Whats the best type of awning? (1 Viewer)

[gpat]

We have a wind out Thule omnistore and we were planning to buy the side pieces to make a full awning. However

They are a crazy price
They look dead fiddly to put together.
I have heard horror stories of the wind out awning being damaged if they catch the wind with all that stuff hung on them.

We are now looking at one of these.

Although it's an expensive inflatable awning and is not 'drive away', its still less expensive than all the Thule pieces and the installation looks a lot simpler.

As above, we have both sunncamp awning and porch.

Mate that looks good. Can I ask what the channel/attachment is on the side of your van, and how the awning attaches? I have a similar situation (plain wall with no wind-out awning).

The channel on the side is normal caravan type awning rail, it is readily available to buy, it comes in packs of 3x1m length, we used one an a half packs I think. I then painted it with white hammerite using a very small paint brush so it blends in.
