Hi

We are thinking about buying a canopy awning and have looked at the Fiamma Caravanstore as being a good solid one.  We're a bit concerned though that it states that the awning isn't suitable for rain as it's meant for shade only.  Has anyone got a Caravanstore - and if so, what are the drawbacks with it, if any?  Our other alternative would be to buy a porch awning, but the canopy just seemed so quick and easy to assemble

Hope you can help

Thanks

Joan

I've never used one to be honest, but I would worry about the weight it would put on the awning rail/bouncing about while travelling.  Might be OK though - perhaps someone will be along soon with experience of the Fiamma.

No experience of that one but I have the OR Easi Canopi
http://www.explore-leisure.co.uk/1easi%20canopi.html

They said it's to be used for shade and light showers only but mine survived heavy wind and rain with no problems at all.

Very light and easy to use (I erected it solo in about 5 minutes) and I'm a short, unfit mum of 3!!

I have a caravanstore and it is great in the rain. Very waterproof. And a solid piece of kit.
