best awnings for motorhome
(Preview)
We have a 12 month old Knaus motorhome ( love it ) but the awning that is fitted to it is useless. Very flimsy and weak. Made by Prostor. Finally got caught by a gust of wind that wrapped it over the roof. Completely wrecked it. Any ideas of a better sort to replace it. Dave
