If when using your caravan on short trips like a weekend away, you find that you could use an extra bit of room or need somewhere to store muddy wellingtons and wet coats then a caravan porch awning is a great solution.
An awning is a tent like room that is attached to your caravan to provide extra room and space whilst holidaying in your caravan. They are normally very large and quite heavy and can be difficult to erect. This is obviously no problem if you are enjoying a long vacation but on shorter trips such as a weekend away, it can be quite an effort to erect and dismantle. For these shorter trips a caravan porch awning can be utilized for anyone who needs additional outdoor storage areas.
Why Choose a Porch Awning Over a Full Size Model?
Easy To Erect
The most important aspect between the two types of awning is the ease in which a porch awning can be erected. When putting up a larger awning then you have to take into account the elements like wind and rain making the job more difficult. With a caravan porch awning these items are removed to a degree due to the small amount of time needed for erection.
Lightweight Design
With a shorter vacation such as a weekend away in your caravan, the cumbersome and heavy main awning may prove to be more of a burden than being useful. The caravan porch awnings are not only lightweight but they also pack up very tightly and are easily stowed on your outward and inbound journey.
Cost
The economics also work out better for using a caravan porch awning as they are significantly cheaper than a standard awning. If you find you are only away for short spells or if there are only ever two of you on your trips then you may find that you have no need for a normal caravan awning so you may as well save a little of your hard earned cash.
When buying your caravan awning, don't forget to consult your caravan handbook or indeed an authorized dealer for the measurements of your caravan as not all awnings will fit all caravans.
