Good Morning Fellow funsters.
Having recently moved from a coachbuilt 5.7m overcab motorhome to a VW camper for personal usage reasons I have a dilemma and would welcome opinions on my thoughts, good or bad or indifferent.
I have a thick skin.
Our Quest 4 Pro screenhouse was very useful when we had the motorhome and I am sure would be equally as much use with our newer van.....BUT......
It is very long and will not fit in the VW other than being wedged at a angle behind the sliding door, making access and being secure whilst travelling somewhat difficult and possibly unsafe.
I am therefore thinking of going for a drive away awning of the inflatable type ,( we can easily drive away from the quest as it's not attached unless I use the quest vehicle connector panel, which is a bit fiddly) , but an inflatable, whilst perhaps heavier, would be an all-in-one connection to the awning rail on the van and could be used with a Cador strip.
The quest screenhouse would therefore be sold, but the inflatable awning I believe would be more than easily stored for travelling in a safer and useful way as it would be smaller and possibly square/ rectangular.
Any thoughts or comments would be welcome as I have read that inflatable awnings can cope better in windy conditions as they can flex, as opposed to our quest, which is more rigid as it is flexi-poled.
Look forward to your comments, and if any, recommendations on drive away inflatable awnings for a VW T5 campervan ( Transporter).
Thanks.
