Hello. I have recently bought a caravan after upgrading from a folding camper. It is a Lunar Venus 5 berth. I am struggling with finding an awning that meets my criteria and wondered if anyone had any pointers/ideas please.

Budget up to £1000

must be
- quick to erect, free standing pole or air
- all season
- able to take an annex
- ideally no wider than 330 as it will then start to cover my window

so far i have looked at Kamper, vango etc. i like the look of Bradcot portico range but not sure how easy they are to put up. and experience you can share would help
thanks

We have recently purchased a Kamper rally pro 260, which replaced a small porch awning. It is very well made and easy to put up , they do larger full size ones too!

We have a full size Dorema awning which is quite old but still in excellent condition, we paid extra for the aluminium poles as they are lighter! Dorema do a range of sizes and have annexes available, prices reasonable.
The smaller Kamper is used for short trips or weekends.

Our friends have a larger air version which they like, very quick to put up but quite heavy to pull round the rail due to the air tubes. Ours has conventional metal poles.
