Just bought the Royal Traveller Tunnel from Campershop http://www.campershop.co.uk/awnings.htm ... nel_awning
for trip to Devon next week. I know the Khyam is better but it's nearly 3 times the cost and we won't use it that much.
The Traveller is a lot heavier than I expected but it includes the groundsheet and inner tent.

I'll let you know when we get back if we've made a huge mistake :)

Well, we entertained the camp site putting up the awning! The instructions were pathetic (as ever). It's bigger than we expected, very heavy and a pig to put up :evil: (although I think I'll do it my way next time) :) It did come with everything (except decent pegs!) and was easier to handle when we kept the bits separate rather than all in one bag as it came.

If you can afford it I'd go with the Khyam given the recommendations. We don't expect to use it much so were trying to keep the cost down. If we use it a lot I'll swap it! :)
