Overall…pretty happy with the upgrade.

They say that great minds think alike....and I'm inclined to agree ;-)

I also have a pop-top (#14) on my Puma 110 and removed the AluCab awning and replaced it with a Darche Eclipse 270 which like yours, has the forward arm and also has the guy line attachments points in the centre between the poles so no more water pooling! This was my big bug-bear with the AluCab.

I have the AluCab shower cubicle mounted to the driver's side as well although I don't use it very often as I don't go to the beach much....but it does get used as a changing room from time to time.

Sold the AluCab awning (and walls) as it was still in excellent condition - in fact I'm impressed by how well it's stood up to the test of time and usage.

Love that car colour mate - Bravo.

Superpeg 270 degree awnings are now an option on Jawa poptop caravans such as ours, so that may be worth investigating.
