Sunncamp Swift 325 Deluxe Caravan Awning

Very easy awning to put up, just had 3 days of rain in lake District, no leaks, nice and bright, good size, we did however buy the roof pole and back 2 poles for extra stability, think they are a must, bought storm straps as well, didn't need them as the ropes that come attached were sufficient, we will be purchasing the 2 poles at some point, for the canopy ,that's at the front of awning, dries quite quick, light to carry , we have spent much more in the past for awnings, but this awning is as good.

Easy erecting spacious good for quick getaway

Brought this for my camper, so doesn't fit as snug as it would on a caravan (not the sellers fault) Does fit adequately enough though (Fiat Ducato) Like: Very spacious awning plenty room for 3 people with chairs and table. (We actually had 3 adults, 1 teenager & 3 dogs in there, but that was a bit snug) You can buy the optional bedroom pod, which I did, however this does take some living space away) We had a day of full on rain & wind and this awning was great. Had a slight bit of wet on the side of the bedroom pod due to this blowing a bit and touching the sides, but around the same as condensation in a tent. It's fairly easy to put up, will know what we are doing next time, so I am sure it will be quicker with less swearing 😂. Packing away was very easy and the bag is oversized, so goes away with no problems. Dislikes: extras such as poles for the sides, to make it more secure and 4 x storm straps do not come with and I have searched for these and cannot find where to purchase, however, managed perfectly fine without.

Considering the breezy conditions the awning was first used in, it coped better than many heavier awnings we have had in the past. We took it down once really strong winds were predicted, although one person on the site kept theirs up all through. The downside is the sizing, before purchase measuring our van as instructed the 325 would fot perfectly without fouling any windows, however, once put up is came in about 10/20 cms short, both in fitting to the van, and covering the carpet. We spoke to a couple of different sellers and they did state that the rail length can vary and cause this, and that we may need to "angle the sides outward slightly. this is not how the awning seems to be displayed, as its sides seem to be vertical. With the awning fouling the window we were unable to use the rear storm pole for security as it would cause or risk causing damage to the plastic window. Further research when we got home showed the "footprint" of the awning as on the sunncamp diagram as 325x250. it does not achieve that at all, It may improve with stretching with use, but I do not see it fitting correctly. I did not order a 390 awning as it would have fouled the rear side position lamp on the van, but in retrospect had I known how small the awnings seem to come up, the 390 may well have been the better choice. Sadly as I had to use it to discover this issue I understand I have to keep it, and possibly sell it on should we decide on a larger awning for next year. As I said It performs really well considering its light weight, it is easy to put up, and everything about it is great, just the rather erratic sizing is a concern.

Brilliant for a weekend away. Very easy to use. Big enough for a table, 2 chairs and the dog crate with still enough room to move around. Pleased with this awning.

Had the smaller version and decided to upsize, have to say, very good quality, decent price and a good size, definitely recommended

We bought this awning because it was more lightweight than one we already have, and wanted one that was easier to get up and down and away if it was wet, or we were only away for a night or two. It would certainly fit that bill, and is a good size for two adults and a dog. The most disappointing thing about it is that the first and only time we put it up the canopy poles that are threaded over the front opening were broken. The elastic threads that run through the length of the flexible pole came away from the fibre pole and we really struggled to fix it so the awning could be used. As a result of this I feel that the awning is not going to last long, especially if it’s windy, and we need to get a replacement pole already. We did manage to use the awning once we had cobbled a temporary mend together , because we needed the outside space , but I don’t think this is really good enough given the price. Perhaps we had a dud one , but it was not a good start when we were away from home and trying it out for the first time.

Easy to put up, lightweight porch awning. Needs a few more mud skirt pegging points and I wouldn't bother with the extra roof support. Had some heavy rain and strongish winds. Seems fairly weather proof.
