Has anyone compared the above two canopy/awning set ups. Which is the better? Has anyone seen the two displayed in same location so they can be compared. We are leaning towards the rollaway, mainly due to the price but if anyone has experience/ comments they would be appreciated

We have the zip and are very pleased with it. Only grumble I have is that I didn't buy the bigger size.

Well constructed, good quality, everything you need in the bag and easy to erect.

We use it as a sunshade to give the dogs some shade, or if its raining to keep a dry area outside the van for dog feeding / drying after walks to keep the inside of the van clean.

You can put one or two sides in and / or the front its just so versatile and practical.

I've never seen a rollaway so I can't comment on that.

Van is a Bailey Pageant S7 Sancerre and is 7.1m long in total. Only got the 2.6m zip.

We've used a local firm called Coverall to make a sunshade to go the rest of the way down the side of the van with an overlap. They've used the material trailer side curtains are made from and its virtually indesctrucable. We bought telescopic poles and so now we have shade or shelter down the entire length of the van.
