Hi,
I have had an Eriba Puck for a year now and love it! It's a 1990, in very good condition and very comfortable.
It came to me with an awning which is good to use when I have friends staying with me but I am now looking for something that is a bit smaller and quicker to put up....think what I am looking for is called a porch awning.
Please could someone help with advise about small, easy to erect porch awnings for a 1990 Puck? Or am I seeking the impossible?!!
Cheers!

Not sure if you are new in here but nice to hear from you anyway. Sorry, can't help with the awning issue but someone will.

Doesn't a porch awning have the same number of frame elements as a full awning? The difference is the fabric size.

I have a Khyam tailgate tent for my van which is based on the Khyam motordome, and I can put this up and peg down in 15 mins. These are of the same genre as the ones Randa mentioned (also Outwell and Vango) and are all pictured in the awning section. The quick up awnings are made from tent material so you will get some wind rustle compared to the heavier material of the traditional awnings. Member Ellen has a Khyam if you want to know more.

Just thought, Khyam also due a sun canopy that I want for the side of the van. It has sides and a front that can be purchased separately that might be worth looking at. it seems very versatile. I have no experience of them but their other products are good quality.

Thank you for that information. I have spoken to AL today and they say that the porch tent will not fit my Puck. So will look for something else which is hopefully bit cheaper too!

Thank you very much Randa, that's great information for me to work on!
It seems that these types of awnings for motor/campervans are better value than the caravan awnings which are too big for my little Puck anyway!
Cheers

You must be right but I was thinking something smaller/with less fabric might be easier/lighter for me to put up by myself!!
Thanks anyway.

Thanks very much for all the information and suggestions! I will have a look at the Khyam products.

Yes just joined today! Lots of friendly and helpful folks here!

Thanks for welcome!
What do you recommend to get such a shiny/waxy finish like you seem to have on your Eriba in the photo?
Mine is in need of something to discourage the green stuff!

Hello PuckSal and welcome. We purchased our van this year and it was very dull and green around the edges! We did some research and decided to try a yacht chandlery. He recommended Starbrite Fiberglass Color Restorer with PTEF and a lot of elbow grease! Used the scratch proof pads you can get for baths and little by little the van color and part shine came back. When the whole van was done, we had to wash it with yacht wash. The next job was to polish the van with Syarbrite Premium Marine Polish with PTEF. This job was much easier as we used an electric buffer (£15 from Aldi and brill) after applying the cream with a cloth. The end finish was far better than we could of expected. You can see our van in the gallery under Eriba Future. I expect spent 150 hours doing the whole van, but think it has been well worth it. I believe Starbrite can be bought on the net if you haven't got a chandlery near you. Good Luck...
