There is always a comedian how very very funny in this age of terroism you come up with something just not funny.
Sorry, if you can't take/see a joke, no terrision intended...
Whoa!! I’m sure Loz meant to say “gender neutral, gluten free, snowflake friendly, vegan dynamite”
The title of your post suggests that you may be considering an airbeam/inflatable awning. If so, my advice is to consider the availablility of spare tubes and valves. I have a Vango Kela awning (~4 years old) and an Outwell tent. I have had no problem with the Vango, but the Outwell developed a slow leak during a camp last year. I will spare you the saga, but Outwell will not deal direct with the public and so I had to go through a tent supplier. It took a month to get a spare airbeam. I have seen spare Vango beams for sale in camping stores and online, so I imagine this would have given me a much quicker fix.
Other considerations:
-check the packed size of the awning. You may assume that they pack smaller.
-pumping-up the tent can be noisy (both when using a compressor or a wheezy hand-pump).

I thought it was funny. Didnt even think about terrorism.
Personally I’d also avoid any Outdoor Revolution awnings too. POS IMO
Can't recommend the Outwell inflatables. We had one a few years back and amongst other problems, it leaked constantly. No issues sending it back and getting a full refund thanks to the supplier. Got a Vango Airbeam instead and could not be happier, like night and day the difference in build quality. The Vango has got a tone of clever innovations as well that helps it survive even the craziest weather the UK can throw at us. Highly recommend!
All. I bought a Movelite awning, shocking quality, terrible customer service. I eventually got my money back, but only after a fight.Is that only in relation to airbeam awnings or all Outdoor Revolution awnings??
There are so so many personal variants to this questions it is always a difficult one to answer IMO.
Vango Hex might be the right size but yet depending on your intended use you may want to look at Vango Galli..
If air isn't floating your beam then try Drive Away Awnings
Just think about what your intended use is, how many your catering for and pack size etc..
Sometimes a railsail is just enough.. or even a fiamma F45.

The rail sails are brilliant can’t recommend them enough.
Used it for the first time this weekend.. need to figure out the best way to arrange it.. @Deaky had it nailed at Octoberfest but don't have any pics to recreate it..
Thank you kind sir.. now sort out your calender for some coffee
Very true. We have a £900 drive away Dorema awning. Great bit of kit, but we hardly use it, simply because we don’t “need” it. We use our £90 Reimo beach awning most of the time. There are only 2 of us & we have a LWB van, so space isn’t an issue. If we had a couple of kids & a dog, then it would be different. Horses for courses.
