Simple sun canopy with front and side panels

[borat]

We have a vango cove air awning which was great for the trip we’ve just done to Cornwall, but it’s big, heavy and (despite what they say!) not quick to get up or down. I’m sure we will get quicker with it, but it made me want to find a simpler solution for weekend trips where we have no plan to move. Ideally a simple sun canopy, with option to add front and side panels as we do want an enclosed outdoor space at night time.

So far I’m erring towards the outdoor Revolution cayman with front and side panels. The only other one I can find that has front panel is the khyam?

Any recommendations?

It you're happy with Vango, I use a Faro Low.

Faros II Low

The perfect weekend break companion, the Faros drive away awning works as both a campsite hub for relaxing or a handy storage area for muddy boots or bikes. This lightweight awning with Powerflex poles features Vango's Sentinel Active quality fabric ensuring a great compact pack size, ideal for...

Lighter and quicker to put up than the Cove, 2 sides open fully and the 3rd has a PVC window.

Looks good I’ve just posted about a short overnight awning and was looking at the Sun amp 260 but this looks like it could be a better buy.

How long does it take to put up / down ?

According to Vango 8 minutes with practice.

It is made of a light rip-stop fabric

To be fair, they also say the cove can be done in 8 mins! I’m sure it’s possible

Look at the Reimo palm beach

I looked at it as a canopy but didn’t think it has a front option?

AFAIK there are side panels available

Yes sorry I meant front panel. We ideally want something that can be closed off at night.

If you can fit it in the van this is great. Simple, easy and fast.
