    It looks very similar to the Pyramid awning I have - low cost but functional. They sell them in Charles Camping and I think they usually have some awnings setup in a shed up the back. Ask if you can see one erected and see what it looks like.

    Check in particular whether the fabric is loose or taught as this is usually a good indicator of how stable it will be in bad weather. Also check on how the pads are attached, on mine they are attached to a second beading on the awning itself rather than the wall of the caravan and this is a good solution. The more poles it has the better - it will take longer to put up but it will be a lot steadier.

    Check how the pegs are attached, plastic "ladders" are a lot stronger than elastics.
