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.

Our caravan is plenty big enough for us, although I can see the advantage of a small awning for people with dogs.
Still each to their own.......and it provides good entertainment watching people still fighting with the awning (and each other) while we sit having lunch and a glass of wine.

We have an air awning. Couldn't be simpler to out up. We can arrive on site and be pitched with awning pegged in 45 mins tops.
No falling out while putting it up. I just go as I am told by my partner.
Best thing we ever bought for van. All part of the experience for us.
