Recommended driveaway awning

Post by Caprikid »

Just want to see if anyone has any advice with makes of awnings?
I'm after a small driveaway awning for storage, not sleeping. Are there any to keep away from?

If you only want the awning for storage do you really need a drive away, have you considered a day shelter? How often will you use it, the Kyam Motordome is a good awning but is very expensive so needs to be used a lot. The only things you don't get with a day shelter is the connecting tunnel and the facility to put in a sleeping tent.
I have been looking at the Ultracamp Day tent £84.99, the Lichfield day tent £127.50 and the Sunncamp Day Room at £139.99. They are all around 3mx3m and have roll up doors so can be used as a gazebo. Worth looking into.

I have a Khyam motor dome as well. It's brilliant cos I can put it up on my own .... But if don't want to pay that much there are lots of cheaper drive awnings or a day tent.

if you want something for storage, with the option of 'offering' it up to the side of the van then I can thoroughly recommend a Quechua Base camp

loads of room, quick to put up and the door canopy is just about the right hight to line up with your gutter rail, ok, so it won't be a water tight fit but if its just storage that won't matter
