I am pretty impressed with the Khyam Motordome awning. The Rapidex pole system means the awning is up in less than 10 minutes - in fact it took longer to put all the pegs in than it did to get the thing up!
With three square metres of living space and the double bedroom setup left as one big bedroom, the two of us had more than enough space.
The only down-side is that there are no internal poles and hence nothing to 'hang' anything on inside, just one small hooking point for a lantern.
As an extra luxury, we also treated ourselves to a Khyam tent carpet; a thermal-lined and fleecy groundsheet, much better than those old plastic groundsheets!
Hi, I have just looked at your photo's. have you used it in the rain? and if so does it leak? We have a T5 and a movelite drive away awning. This is very good but doesn't fit very snug against the van and therefore when it rains it lets the water in. I'd welcome any honest feedback, thanks
ReplyDeleteWe've not camped in any serious rain yet, just had a week in Cornwall and didn't see a drop!
ReplyDeleteThe sides of the 'tunnel section' that fit to the van are elasticated and have tie-downs along the bottom edge.
We also used a bungee from the bottom edge around to the towing-eye for a really snug fit. It looks like it should be pretty water-tight but will report back after camping in more inclement conditions.
Thanks for reading the blog!
