Hi and welcome to Eribafolk.
Have a look at this gallery to see if there's anything that catches your eye. g25-Eriba-Canopies-Sunshades-Windbreaks-and-Towing-Covers.html
One of the most popular sun shades which will also withstand rain showers, is the Isabella Shadow. That's all we ever use nowardays. We've not used a full awning for a few years as the Isabella keeps the sun of our heads and the rain from our door.

Yes it does. See pics.
We have a Troll and a 3 metre long Shadow but please note that we've added a centre pole, they normally only come with two end poles with adjustable height.
In inclement weather we drop the centre pole causing a "V" shape in the fabric so that the water can run away. The Shadow can be installed single handedly in about 5 minutes.

Thanks for that randa, sods law i have a sunn senic fr porch as new from probably 15 years ago but that was for a Abby caravan that was possibly used just one time i think. I have purchased an eriba 2015 320 which i'm due to pick up this week and from what i can see on line it would be to high. The shadow you suggested is a possibility, The wigo one is quiet nice but very pricey & if you get the various panels it's out of my price bracket

A 320? That's a lovely van. Before you jump in, awning/shade wise, there will probably be more thoughts on your question soon. If you do go for the Isabella Shadow then I think you'll need the 2.4 metre long one. Can anyone confirm that please?

Yes you are correct Roger it's the 2.4m which fits the 320.
When I go on holiday I like to pop my top!

In a perfect world it would have been nice to have some sides for when its blowing rain & somewhere to hang your wet gear but can't as yet see anything else that isn't like an old fashioned frame tent or very expensive like the wigo by the time you get sides & a front. Also i'm not sure if i read somewhere that wigo can hold water by the awing rail?

The Sunncamp Swift might answer your problems. Sunncamp Swift Van Canopy 260 (2)
We use this if it's rainy and the Isabella Shadow if it's sunny. They each only weigh about 4 or 5 kilos so weight not an issue to carry both.

i have at least one bag awing but there's the door clearance problem (i have never tried it on my eriba) plus at the price of an eriba i would get very nervous about the poles that press back on to the side of the caravan and the risk of getting it marked. From some years ago i have some oval very shallow plastic cup type things which are designed to be screwed or possibly bonded on to the side of your caravan for the legs to rest on. Again i don't really fancy drilling holes in my caravan which brings me back to the vision one, i noticed on the link there was talk about the water pooling and didnt notice any of the extra roof bars fitted and of course i don't know where they would fit to!

They do one for lower rail heights that is ideal for the Eriba. It is called the "Sunncamp Swift Van Canopy 260" as advertised here :- https://www.kenmarcamping.co.uk/Sunncamp...-Van-Canopy-260
