Which awning/annexe???

Post by Just Dash »

Hello again,
At the risk of getting on everyone's nerves! Yet another newbie question for you:
We need an extension of the van which will accommodate 1 or 2 teenagers for sleeping (not sleeping at all, to be precise!) purposes. Also extra storage and if at all possible cooking (for rainy days) area. Wouldnt want it to be too complicated/time consuming to erect/take down.
I've had a good look round, so far the Royal Traveller is looking favourable.
Any thoughts or suggestions greatly appreciated as always :-)
I've included pic of the one we have, which was fine for cooking & extra storage but not able to accommodate the lads overnight in it.

As we now have a LHD Westie, we bought a movelight XLF (very similar, I think) 2nd hand recently and whilst we have only set it up in the garden so far it does seem pretty decent. We did need to order the internal ground sheet as it was not included, it's needed as there are cross straps between the corners running on the floor waiting to trip you. Ours has a partition in the bedroom unit that is fine but if you want to use a it as a single, the partition won't drop enough for us to use our full size double.

Previous to this we had an Revolution Navigator, it's a huge awning which does present the odd challange on a small pitch but I can totally recommend it.

Waaagh. We've been looking for an awning like the one in your pic for ages. If you find another you want, we'll buy that one from you :) :)

We still have our old Khyam Motordome Classic, 8 years later and nothing to report except a broken knuckle joint in Cornwall, replaced with the spare one that came free in the kit.

As the old saying goes ... It's not what you've got it's how you put it up.
