. It was the 2005 model but had only been used three time. After I worked the poles out, mind it was Easter and it was trying to snow and blowing a gale, not the best time to try an awning out, it was a joy to put up.
I have used it since and have managed to put the awning up viturally on my own, although it is only a 12/13 ft awning.
The finish is great, you do have to watch the first few time using it as if it rains it can come through the seams until they bond, this is only temporary. The overall effect is excellent and now that I have moved onto a bigger caravan if mine does not fit I will most certainly buy another Cardinal.
Hope this helps.
