My wife wants an awning

My wife wants an awning.... So by proxy... I want an awning. I don't care really what it is.. but I like a bargain

So much choice.

I have a Vango Faro Low, which I am happy with, but we tend to use a Debus sail awning as we only tend to stay on any one site for 2 or 3 nights, so too much faff to keep putting up and packing away.

I've got one of these, pretty impressed with it for the price.
2 adults and a border collie, gives us enough room to sit in, and do some cooking without taking up too much space in the van when packed. Pretty easy to put up as well. Ours coped very well with a particularly breezy site in West Wales last summer.

We initially did similar and bought a cheap(ish) 'manual' awning, but it was a real b*****d to put up and normally resulted in us having a small domestic at the start of every trip which wasn't ideal. So found a 2nd hand-inflatable one and it's significantly less stressful. If you can stretch to an inflatable I would do.

We have a Faros II /Cairns low. for just the two of us it's ideal. Use it when we're staying a few days. If we're only overnighting, we have a Stitches + Steel tarp, but it is very big. They now do a shorter one, or there's Debus etc.

Cant go wrong with a faros for 2 people and you wont get told to take it down because it's too big for the pitch most sites allow for.

I'm selling this, less than 1 week old and never used. Got it out bag at site and got told to put it away

Could use a tarp, a couple of extendable poles add a couple or more guy ropes and pegs.

Vango Faros low, takes about 10 minutes to put it up, just right for 2

Use the van for a few months first, you may decide you don’t need one.

Here's a useful video.

I'm selling this if you're interested @MattShaw27 ?

I have the Vango Kela Air V. Fantastic air beam drive away awning for multi night stays.
The big benefit of using a drive away is that you can store all the crap from your van in it on days out!
For shorter stays (1 Or 2 days.) we just use the Wild Earth canopy.
