We are looking at buying a Daytona awning for our caravan, Has anybody got any reviews ?, but as it is new this year, any reviews on the Montanna 2011. Also any input on which frame would be best for touring & assembly by one person lol
We're on our second Dorema Awning Harry, we've had two Senator Lux both with the Fibre glass frames. I kick myself for selling (giving away) our first one when we decided to give up caravanning & changed our mind even before using the tent we'd bought to take up camping with.
I have a Daytona which I bought on October 1st last year and was up on my van until the end of the month on a seasonal pitch. We have been very happy with it.
We have steel poles because the awning will be up from March to October but I would imagine the fibreglass might suit you better.
I have a Dorema awning, came with the caravan so not sure what model it is. (see galley photo) I'm very pleased with it. It has 22mm steel poles and I put it up on my own with no problems but I have changed the skew tighteners to the Easygrip clamp fittings which make it a lot easier to adjust and tighten. I beleive the new awnings come with these as standard on the steel poles, not suitable for the fibreglass ones.
We had a brand new Dorema Montana size 10 direct from their factory clearance last year for just over £400 which included free delivery, the tie down kit and 3 locking pads. We are pleased with quality and their customer services were really helpful. You can see the green awning in my profile.
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.
