We are selling our debus awning, possibly the best and most used piece of equipment we bought for the van.
Looking for £50 collected (HP1)
In fact we like it so much we have bought a new one, I bought the new poles about a new ago then decided this year to get a new canopy too (triggers broom). There is not much wrong with this one and in fact having pitch the new canopy for the first time I’m wondering exactly why I bought it!
It can go up in multiple configurations and even be used as a tarp (just reconfigure when you go out to cover your gear).
Depending on the weather you can have it setup as a sun awning or as a porch to keep the rain out, very good in wind too when used in hunker down mode (much better to control than the bigger s+s awning).
Now the issues:
Firstly the poles, the connecting wire has broken on one connection of one pole. Could probably be fixed but does not effect function
The fixings holding the guy lines are fraying, this does make it a little more difficult to tension the lines but not really and only at all when wet. Affecting the 3 front lines, photo of worst. I bought some ratchet guy lines to avoid further wear but not used them (not included in sale but can be bought from amazon for ~£10
Finally, it seems to have gone a little baggy at the back by the kador rail attachment, it’s only very slight but means you need a little more fall on the awning when pitching for bad weather. And having now pitched the new canopy I think it’s not any better and maybe could be resolved by using the additional 2 guy lines at either end (been removed from day one)
finally, I thought the canopy was getting a little faded:
But it seems like maybe this is just me, the new one is even lighter, as you can see here from the bags:
