Bought this nearly a year ago but we only had our first campervan trip last weekend due to COVID restrictions ☹️ The Sheltapod is very well made and extremely versatile. We had to put it up in windy conditions which made it a bit tricky and definitely took two of us as it wanted to fly away. Winds forecast to get up to 40mph and we were a bit worried about it surviving but thanks to the many guy ropes it held up perfectly. We put the awning into a rail we have attached to the van which left a large open space between the van and the pod but with the privacy panels this helped with adding more shelter from the wind and rain. We might try to take the awning over the van next time to bring it closer as some sites are very fussy about space for awnings and that is what is so good about the versatile nature of the pod. You can really tell this was designed by someone who has used awnings before and solved all the problems that they came across. Lastly I love the bright orange colour, so much better than the dull grey of our last one and makes you feel it’s sunny even in the lashing rain 😆 Thank you for such a well thought out product
