We use a free standing awning that is made for camper vans which is larger and fits over the back of the Portafold, but it doesn't seal so if it rains the water comes in and runs down the door :roll:

All that's stamped on the awning is NR Awnings,so i will see if i can find out some more info

It's great isn't it? We've had ours for 6 years and we wouldn't be without it now. We use ours 10 to 15 times a year at different shows and even holiday in it, wouldn't even swap it for a modern caravan :lol:

The only problem i could see is it might make it tricky to lift ...
