Can anyone give me some advise on Dorema porch awnings please.What is the quality of the material and the poles like?. At the moment Dorema have some bargains on their website, the problem is there isn,t stockist with awnings on show near where we live, in Bristol. I know how good the Ventura,s are as we previously had a Ventura full awning, but the only Porch that fits is the Cadet which is a bit small for the 3 of us. 

Also  because of the size of our caravan we may have to go for Dorema as their larger porch sizes will fit. 

Thanks for any replies.

We had a dorema full awning and I thought the quality was really good.  They are the largest awning manufacturers in Europe and their awnings are made in europe unlike some who have them made in the far east.  I will look to them when buying our next awning.

I have also been looking for dealers of Dorema Awnings with them on display. I ended up going to Towsure.I ended up going to Towsure which is an hour away.I looked through the Dorema website and found the closest ones to me rang them to see who had them on display. I was surprised how few actually had any on display due to lack of room. These dealerships must lose a lot of business because of this.
I think they are very good quality, and as been said before they are made in Europe the same as Isabella.

Ventura Marlin is one of the best porch awnings IMHO.

I've had mine for 6 years now and looks as good as new - despite being up for many months over the summer on a seasonal pitch

Ventura awnings all the way for me personally.
Basically get the same aftercare service as Isabella, great quality and you can spot there awnings a mile off.
