Best awning for mushroom roof?

Post by billybadger » Fri Jun 15, 2012 11:22 am

Can anyone recommend a particular type? We're looking at the Traveller Annexe 1 or 3 at the moment. Are there any others that anyone would recommend? Would like to investigate all of the options? It needs to be attached to a Bongo with a Mushroom roof. Thanks!

Does the mushroom roof version still retain the drainage channel?

Yes ...

The rubber lip of the roof seal is about 1.25" (32mm) away from the rain gutter ..

So will it take a figure of 8 channel? If so, then any Royal Traveller/Outdoor Revolution or Oase drive away awning will fit.

Cheers chaps. Will probably get either a traveller annexe 1 or 3 then. Off camping for a week next week, and figured that in this weather an awning is a must!
