So we will need a drive away awning pretty soon to use up north in the winter, but for the life of me haven't got a clue how which one would fit our 2005 Hymer tramp :unsure: any help much appreciated (y)
 
The main issue is your rail height. If you try to fit one which is too short the roof of the tunnel will drop down too steeply and your hab door might not open.(unless it is a slider)

For winter use you need to consider snow load. There are dedicated winter awnings but they tend to be fixed not drive away. Do you really need a drive away? We have just bought a fixed caravan/motorhome awning and we don’t move once pitched up.
Then, poled or air?

Have a look at these




All very helpful and will advise.

Thanks just been looking (y). Don't really want to spend too much anyway as it will only be used when working on site for wet gear etc.

Oh and btw,don’t buy one that is too expensive,then it will be easier to sell when you realise you don’t use it :LOL: :LOL:(y)
We usually travel Europe but plans have been scuppered this past year so taken on a temp job for funds to travel again next year, so probably wouldn't use again 🤞
