My awning is a new Tuscany awning by Pyramid awnings and I’m pleased to report it made it back with us. Pyramid awnings seem to have a great range of awnings which really appeal to the keen caravan goer like me. Whilst away I was speaking to people who also had Pyramid awnings and in particular the Tuscany range, we all got the impression that the Pyramid Tuscany range really takes into account the important factors that campers face on trips away.  One element that we all thought was excellent was the quick lock system attached to every pole, it made it so easy in erecting the awning and virtually gave you a free hand instead of complaining that I didn’t have enough. They also have a great pegging down system both inside and out using rubber ladders and awning pegs, along with a brilliant tie down kit with sewn in buckles for a secure guying down. With all these pegging systems it did take a while to get the awning completely secure but once it was done it wasn’t going anywhere. The wind got up for a couple of hours on the Wednesday and didn’t even shake the awning; it was whistling around the campsite but didn’t make any problems. It’s worth putting the extra effort in guying the awning down tight, as the all the buckles, pegs etc work brilliantly in keeping the awnings shape and structure and even after the fortnight it still held its shape like it was day one despite the insisting breeze.

Overall the Pyramid Tuscany Awnings is an awning which delivers on functionality and I was surprised to see so many people sporting the same awning. The special features are not simply gimmicks and quirky ideas, but sensible and practical systems which Pyramid have introduced to great affect. Erecting awnings can be a pain at the best of time, but the Tuscany has little features that make it that little bit easier.
Easier the better in my book!

Pros - My Mega Porch is a brilliant size for an awning, it is larger enough to be used like any other awning, but without the painstaking need to erect a full awning. I also realised that the porch awning allows me to annexe on either side as the walls are removable with zip down panels as well as a sewn in tie down kit, which means I’m not hunting down guy ropes and pegs at the beginning of a holiday.

Cons – My only real criticism of the Mega Porch is the fact that I’m over 6ft and sometimes I felt a little claustrophobic with the ceiling height. Although I never touched the ceiling I was certainly aware of its proximity. I’m sure it isn’t a problem for the majority of people and eventually I got used to it.
