How to choose the PERFECT AWNING

AWNING SPECIAL SHOWROOM AWNINGS

FOR ALL THOSE caravanners out there who like to enjoy a bit of breathing space, or might indulge in the ancient Saxon sport of ‘cat-swinging’, an awning is the essential accessory to make the most of your campsite living space.

These fabric extensions for leisure vehicles can be used to provide extra living room, ‘secure’ storage space, or even somewhere to sleep.

Investing in one of the many styles of awning available is guaranteed to enhance your touring experience, especially if you own a smaller van.

When touring in cooler climes – such as here in the UK – traditional larger awnings, which are fully enclosed, are most popular; but the further south you go on the Continent, the more likely you are to see wind-out box awnings attached to thea roof panel designed to protect you from showers or intense sunshine.
