Just in the process of purchasing a T3 Multivan, and and looking at a decent drive away awning for it.
Have seen the 2 on offer that Just Kampers sell.
Are there any other alternatives at all?

Try a small frame tent...canvass.(no leaks) I found the tunnels are ok but for something bigger we bought a cabanon 5 berth with a side entrance as well as a front entrance
the side entrance allows it to be adapted for an umbilical to the van.
Great for those long stay holidays

Got one of these, just used it for 6 nights in windy Cumbria, no probs. Fixed to gutter with pole and clamps. Just need to make sure it is snug at sides to van.

Got this extra large one last year, bit of a bugger to put up but ideal if you want space

I've got the XL one too - excellent is all I can say. Makes a great card game and ale swigging den. Only problem we had was that the cats in France liked it too - always found at least one cat in there in the morning or when we came back from a day trip
can be erected single handed, but as
ever, better with some help
