Hello
does anyone have a europa 540 and use a porch awning?
hopefully picking our windward up Saturday and the old awning is too small so thinking of buying a porch awning,been looking at the kampa (although lookig at all other makes bradcot dorema and ventura)rally not sure which size though.
On the europa the door is at the rear and opens backwards so not sure how this will affect a porch awning? and also how the different sizes fall regarding the windows?
Thanks Martin.

Hi Martin, We have a 2005 Europa Windward & after much research opted for the Sunncamp Ultima 390 porch awning as we have 3 small children we need the extra space & the price difference between the 260 & 390 was negligible. On our first use it took around 40 mins to set up but I reckon on 25 minutes next time including pegging!

The awning comes to the back of the front window but causes no problems & was approx £200 for the 2012 model at Camping International.

At the end of the day it will depend on what you intend to use the awning for as to the size & shape you require.
