Recommended awning for Triton

Hello Eriba Folk! Here goes with my first question:

Can anyone recommend a good awning for a Triton 410?

Jez,
awnings are probably the most contentious issue on the forum, followed by hot water or not. In order to narrow it down a few pointers would help.
- Do you need a full awning or something for shade/a bit of protection from the rain.
- Do you want something that will be put up each time for couple of days or a couple of weeks.
- What about size, is it needed for a bit of storage or do you have to occupy children and eat in it.
- Are you in your prime and can manhandle an awning by yourself or do you have to put the thing up by yourself.
- Are you a fan of the lightweight rip-stop fabrics and the drive away campervan style.
- Would you like something curved to match the van or would you be happy with a traditional frame tent type build
- New/used ?
- Any idea on budget?
I'd advise a good search of the forum, looking at the photos posted with a notepad and a good drink at hand.It would be time well spent and money saved.

As ever, good sensible advice from Colin...
