Bought one for our Vivaro campervan. Used it last Thursday and it stood up to storm Ellen. It does have a few design flaws. The ground sheet should have peg loops in the same place as the "Fresh" version of this shelter. Also the large opening doesn't velcro when the lines are tensioned, but for £80 it's good. A sheltapod is more expensive and better quality.
I used it in strong wind this week. It could do with zips rather than velcro on the opening side, and pegs in the middle of each side like at the door, but it stood up well when I doubled the guy lines on the windward side
It was the same storm then mate. You are correct, a zip down either side of the main opening would be great. I'm going to put velcro strip down either side and put loops on the ground sheet at the centres. It stood up to the torrential rain no problem.
Hey dude. Great review. Just bought a Maxi Caddy and I'm looking at awnings. Would this one fit over the tail gate as well as the side if you wanted to? I see you have some helpers there with you lol, but do you think you would be able to put the awning up by yourself if you had to, I'll be mostly on my own you see? Cheers dude.
@@liamwhitehead8965 I was wondering the exact same thing as Doticaster since I own a VW Caddy myself. would it be too much trouble to ask you the height between the floor and the entrance's top arch? By entrance I refer to the side of the awning that you've "attached" to your van's sliding door. Thank you in advance!

this tent is not budget anymore in my country. It is the best choice for M40 salary base.

I put it up myself and it's pretty easy. I did see a video of a guy who used it on the back door of a Berlingo which is a similar size to a Caddy

Works great as an awning but an absolute pig to put up by yourself, especially in a breeze
