Hello everyone. I am new to caravanning and want to buy a full awning for my swift spirit 2016. I am told that the A measurement dictates that I need a size 15, but am needy of advice when it comes to steel frame, aluminium etc and which type and make of awning will suit for both warm climates and here at home! Got to watch the pennies and have a budget of about £800. Thanks in advance.

We have 6.5m 2 berth van and use our awning on most outings it's a large porch awning with ally poles,I can get up and complete within 30min and the same to take it down and packed away, our last awning was an Isabella with fibre poles and was even easier and quicker to put up, would give any metal pole awning a miss due to the weight, you can buy good second hand ones on eBay or other classified adds, as for air awnings not tried one yet but did see 2 disappear from their vans at beachy head last year while my Bratdcot stayed in one piece ( just ) do your research your better off buying a good quality used rather than a cheap new.
