Outdoor Revolution Movelite awning. It's about 3-4 years old. You can see the specs here of the equivalent one that Outdoor Revolution sell now, but it's the same size:

This is it when we first got it:
Here's a floor plan of how big it is:
As you can see, it's not massive, but that was why we got it, and it's been big enough for our needs. It's tall enough to stand in (I'm 6'1") and it has a quality feel to it. It's still perfectly useable, we just have upgraded to a larger awning because we have 2 dogs.
It's very stable, being one of those awnings that's a square shape with poles that cross in the middle. It is brilliant in the rain, we have never had any leaks, so ideal for an English summer. We have always made sure that it was dried out properly when we got it home, and cleaned and looked after it.
The only bit that's showing signs of wear is where the pole sleeves are, but then when you've been feeding the poles in and out of those sleeves a few times, this is to be expected. It has no bearing on either the operation of the pole sleeves, or the waterproofness of the awning as a whole, but this is not a brand new awning.
There are the inevitable rips in the awning skirt that attaches to the van - caused, as always, by catching the sliding door on it, but I have repaired these with proper tent repair patches, and so they are fine.
It comes with 3 figure-8 strips for attaching to the van, but the awning skirt also has a sleeve in it for using pole and clamp fixings (but these are not included). It also has the peg-down groundsheet with it, and the internal bedroom attachment if you want to sleep in it.
When new, these retailed at £189, you'll see the current version is being sold by Outdoor Revolution for £199. This can be yours for just £80 - although you'll have to collect, because it's probably going to cost a fortune to post. Or arrange a courier. I live in Birmingham.
Also fits earlybays.
