Well, Frank, we think we could do with one as we have two dogs and could do with the extra space, especially at night. But we have taken note of your comments regarding the weather!
HBlewett - thank you for your comments, too. We were told about a company called Campers and Leisure on the A31 at St Leonards near Ringwood, and they had a good range of awnings up and on display. So we are now the proud owners not only of the Nuevo but also a drive-away awning. Just need to do a test putting-up of (trying to avoid saying erection!!) and then hopefully we will be on our way. The driveway is a great idea - had a couple of cuppas out there whilst showing it to friends. Won't go far - we're lucky to have the New Forest on our doorstep.
Thank you both for your responses.
