The Khyam tailgate awning looks impressive, particularly good if you cook from the back and/or have a Fiamma on the side.

Quechua base fits nicely to the side of a Fiamma. Or one at each end.

Khyam tourer slightly smaller than classic.

I managed to erect/take down a classic ok.

Any awning has to be ok for me as a solo camper - we'll the dog doesn't help much!

I guess the tailgate awnings are problematic if the pitch size is restrictive.

Are the Quechua Base Seconds going to drop back down in price or forever at the £150 mark now? Also am I right in thinking the Base Seconds doesn't have a ground sheet?

The Quechua's have only ever gone up in price :(. They don't come with groundsheet but it can be bought quite readily & it Velrcos in place.
