Hi

Well having just returned from my first trip in my caravan everything went to plan Towing, reversing, setting up etc. However i would like some advice on Porche awnings. The awning that came with my van (bailey ranger 510/4 2002)was a full sunlite awning although it did its job we just found it too big for the two of us. Can anyone recommend a decent porche awning that is not too expensive that would suit my van.

Pretty much any of the lightweight porch awnings are multifit. We use the sunncamp ultima 260 which is very easy to erect but there are several similar options
sunncamp 260

For lightweight you won't go far wrong with Kampa or Sunncamp but for heavy use in bad weather I would look for something like the Isabella Snowboy which I think still exists and is now called Winter. It can take extra poles, insulation roof liner. For something larger there are loads of choice from 2m up to 4.20m long.
