Can anyone recommend a drive-away awning?

Hi... Can anyone recommend a drive-away awning suitable to use with a Bongo? Currently we have a Royal Traveller Annexe which is fine but a pain to put up. Thanks, davidf

Inflatables are all the rage but I still think the khyam motordome takes some beating for speed of erection and ability to handle high winds. Its umbrella like knuckle joints and integral poles make it super quick to put up but make it a little vulnerable when putting it up single handed in windy conditions (sensible to carry a spare or two), and tall people (like me) might notice they have to stoop a bit at times with some models (like mine!). Great bit of kit if not cheap but good 2nd hand ones (like mine) do come up on ebay.

I have a Cubo Breeze,well made and built in ground sheet,easily inflated & roomy. I think Bongo Fury sell them but I bought mine direct from Cubo.
