Well, just a thought. It looks pretty good and certainly on a par with Sunncamp Swift and the Vango canopy. It’s the Outwell Touring Shelter. Here is a link:

I think its a bit more money than the other 2, but looks to be a bit bigger and give a bit more shelter. I also though that it would be better suited to a Troll.

I would welcome any thoughts or comments as I am thinking of getting one ready for next spring. Many thanks.

Hi GT
As tenters we always loved Outwell kit. It was a bit dearer but was good quality and had clever design. I would say that it is certainly worth look.

I love the look of the Parkville drive away awning lower down the page, but as usual with Outwell it isn't cheap.

When we first got the Troll I plagued the Outwell stand guy at the NEC for two years running for not having anything to fit the Troll and having no plans to do so. Fortunately I could have a laugh with him as I had watched him on very early Outwell videos iwhen they first came to the English market and sadly knew the one for the Bear Lake tent almost word perfectly.......................................

Be interested to see how you get on if you do buy one.

Blimey Mike, only 2 years! I’ve been a boarder line menace at the NEC ever year since 2007 (sometimes both Feb and October shows 🙄). I can’t believe AL still let me on their stand http://yoursmiles.org/msmile/fun/m0168.gif. Annoyingly I have always been fixated with full awnings and only recently got into sun canopy’s/larger canopies for mini breaks so never really got stuck into “canopies” at the shows. Anyway lock down fever has well and truly kicked in and canopies have become a great hobby. We have a Troll 530 (from AL) so I think I might try the Outwell. I like the fact that its a bit deeper than most of the others and its also wider, which should suit the Troll. Hopefully we will get a few more sunny days before winter sets in and I can set it up and upload some photos for the collective great and good Eribafolk to debate on over the winter months. Thanks for your comments, Robbie.

We remember that meet so well, I dispensed soup door to door as the weather for the shared meal was so bad we all scuttled back to our vans and we couldn't manage half a gallon of soup on our own

Our Khyam remained intact which is more than can be said for the poor unfortunate in the wwb whose awning was flat against his van come the morning

Hi Colin, I think it must be an Eriba owners thing that kicks in on dark evenings. So here goes with my confessional:-

- Camptech Motoair Low - what a brilliant air awning this is. It’s actually perfect for the Eriba.
- Vango Hexaway - We love this awning for longer stays and sociable evening meals with friends
- Isabella Shadow - Very good canopy and looks good, but does collect the rain.
- Outwell Touring Shelter - Very probably so to be added to the collection.

Anyway I have dropped to my knees and confessed. Will now birch myself under the Isabella shadow and hope I can be forgiven.

Thanks Randa.

I have just made a full confession to Colin. The Outwell certainly looks well made and I like the 28mm tubular front arch. I think this is a goer. Pictures to follow.

I feel positively under privileged and under resourced with only one canopy that functions (but three awnings.& several tents)

A tricky conversation with Kath needs to follow about our paucity of canopies and the need to invest before certain Eriba Folk corner the market. She was talking about some new down lighters for the front of the house and a replacement boiler but we have to get our priorities in order........................!
