Does anybody knows who do light weight awnings ie the tent style polyester fabric for The Eriba troll that's light weight and uses the poles instead of these heavy air awnings

Do an Internet search on I believe Vango Faros 11. https://www.vango.co.uk/faros-ii-low This is the pole version of the Siesta/Elwood, which at about 10kg are actually both very leight and easy for one person to fit.

Hi Phil
We still use our SunnCamp Swift Verao 260 Van Low when we are going away for a few days in our Troll and we don't want to use our heavy Kampa/Dometic PopAir 365.

We have used it for about four seasons and it is still going strong. It has one light bendy pole which fits into the front of the awning. It is easy to erect and gives enough room for the two of us. I think it cost us about £150 when we bought it.

We used it at a wet Kendal site earlier in the year and it was great.

Hi Mike thanks for the reply regarding light weight awnings . That particular awning you've mentioned is £179 now from A&E leisure just a quick question can you get the awning tight upto the van and does the caravan door open freely or does it catch the awning roof ....many thanks Phil.
