I have a VW T5 Autosleepers Trident and would like to add an awning of some description.
I like the idea of a Fiamma T45i wind-out job but think these would be very pricey by the time they have been fitted?
Any recommendations or opinions would be appreciated.
The T5 does not have a gutter so think my options are limited.

Hi,
If you give Darren, John or Jan a call, they will be able to advise you of the costs and options involved.
Hi, I have a T5 and have just recently bought an awning which attaches to the side of the Van by means of a figure of eight fixture which just basically clips into the roof chanels...very effective....you can also throw a couple of straps across the top of the Van if you want to...this obviously greatly increases your living space.....
Thanks for your replies, I eventually went for a very cheap drive-away type awning - see below.......
I had to drop the Fiamma idea on cost grounds since I was told the awning was about £280, fittings (from Autosleepers) about £75 but the real blow was that labour would be about 5-6 hours (not done free at shows for my type of van).
I have a Fiamma type awning on my VW which is great. What I would really like to complement this is an awning that fits onto the rear lift-up door, for on route etc. Is there such an awning, have you got one.
Could I resurrect this post please to ask if anyone knows of a very simple and quick to put up porch/side screen type of arrangement for my VW Topaz side door.
I don't want anything permanent and it doesn't need to have a ground sheet - just something that will fit around and over the door to give a bit of shade and privacy but would be open at the front. This would be used for days out when parked up and enjoying the view and having a break....not intended for long term use on sites etc.
Any thoughts?
Cheers, Maura.

Thanks Buttons - much appreciated. I really like the look of the Vanshower Heckzelt Worker even though it fits over the rear door and not the side door it is exactly the sort of size I am looking for when it is in the 1st stage....but nice to know it could be opened out if needed.
I particularly like the fact it fits to existing door.
Many thanks
Maura.
