Hi Julie

We have a ultima 260 awning and I am able to put it up on my own, it is a bit easier if someone does hold a guy rope whn you are putting it up just to stop it collapsing in on itself. I also have a dodgy back so have to take it slowly.Once the poles are in just a quick peg out and it is fine. It is also quite roomy inside and does take an inner tent. One of the other plus's is that it is quite light. I have seen some good posts and some bad posts about the model but our seems ok.

Hope this helps, i remember it was a nightmare trying to find something that one seemed easy and 2 fit the caravan

Good Luck

Paul

although smaller in floor area we use and are happy with an Outdoor RevolutionPorchlite Promo for short stays, I can put my hand on my heart & say it is a one man job to put up - & quick,we have a Sunncamp Ultima 390 for longer stays - plenty of room , stable in wind & if hubby can hold a guy line ( failing that peg it down ) relatively easy to put up, don't forget you need to peg the edge of the awning tight up to the side of your van by hammering the peg in under the van, we use pipe insulation to stop the material strumming in the wind against the side of the van
