Rich, I’ve posted a couple of drive away awning questions recently having absolutely zero experience. I realise you want to view in person but thought any info may help.

Just this week I’ve bought one of these (see below), it’s cheap and cheerful and we did a test run today. If you are after something substantial then it wouldn’t be any good but it’s perfect as a simple, compact drive away.

Another member has a good quality drive away for sale, I will see if I can find the details.

Here’s mine.

If you can get there!!

The road from Upton was still closed yesterday due to the floods, and a huge detour was necessary.

Forgot to mention... Something that didn’t occur to me at the start of my search was the fact that on a panel van, the sliding side door creates a large footprint when open.
What this means is that the sliding door may hit the side wall of the awning tunnel when fully open as many awnings are designed more for coachbuilds which have a traditional door and don’t need a wide tunnel. Hope that makes sense!

I think your Warwick has a cupboard over part of the side door though so it may not be an issue for you as the slider only needs to be part open.
