Hi All - I have a couple of questions on awnings (as a newbie, please do forgive my ignorance!).
- How resilient is the fitted wind out to adverse weather (wind and rain - typical UK summer weather)? I have bought some hold down straps (!) from the club shop on the advice of Will and Sarah, but a friend told me there can be issues with the wind out awning pooling rain and sagging.
-If there is pretty good resilience, and for shorter trips, I am contemplating some side walls for convenience - are they easy to remove and store for a day off site to give a bit of flexibility? And would they be suitable for a week's trip? We don't want to pack up every time we go out, so I was also thinking of a simple pop up storage tent - thoughts very welcome
- Finally - if we decide to go down the 'something more substantial' route - drive away versus independent tent?
Thanks all
Roger
