Awnings.. the good, the bad and the downright 'ugly'

[FredFlintstone]

So, would just like to ask the good folk of 'Cali land' what they'd recommend for a short stay (circa 2 - 3 nights) and a long stay (circa 8 nights).

For use in the UK and for use in France / Spain?
Something that will last. Something that can withstand storms, etc, etc?

Thanks in advance (appreciate this is one of 'those' topics.. but very interested in your thoughts.

Thanks

Don’t discount the Khyam range. Quick and easy poles

Vango Versos looks a good bit of kit as well!

We currently have a Vango Galli compact for longer stays, plus the options of adding sides to the wind awning to create an extended porch. Obviously the full size Galli is an option if you need a bigger one.
The only issue with the Galli is that it has an open porch which can act as a wind scoop if it ends up facing into the wind. I think they offer a newer version with a covered porch.
