Sun Canopy / Awning suggestions

I am trying to source a cheap 'n cheerful sun (sun .... what sun!) canopy that will attach to the van but not take up too much space in the van. Can anyone recommend any or point me in the direction of a good website. I'm looking to pay around £50 - £60 (well I am from Yorkshire!!)

S/H Fiamma Caravanstore ? Likeee this :-
http://www.agentfiamma.co.uk/erol.html#2357X0 Can fetch that kind of money if you're lucky, maybe not this time of year though.
Having been impressed with Martin's at the Techy weekend and T'onion's before that I've just bought a new one ... I watched a few go through on Fleabay for not far off the new price so I took the plunge (on offer of course !!
) ~£150.

I've always used a tarp pulled onto topper and a couple of poles on edge... similar to Bluebird Sun Shady. Works okay... We want to get a Caravanstore as price is good and they work.

Hi, there's some discussion about the Easi Canopi (in Cruz's post above), here:

This is similar to the extremely light one I have but it is not a new idea for 2007, we've had ours for 2 years. The only noticable difference, apart from this one being cheaper, ours has UV blocker panels and looks better build quality.

Tex, what make is yours and do you have any photos of it, or a link to a web page? (Just in case ours doesn't survive a forthcoming trip round Scotland!)

Cheers for that mate. Makes me feel so much better
We are heading off to Mull in a few short weeks so fingers crossed.
Nice website by the way, and of course van. I love the yellow.

I'll look through my camper files and get back to you.
OK, I found the site

Mine is the 2 window caravan foyer model, it is extremely light and takes up very little space.

My ears are the size of dinner plates and burn really easily!!!
Seriously though, we bought the sun canopy in an attempt to provide some shelter and stop rain getting into the van when we open the sliding door. I know, I know! It just doesn't make sense does it?!
Never seen a rain canopy for sale though!
