Maurice you have two options, a drive away with tunnel designed for a camper, or a model specific caravan awning.
In the later you basically have the Kampa Pop Air Pro 290 designed for the Familia. If you take this route and your van is newer than 2010, ie it is a later taller van, then you must get the second generation model awning introduced from 2019 onwards. If your van is older then you do not need to worry and could buy one of the earlier Kampa awnings of slightly different design.
The awning is a little heavy to get into the track, difficult for one person, but is overall a decent product.. It is only a little quicker than a conventional awning to erect, but far quicker to take down. The Kampa groundsheet for this awning is excellent, the storm straps are to be avoided and do not buy the Kampa weather strip under any circumstance. Buy the trim from http://www.sealsdirect.co.uk/pdf/ETS1395DR.pdf

Hi Maurice, we bought the Vango hex hub air which we use on our new 530. We are really please with it. We can put it up and have it pegged down in under 10 minutes. Really nice space inside when it’s up. Comes with fly screens, curtains, and 2 door options. If you pm me I can send you some pictures.
I agree with Colin. We have the Kampa Pro Air bought from Norwich Camping and they even put one up on our van to show us what it was like. Its a bit heavy for one person to put up but with two it's a dawdle. As Colin said don't buy the gutter strip as by all accounts they are a bit of a job to put on. We didn't buy one and have had the awning up in torrential rain and you get a few drips running down the side of the van which we didn't find a problem.

So far, no problems on the sites we have been. Feels really nice inside the awning, mainly because of the good height. Also we can zip close it off from the tunnel that connects to the Eriba so no issues with having to block off the gap between the ground and the bottom of the caravan.
