Hi
Hope someone out there can help with this
We have a VW T5 and a drive away awning - some sites say they don't accept tents but do accept awnings.
So does a drive away awning become a tent if you drive away from it????
Do I need to phone individual campsites and check what their policy is?
Anyone else had a similar dilemma?
Thanks

I have a proper drive away awning, I just book as a campervan with awning and never had any problems yet. I've often wondered about some stuctures classed as 'awnings' though as many of them are obviously just tents with a couple of windows and an extra bit at the back, but a proper drive away awning is obviously an awning. ------------- Tigermouse

We had one of them (..but never used it in anger though)..
Yeah,I think you'll be fine..(..I think sites have a problem when folk just use the likes of gazebos and day/utlity tents,as "awnings" ).

We have a small dome tent which we put up at the side of our motorhome. We have never had any problem on 'no tents' sites.
