Re: t25 awning advice
I have royal traveler driveaway awning which I purchased for 60 pounds second hand .
Its oldschool with metal frame and canvas but has stood up to some pretty bad weather, also the front can be completly rolled up. Down side is bulky and comes in two bags.

Search "awning" - there's loads of threads.
I use on of these - brilliant: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=quech ... 40&bih=774

All I ask is for the chance to prove that money won't make me happy.

No but that's why I like it. I used to hate attaching and detaching the bloomin' thing I used to have (Royal Traveler). However, the sticky-out-arch-thing does butt right up to the door and offers protection into the van in anything but heavy rain if you want the door open. It folds down flat so sits under the mattress in the boot when travelling. Literally up and down in less than 5 minutes - a godsend in 40 degree Southern-French sun or Welsh wind and rain!

Re: t25 awning advice
Know what you mean....the flappy bit that attaches can be a source of trouble especially with the sliding door

Re: t25 awning advice
I had a Royal traveller it never fitted to the van well. Now have a JK own awning, fits perfect and not expensive.

Re: t25 awning advice
I have a royal traveler and and find it very good , water proof and stands up well to very wind conditions , not the quickest to put up thou. I also have found a cheap £20 gazebo good 3m x 3m and used it last year when we went to france , light and packs down very good , downside is no sides . Loads of good options out there and at different prices. Here is agood place to find some, not manyoptions at the moment but it is winter. http://www.lightningleisure.com/index.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The awning was very good but the van is lowered and the awning is tall , the flaps that join it to the van never fitted neatly leaving gaps, not good in rain and strong wind.
The JK awning gives much more height adjustment. JK seem to have got this right.
