Awning

I am looking to buy an awning for my 150

There are lots of choices on the market.

Can someone tell me the differences between them, what to look out for and what not to buy.

The Kings one seems good value for money but how can they be half the price of an ARB or TJM ?
Are there any noticeable differences ?

I saw a car with a hard box type cover on the awning.
Does anyone know who makes them and are they advantageous ?

Constructive advice most welcome

Thanks
Jamie

I was skeptical of the Kings one too, so bought a Darche. Neighbour has a Kings one. Guess what, they are near 100% identical, except for the Darche badge and the colour of the pole locks. I visited their store in Lilydale - the answer as to how it can be so cheap is volume, their warehouse is massive. If I had my time again, I'd get the 2.5x2.5, 2 of the awning walls and the 3x3 mesh floor - would be an awesome setup for under $200.

I have a Kings awning and haven't had any issues with it.

It does its job, stops the sun and stops the rain.

Thanks for the reply
Do the vertical poles stow away in the outer aluminium extrusion ?

Yep. They sure do.

For the price, you probably cannot go wrong. Ive used my Tigerz (Predecessor to Kings) awning heaps over the last couple of years and it is still going strong.
