I asked my self one question some ago how much kit do I really need, answer half as much as I was trying to cram in a awning, pop up tents are the answer, and may be ask your self the same question, and no awning lots more space.

Not sure why the above didn't show my comments. A friend of mine has bought the Kampa device and is very pleased with it.


Thanks for that - will consider if other things dont work!

Well second journey out and we had a far easier set-up.

A clear out of the awning rail and some silicon spray and the awning slipped in to the rail with no trouble at all - thank goodness.

Might get a pump to make putting up even easier.

The bed is comfier too with a new mattress topper tho OH still claims its too hard!

Thanks for help and suggestions - glad I persevered- tho the awning was too expensive to give up on !
