Hi Lyns, you can pick up many a bargain through Ebay, put in your postcode and it gives you the items for sale ina radius of where you live, you can even go and have a look before you commit. Other than that look in your loal paper. cheers gary
Some caravan dealers (Glossop Caravans for one) sell 2nd hand awnings. Also caravan magazines, forums (like this one) have items for sale. Have a look at some awnings to find one you like and then have a look for one thats for sale. Do you want polyester or canvas/acrylic?
Outdoor Revolution Techlite One, 2009, in teal blue/grey, going here for £75, used once only to try it out on our van,as new, turned out to be a poor fit for us because of having our door right at the back of the van, it fouled the front windows for opening,and we had no spare rail to manouver it more towards the rear, but we have seen the same awning fits fine on other models. cost £170 new, if intrested ask the webmaster for my email address.

I got a lightweight Sunncamp scenic plus for my old caravan in a sale a couple of years ago, I only paid £51 plus free p&p. I'm sure there's plenty of similar ones out there if you do a search on Google.
Although in saying that a good used canvas type porch awning would probably be a better bet due to its durability.
We picked up a NR portico porch awning for £35 from Preloved, it's immaculate with the easy alloy system and unbelievably expensive when new I nearly dropped when I looked. Definitely worth a look at some second hand ones.

outdoor rev. porch lite xl is around £90 from riversway leisure
Blimey, they have either drastically reduced the price or we got badly ripped off with ours last year, still cheap and a bargain at £75 though as it is as new .
I think i would rather keep it as a spare than virtually give it away, I have wondered if we could fit it to the opposite side of the van (where there arnt the same door and window problems regards fouling) to make an extra sleeping pod for when family come to stay, but not sure how some sites would react to this, but maybe ok on a fairly large CL or rally field perhaps?

Talk to the owners/wardens when booking. You're paying for the pitch and, as long as you pay the charge for every person camping on that pitch, why should there be a problem? One thing to ensure, however, is that no vents for fridge or water heater lead into the awning if you are running either of those on gas.

I think you are all paying way over the odds for your awnings. I bought a porch awning today in our local auction for £3.37 including commission.
A complete gamble - I didn't even need it but on checking it its a bit dirty - now clean and virtually unused. Even got some spare lightweight poles in the deal which don't seem to have anything to do with the awning.
We are off tomorrow so will use it & check it out properly before I decide what to do with it.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
