Awnings


With a Dub, you are always going to have one problem - space! The easiest way to get over this, would be an awning but which one, there are so many to chose from.

In the end, I decided to go for a Movelite Square, a great little unit with a flap thats pops over the roof and pins to the floor. This was great until one trip, it was very windy and the flap over the roof was banging all night. What could I do to stop this.... The answer was a Reimo rail, which will then allow the 6mm piping on the movelite square to slide into the rail.

Thats great it all works fine but what happens if you want to unhook and pop out without the awning and drive off leaving the awning at the campsite. This configuration will be a real pain! What you need to a driveaway connection kit. This will allow you to just pull out the twin 6mm strip and then drive off and it works.

After a year of this awning, I was having a number of small problems - not major ones - so I started to have another look around and found a Pro version on the Movelite Square. This new 2011 model has fly nets and a porch and much better zips. This one was the one to go for.
