We have just ordered a "country road awning" from the bongo shop, brilliant model not cheap £410 large but great quality, however, we also have Outdoor Revolution, which suits 2 people(it's smaller than the country road) if you would like a 2nd hand awning give us a PM we are thinking of selling it, no point in having 2 awnings especially when we have a tent with a porch, which we can also attach via a figure of 8 to the bongo.

+1 for the Country Road.... one thing is it has a zip in groundsheet.... and cross bars which give it extra strength making more sturdy

See the video of how to pitch it

again, not cheap, and so far only had a trial in the garden, but very impressed with it. Dead easy to put up after the first try :D

We have this one too, used a few times and fairly held its own in strong winds. Piece of cake to put up too, shame it's so expensive.
