Drive away awnings.. where can we view them?

[marsie]

We are looking at buying a drive away awning for our van and wondered if there was anywhere to see the awnings up and fitted. Or is the best option to go to one of the shows. Ideally before summer?

Lol, just missed the camping and caravan can show. Not sure up north who to recommend TBH? Check out your local camping/caravan dealer, bound to have some awnings up but remember it's now winter so guessing limited amount on display. Any idea with one your looking at??

I know, left it till wrong time of year to view camping stuff, may be a good time to buy though. Not after a big one, been looking at vango Altona VANGO Altona Air Drive DNM Awning | Blacks

Give glossop caravans a call they have a separate awning area for caravans, motorhomes and campervan. They might have some out on display

 

[marsie]

Thanks, will have a look

Have you tried Welcome to Norwich Camping | Norwich Camping & Leisure | Norwich Camping - perhaps a long run, but worth a look if you're down that way (and good prices for mail order).
Premier Camping - Shop In-Store looks like your nearest.

Towsure have a reasonable display, at least the Midlands one did.

Ill second that but they dont have many awnings up and on display this time of year.....more of a spring thing!

We have the Altona. It’s basically the vango cove in different colour but same dimensions. Maybe a few very minor differences. So if you find a cove to look at you’ll have an idea

Have a look at a vango magra,I have one for sale used once £550 there is a post on the forum

I got mine from winfields at haslingdon they had a few on display but not set up properly on vans,

Cheers

@dandan88 - you can edit posts you know

@Iggster - have a look here for ideas, then just Google the one you want.

Show Us Your Awning Setup.

A thread that could be a good reference for the summer as the season kicks off. With a range of awning/sunshade options ut there, I'm thinking a thread that contains photos of your setup and a brief review may help others when they are in the market for something. Anything goes from F45s...

I have a Vango airbeam awning with all the bits, pump etc, only used once with my T6 work van. No longer needed as we have a converted van now so selling if you're interested. I'll dig out a pic from when we used it.
