Awning on a T5 Trident high top
Hi all
My old T4 autosleeper ( still miss her ) came with a fitted omnistor awning ( great 90’s beige brown stripes) which the legs fell apart when I opened them out :-)
Anyway I reluctantly moved on to a new T5 trident but it had no awning. If you have had an awning you can’t live without them . Just wondered has anyone fitted an awning to a T5 Trident?
What is best Thule or Fiamma . What size ? And how easy can they be fitted... petrified of damaging my high top ?
Any thoughts appreciated my wife is desperate for a new awning I’m worried about damage or spoiling the looks but I know I’m onto a looser

Re: Awning on a T5 Trident high top
If looks are important, you may want to consider an awning that isn't permanently attached to the van. I use a Caravanstore, size 225. It slides along a "c" or "j" section awning rail, unzip the bag and unroll the awning, legs and arms unfold from the front section, and then use a tie - down kit for security. Not quite as strong as a Fiamma, perhaps, the main advantage is how convenient it is to store it indoors when not needed.
