HI - My Caravan canopy has bit the dust and I need a new canopy for two shows I will do soon. Do any of you use the EX Up Express 11 canopy? We already have the sidewalls for the Caravan, which should fit the EZ Up. If you have the above canopy, do you like it, and any advice about it? Thanks - Laura

I have the EZup Encore and got it from the place below. $250, comes with the new improved zippy walls (waaay better than the velcro), case, and awning. It has been perfect and wonderful through all kinds of wind and weather... I also hang lots of clothing from the frame with no problems at all. The canopy fabric is heavier than my previous tent too. I'm not sure what kind of ezup I had the first time... but I think you are pretty safe with any kind of EZup. My old one retired due to the canopy ripping (after 7 yrs of use) but I use the frame for indoor shows and it still works great. www.hutshop.com/ezupcanopies.html

Now you have me thinking about getting one. Right now I have a couple COSTCO Caravans. Matter of fact, if you Google 'COSTCO caravan' you will see my story about my problems with them show up around #5-6' Thanks, Dave.

Thanks for the recommendation about the EZ Up! I especially liked reading this, since I ordered one yesterday. I drove all over the Bay Area and couldn't find any white canopies, other than a really chintzy one that Sports Authority was selling. After many phone calls to places I went directly to EZ Up and spoke to someone there and ordered the canopy. I hope it will be here by my next show, which is Sept. 26th. The EZ Up rep. couldn't promise it will arrive in time, but since it's coming from SoCal, I think it will.
My prior canopy was a Caravan from Costo, had it for maybe 8 years before it finally bit the dust a few days ago. Laura

Here is my new EZUp tent report. We tried it on the sidewalk on Sat., it went up differently from our old Caravan, but worked fine. Then yesterday we used it for the fair, and it was very easy to put up and take down. If the roller bag it came with was another inch or two larger, it would have been even easier to get the tent inside. It's heavier than our older tent, but I think it will be a winner. We will use it again this upcoming weekend in Danville. Laura
