Can't speak for the Quest Elite Instant Porch Awning.

We had the Quest Elite Roli and was impressed by the ease of putting it up and must say felt very sturdy until we experienced heavy rain and some wind to come back from a trip out and find it collapsed with some poles bent and slight damage to caravan...informed the dealership we purchased from and money returned without any hassle.....

As for the awning we both feel the concept is great just need to have better fixing brackets and stronger poles....maybe they need to look at Isabella fixing system and poles....

That's interesting Zipster as exactly the same thing happened to us, it collapsed in the middle of the night, buckled poles and dented the van.

We had a full refund but they insisted it was just a one off, obviously it wasn't.

Its a shame really because we really did like the concept especially being able to leave on the caravan, the size it was everything we required.....

I would urge Quest not to make the line unavailable but to do a little more R & D to improve what potentially could be a great product..
