We bought one of these , a Driveaway type about 3 metres by 3 metres with separate entrances, all I a nice zip up bag , bought at a show the seller was a nice guy to save us carrying it he delivered to our Motor home !! Put Awning up seemed ok, then at end of Show we packed it away that's when the problem shew up as I had not moved the bag with contents in , my God the weight when packed away in bag , lesson learnt , we put in Motorhome garage then sold it lost £250 , I should have taken advice from Isabella Salesmen buy a pole awning 2 bags just as easy to put up , and as for Driving away from a Driveaway Awning when camped on a field /grass site is not easy.

Think I got lucky as mine’s a similar weight, whether it’s in its bag or not and is much lighter than the metal framed awning that preceded it.
Never had any difficulty driving away from it either, only a minute to disconnect. The bigger problem is driving back to exactly the same position, which is solved by a coloured tent peg close to each nearside wheel.

An awning, any awning is a divorce in a bag.
