Hi , This is the first time that I have posted on this message board so be gentle with me.
I am looking to buy a new awning for our Bailey Pageant Champagne 2004 model. I have tried to be nosey on site to see what awnings are best, but that just isn't me so I thought I would ask you lot for advice. I don't want to pay for a top price brand but just wanted advice on what make of awnings are seen as good quality / value for money.The size of awning we need is 942cm if that helps.
Thanks Gavin

Everybody will endorse the make of awnings that they own !
I'd advocate Isabella. and go as far as saying look for a 2nd hand one before buying a new inferior make !

We recently got a Dorema Montana with the aluminium quick system frame for our Bailey Pageant Bretagne.

I think it is a mid range awning from this company but we are very pleased with it.

When on site, you will notice the ones that are all nice and tight and fitted properly. And the ones that look awful.
But you'll soon learn that it's the same makes over and over again !

Another aspect you might like to consider is what material the poles are made from.
As good caravanners we are always looking to save weight.
There are more expensive options with some awnings such as aluminium or fibreglass poles. These are very much lighter than conventional steel poles. However, in a big storm, I am much happier with my sturdy steel poles.
I have heard of aluminium poles buckling in strong winds.
