R25 - Awning

[wheelyhome]

Bought our first ever motor home in April 2011 and we are currently looking for an awning that will fit around the rear of the van. Being new to 'motor homing' we thought it would be a good idea to obtain what information we could from the van community.

Any suggestions and/or items it would be better to aviod?

I recently bought a C15 and eventually, after much advice, I bought a Movelit Square. It fits nicely around the rear of my vehicle although I'm still testing different methods of attaching it.

I used to trap the 'hoodie' bit of my movelite in the back skylight before I erected it. Then put the two cross way poles in to make it square, pull out so that the hoody was taut, put the poles into the corner pin holders, make sure that the square was 'square' (you line it up with the ground tapes) and then peg down.

After that you can release the hoodie from the skylight (I often didn't bother!) and use the guy ropes to pin the hoody down at the sides of the van, by the back wheels.
