I have always had Dometic awnings - they were reasonably priced and OK quality - since 2016 - we've replaced awnings and componentry 5 times - once originally because I damaged it thence forth 4 times due to delaminations (twice) and faulty metalwork/roller (twice).
Haven\t had a chance to test latest iteration (due to COVID19), but I'm not optimistic. I just wonder what goes when the warranty runs out.
The Fiamma units we've seen appear to be OK and the owners say no complaints - that is where I would go in the future.

Welcome to the gang Giz, enjoy here and out in the playground.
I too have a Dometic fitted to my aluminium teepee and love it. That with shade screens around gives me privacy and another living area as I love being outside under it in all weather.
I have had my aluminium teepee now for 7 years this month and only just replaced the vinyl lid about 5 months ago and that was really only due to my fault of washing with wrong stuff. I only replaced the roller and vinyl lid. I have a feeling the new one won't last as long though as quality, although still Dometic, is not as good. Time will tell.
Next time I will check out 'Van Tastic Caravan & RV Awning Screens'. Just Google them for contact details as I don't actually have them. Their product sounds and looks great quality.
Keep Safe on the roads and out there.

It appears that I'm way off track here but I thought that you were looking for an awning for your car. We have an XTM awning on our car and we never used it during our trip in the 2 1/2 months in hot qld. We either sat under a tree, a picnic table covering or the caravan's awning.
