Question: Suncamp 390 Ultima

Hi, I'm thinking of getting a lightweight awning for touring this summer. I presently have a Dorema full size awning which fits perfectly on my Bailey Senator Arizona, but it's quite heavy and takes quite a bit of work to put up. I'm after something light, that can be packed away wet, and doesn't cost a fortune.

The Suncamp 390 seems to fit the bill. Has anyone got one, used one, and most importantly would you recommend one. Or would you recommend anything else.

Regards

Ray

Hi Ray;

The Sunncamp Ultima 390 should fit your bill, however I wouldn't think any awning would last long if packed away wet - least of all a lightweight awning.

If you do need to pack your awning wet always unpack it, dry it and give it a good airing before storing it away. Mould and mildew will grow very quickly on the coated polyester surfaces of this type of awning which will lead to poor performance. At least with a lightweight awning you can drape it over a washing line for a few hours on a nice day!

You might also consider the Kampa Rally 390 which is a slightly more upright awning with steel front legs and adjustable height poles to give a better pitch on 'awkward' ground, or the slightly heavier Kampa Rally Pro 390 which offers the same benefits of the normal Rally but with a 300D 'hybrid' flysheet.

One other worth a look is the all new Sunncamp Crown 390 which is a striking new bay fronted awning from the Sunncamp stable, certainly worth investigation.

I hope this helps a little - good luck,
