Porch/awning for winter camping

We are new owners of an Eriba Troll 540 and looking forward to enjoying some winter camping too.

We'd like to find a small porch/awning to provide a space for taking off boots and coats before entering caravan. Has to by sturdy enough for all-year use. Air frame preferred ( we are big fans of our outdoor revolution t2 drive away awning which works a treat , but not convinced it is the best for for short weekends/winter camping).

Does anyone have any recommendations based on what they know works well? Thanks

I sold a true winter awning last year, see here:- SOLD - Walker Snow and Fun Awning - FOR SALE - £170 ono I would not advise its use as a weekend awning as it took as long to put up as a full size frame awning. A second hand Automotive Leisure or NR porch awning would probably fit your requirements,
I would advise against an air awning for winter use as they are not designed for this. I recall seeing a picture of a Kampa that had collapsed under the weight of snow.

We have an AL porch awning for use in late autumn and early spring weather. It's pretty quick to set up has taken quite a lot of inclement weather, wind and rain. It's just big enough for boots and coats and drying wet dogs! And you can just fit in two chairs for sitting out on better days. Ours is quite an old one though and I don't know if the newer ones are the same or better.
