We've got an Outdoor Revolution Movelite Square, it fits our Dimension or a smaller Romahome i.e. C15, Outlook, Duo etc. Its very lightweight and easy to put up also comes with an inner bedroom.
See our ACCESSORIES STORE for some ideas on awnings.

romahome awning
I also have a Movelite square drive away awning but it does take at least two people to put it up and with my Outlook I find there is a dip in the piece that attaches to the camper which tends to collect water if it rains and then leaks! I have just managed to find some extra storm straps as only two are provided but it really needs four. If anyone is interested they were at Highbridge motorhome centre near Burnham on sea.
As I camp alone quite often I also have a Outdoor revolution Outhouse which is particularly useful for extra storage and outside space as I do miss sitting outside even if it is raining or a bit breezy!
I think I am still at heart a tent camper but the convenience of my little Roma outweighs any hankerings for the smell of canvas and the sound of rain on the.tent roof.

Pic below... not very clear unfortunately, but the only one I have - hope you can see how the guide ropes go... and it's trapped in the skylight!
Forgot to add - it might be different on a C15 Roma, mine was a demountable.Last edited by jayjay; 13-03-2010, 09:39.

Roger.. you have to untie everything to drive away... pretty easy actually, just untie the bottom strap from the legs, pull up the guy ropes, take the top bit out of the skylight and away you go... I used BIG STRONG PEGS (like clothes pegs only bigger and stronger) to peg the flapping hoody down until I returned to camp. You just have to remember to undo it from the camper every place you tied it on!Another story trying to reverse back to it in the right place, LOL... eventually tried Glen's trick of putting a rope on the grass on the driver's side, opening the door and reversing wheels back next to the rope, worked a treat!!

I will be taking this awning to the Wolverley Meet not sure what it will work like as I have not had it out of the bag yet! It may be perfect for a Romahome with a rear door.

I will be taking it to The Cotton Arms Wrenbury Cheshire next weekend for its first outing I will post up some pics from this.
I managed to buy the Reimo Tuffi second hand (used once) from a fellow Bongoer who already had 5 other awningsso one had to go.I sold my Royal Traveller 3 annexe side awning when I bought a Fiamma rollout for the side so got the Reimo just in case I needed a proper awning going over the rear seemed a good idea!!
Report back next weekend!!

Originally posted by Graham View PostJayJay, I'm with Roger on this one, I think what he means is how did you drive away from your drive away awning in that picture? There is a huge bank of grass in front of the van, it would have taken a bit of manoeuvering.Oh I see what you mean - a fifty point turn was required! No seriously, this is the campsite at Ullapool where we stayed overnight whilst waiting for the ferry.. we didn't need the van, it's only a few strides to the nearest pub, so I didn't bother turning it around and parking that-a-way before putting on the awning! Although I would only have needed to park it that way just another foot back as it turned on a sixpence!
Note to Smokie - don't forget to leave enough room to drive away in front of you!!

As promised a few piccies of my rear awning Reimo Tuffi first time out of its bag!
I will be taking it to Wolverley so is anyone wants to measure it up they will be more than welcome.Being specifically designed for rear doors it may suit quite a few vans on here!
It isnt a heavyweight awning and has a tendancy to gather a bit of water on top I got round this by stretching a few bungees across the metal frame which helped quite a bit.
On a personal note Im very pleased with it as the colour scheme is in keeping with my Bongo it even has "Red Vees" on it that match my new seats!!
