weekend setup????

[sharky71]

i have looked at all your drive-away awnings and some look great but what setup do you peeps have for just a couple of nights/long weekend.
i find the awning tooooooo much of a faff for short stops so i have a sun canopy but i find with me,the boss,two boys and Dave there is not enough room especially factoring in the cooking and where to sit to eat,reckon the westy interior's a little cramped for all the above especially if the weather's................ CRAP!
so what do you guys do.

sorry if it is in the wrong section,please move if so.

regards.

sharky.

I used a gazebo with a 1second tent for bags ect, did 2weeks in Cornwall like this with 3 kids

I now have a Khyam Screenhouse which gives a bit more protection and we can sleep in it should we have a ill child :roll:

i use a pop up annexe ...exactly the same as a quick erect tent only it`ll sleep four with ease. we use it for myself and the lad to sleep in and do all the cooking in or near it too......i have a shed full of awnings of all sizes but always seem to use this as its so quick :mrgreen:

If I'm flying solo then this is all I need.

However, if the family tag along then the awning has to be used.

Same issue for me - putting a tent up for a weekend seems to defeat the purpose of having the van, but I need the psychological comfort of being able to sit under something!

Sparky, what sort of awning is that? Exactly what I'm looking for

Can't beat the Kyham motordome series of awnings. No sodding around spending ages with poles etc. Put them up like an umbrella, peg out, sorted. Not cheap but worth the money, personal opinion of course.

I've been on the lookout for a sun canopy for ages but everywhere is sold out of reasonably priced ones and have been all year!!
I like the look of your one Sparkwig 8)

Weekend before last, been away more times this year than the whole of last year already. :mrgreen:

We used to have one of these off eBay...

But we changed it as it used to hold the water if it rained so we bought one from JK with a domed canopy, loads better plus it's the whole length of the van, haven't got a pic of it attached to the van sorry but it's one of these...

Loving this set up......exactly what i want for wk-end breaks and V-dub shows!

 

[Bundy]

Oztent for us now....absolutely love it. Simple and stores all the shite!

 

[trebormint]

How about these for a real retro look?

 

[Slammed]

Just a hammock and a blanket.

[Toad]

If its just me or the two of us.....just the bus...its self contained...pull up - job done

The best awning on the planet the end , in my view anyway , can even put the bus in it .
