Dorema Awnings
Dorema are yet another well known motorhome and caravan awning manufacturer. They have pretty extensive ranges and a wide choice to choose from. The flagship dorema awning annex is the Highlander, which comes in two sizes, named the Highlander 1 and 2. The 1 is designed to fit motorhomes up to 250cms in height, and the 2 will fit up to 275cms. You can also buy an extension kit for the 2 that will increase it’s height to 320cms.
The Dorema Highlander is a free standing awning which has proved to be very popular in recent years. The newest version now comes with the Dorema 280 acrylic fabric. This upgrade gives it excellent quality and durability, one of the best on the market. The roof is made from polyester and it has a front panel that can be rolled down or zipped. There are side panels with doors on each panel. You also have windows at the front and sides. The rear panel can be rolled up to allow access to your motorhome.
The frame is made from galvanised steel, so it is built to last. The overall weight is around 24kgs for the Highlander 1, and 26kgs for the 2. Other useful features are that the awning legs are fully adjustable, and all the zips are covered to give a bit more protection from the elements, and also to protect the zips. The price for the Highlander 1 is around £400 and the 2 is about £450, but with the fabric upgrade these two dorema awnings should be worth the investment.
The Dorema Starcamp Traveller is next up, and Starcamp is the sister company of Dorema. The Traveller is also free standing and will fit motohomes up to 240cms in height. It is made from rip stop polyester and has various side panels with windows and doors. There is mesh ventilation to allow the air to circulate better. It has a tunnel to connect to the motorhome, and there is a large rear panel that can be zipped or rolled up for convenience. The poles and frame are made from fibre and steel, and it comes with an inner tent that can sleep two people. At only 18kgs it is lightweight, and the prices start at around £200.
The Dorema Starcamp Challenger is lower in price but still offers real value and quality. There are two sizes that will fit motorhomes either 250 or 275cms in height. It has acrylic walls and galvanized steel poles so it is similar to the Highlanders, but cheaper in price. The two side panels have windos and doors and it has a big rear panel for easy access. The price is about £315 for the smaller model, and around £350 for the larger one.
You can also buy Dorema porch awnings and tall annexes. The range is very large and comprehensive. Their reputation is second to none, and many people keep on choosing Dorema time after time. The after sales support is also very good, which is a big plus point.
