Were fairly new to caravanning and have booked to go to Bridlington over christmas. In October we stayed at Burrs Park and had a few windy nights.

We have a Vetura porch and a pacific full awning and I was wondering if the full awning is better to use when its windy as that is what seems to be predicted weather wise.

We like to use an awning as I am always an early riser (like 4.00 am) and then sit in the awning until toh wakes up.

Both awnings have the lightweight poles and we have purchased storn straps just in case.

Is a full awning nmore stable in wind with it being held fully along the caravan side?

Is the a general wind speed that should mean an awning is removed?

Any comments/help please.
