Hello again everyone, almost there with our order. Just stuck on whether to fork out for the awning or buy an aftermarket drive away one? We're thinking more of resale value than for ourselves, would you be put off without one or not bothered as an aftermarket drive away type offers more for the money? Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Awnings are very much a subjective opinion. We have both and use the rollout awning for any quick one or two nighters where the driveaway is for longer stays or where we may need storage. We find this ideal but everyone is different.
Some other points to consider:
You mention resale value. Aside from slightly odd thinking of resale when you haven't ordered yet it may add minimal value if you have one but it also adds 'sale-ability' and may attract buyers to your vehicle in comparison to others for sale.
If you have a rollout awning you don't have to use it. If you don't have one, you can't use it!
If you are comparing with driveaway awnings remember that they are two completely different systems and each with their positive and negative points although I can't think of too many negatives on a rollout awning aside from cost
Good luck in your decision whichever way you go
