Hi Phil

Colins right ...........I'm as predictable as ever..............here's my ten pennyworth.

We have one of the AL porch awnings that Colin mentions above that we bought with our Troll in 2016. This is an old fashioned porch awning with very heavy metal poles. We found it quite difficult to erect properly and on our first attempt it ended up being thrown back in the boot of the car. I worked out later that I had been trying to put it up with the frame back to front..........!

We did get it up properly on our next trip which was to a wet and windy Edinburgh. It held up really well to the elements but it seemed to have lots of pegs and was a bit like putting up an old frame tent. It seems to take us a age. We haven't used it since.

We then went for a Kampa PopAir awning. This is a big awning and there are lots of feeds on the Forum that you can check out about it. We also bought an Isabella Shadow sun canopy which we absolutely love but is only a canopy. Again there are various feeds about this to.

We decided that for shorter visits that we needed a smaller lighter awning. Colin pointed us in the direct of his Sunncamp Canopy awning but as we were looking they came out with a new version of an awning marketed at Campervan owners based on Colin's that fitted Eribas - the Vareo. We think this is great for our needs. It has a lightweight fibre pole frame which goes up really easily and has so far stood up to some fairly strong winds. Roger (Randa) also got one and we have both played a bit with it to make the fit against the van better. Again if you look on the Forum Roger and I have both posted some pictures.

My final word would be don't rush into anything have a good luck at what is available as new models seem to be coming out all the time and you need to get what meets your needs Good luck

I bought a Vareo (low one, not high) last year.
I've (separately) bought some storm straps but havent needed to use them (yet)
I did find the roof can pool with water if it rains heavy so I may fit an airbeam to the roof this year
I also found that condensation occurs inside but I expect thats the case with any awning: sorted it out with a dry cloth
It's light, easy to put up, pack/unpack and fits the side profile of a 530 no probs (there's a useful video on youtube showing one being erected)
With a floor covering, skirt and wheel arch cover it was easy to keep warm with an electric heater.

will try leaving it unzipped a bit when out next: thx
