I think that's the type of awning we are looking at.

Time to walk away from the thread.

For my benefit or yours?

Though I dare say it is not a mutually exclusive benefit

Very similar to ours expect ours covers the next window as well, only downside is unlike to full awnings wind can get between them & the caravan

It's a Kampa Rally - £199 from local caravan shop.

We brought one of these and I must say it was brilliant used it this weekend for the first time, plenty of room for bikes, table, chairs etc. Went up first time out of the box in 20 minutes and easily withstood wind and rain at night.

We are trying hard not to do that which is why we are going for a lightweight caravan with our Dacia Logan .We figure if we enjoy it over the next couple of years then we will look to upgrade both possibly.

Personally I'm looking at it like a big bike rack, a bike shed on wheels and we can save on hotel bills. I like a bit of comfort now as well as a bit of freedom.

This is my favourite post on CC for a while as it gave me a nice warm smile.

Not so long ago I seem to remember FF posting on another thread about how life wasn't treating him well, and when he first posted about the Dacia it was his new car, now it's 'ours.'

There's also a few uses of the word 'we' in here as well, so thanks hills it's nice to see someone looking forward with optimism.

Awwww thanks! We've just got joint car insurance so they are now 'Our cars'!
This whole thread is something of a shocker in reality to both of us, it's almost exactly 4 months since we decided to embark on our 'long walk' and now we're talking Caravans!
Clearly we're both nuts....

Ours is back home, cleaned and ready to go again.

Ours is ready to go for our cycling week in Dorset in early May.
Going up country next week for a cycling week around Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire and Warwickshire.

We were shown some new inflatable ones at the showroom.

Any good ?

That is exactly what ours will be used for.
