The shop, above the caravan showroom, is in two sections, giving almost as much space to awnings as to the comprehensive range of accessories.
The Isabella and Ventura awning ranges are prominent, with two porches and two full awnings from each on display.Isabella's Magnum 260 Coal porch (£1099) is provong a good seller, complete with its annexe (£499). Dorema awnings are here, too, plus the lightweight Kampa range.
Unusual accessories include the new tube-shaped Isabella Click Light, which clips onto an awning pole. The LED light can be dimmed or brightened at the flick of a switch. It’s £44.49.
Another awning light, the Lumi (£14.98), charges from a USB port. It has six LEDs within a circular shade and can be suspended around an awning pole.
Also new was a BioLite, a device that enables you to charge phones by burning twigs! Also on the green theme were folding solar panels in three sizes: 90W, 60W and 40W.
The Cadac barbecue range included the Carry Chef 2; half of the circular cooking area is ridged, for cooking meat, the other half is flat, for mushrooms, tomatoes and eggs. Paella pans and even a roasting pan (ideal for chicken) were also in the Cadac display.
Durable three-layer glass laminate Corelle tableware is rising in popularity as an alternative to melamine. It can be used in a microwave or gas oven. Sold in sets or singly prices are a reasonable £7.99 for a pasta bowl and £5.98 for a deep plate.
