Fiamma vs sun shade vs event shelter

My thoughts exactly. Once you've got the rail on top as well it's north of 400quid. All for a tarp.

Looks the part tho.

How about one of these, with addition of a bit of beading sewn down one edge, for £20 - 35 - Hiking - Tarp Camping Shelter - Dark Green

I’ll have to get the Mrs on it.

It's a lot of money for a sheet of material - but, it's a great bit of kit. Waterproof, strong, lots of ways to put it up.
Rail costs £30 up, poles don't need to be expensive.

We visited the NEC yesterday, while on the Vango stand, saw the Air Hexaway, a snip at £650. Seemed like a great idea but we didn’t really want to connect to the van each time. When I then googled and found the Hex for half the price... I know what I’m buying!

We saw it at Busfest (Funky Leisure had a pre release version up) - we already have the Hex and a Kela 3 but are very tempted to go for a Hexaway!!

I'm guessing there are not many reviews of the F40 as lots of people going for a roll out awning have pop tops, i.e F40 no use with a pop top. In essence, I don't think there is a lot of difference between the F40 and F45 in terms of spec and case size (I think the F40 is slightly bigger) its just that one has more of a horizontal case than the other.

It will look great painted up to match the van.
