Hi
I'm trying to decide between a Fiamma Caravan Store or a Thule Omnistor rollout canopy from TowSure
Any views on which is the better product - want to buy one of the larger ones to replace need for awning in the summer.
Thanks

But why the preference for one product over the other?
Whats the difference?

We have the Caravanstore too. Started with the regular one, added sides and front, then went to the Caravanstore Zip when we got the bigger van. If you want sides and front, go for the Zip. However, due to the weak £ the prices have gone sky-high
I think the Fiamma Caravanstore is the original, maybe the Omnistor is a copy?
Way back in 2000 when we got our first Caravanstore I certainly had never heard of Omnistor.
The Fiamma Caravanstore is much more widely advertised. Whether it is better I have no idea.------------- Jennifer

We are now on our second Caravanstore and find them very good. They can be purchased at several outlets who usually offer decent discounts. There are also quite a few accessories. I have heard of Omnistor but seem to associate them with motorhome canopies.

Omnistore are better quality - just look at both.
Problems with all these - they will lift up in a breeze unless you securely peg them down. Also, in mid summer with sun overhead, they provide very little shade underneath them - the shadow falls on the side of the caravan.
