Everything you need to know about caravan awnings for 2016

When it comes to caravan accessories, you don't need to buy an awning to have an incredible holiday, but it's a small price to pay when you think of the practical benefits you can get from one.

Not only will you double your living area, you'll also add more privacy, extra sleeping areas, and it's an investment in extra space that just makes sense, especially when it comes to storying wet holiday kit and muddy shoes.

If you're not sure what you need when it comes to the frame, materials, or even how much you should be spending, the guide to choosing caravan awnings will give you every bit of insight you need to get it right first time.
