Last but not least, where did you purchase at such a good price?
a couple of dealers have said they won't last to long when being used long term in the more sunny climes,
frankly.. I think that is nonsense.. the air poles are encased in 300 denier material and not exposed to the sun.. but even if they did you can buy replacements..
in saying that, there is no awning made that is designed for long term exposure to strong sunlight.. they all degrade.. eventually
for us, the big plus is no poles to mess about with and store .. it's up in a few minutes.. best of all .. no divorce proceedings afterwards
And that is the point I was just going to make. Has anyone compared them to the Dorema Magnum All Season. The manufacturers claim they are suitable for long term exposure to the elements?

No Jim, the one I'm referring to is the Magnum Air' It does seem to get good reviews.Dorema.. great awning.. and yes, will no doubt have a longer life in the sun.. and but the steel poles and the material make it a heavy awning... and a palaver to put up.. that's the reasons for choosing the Kampa
It will mostly be used in the UK .. week ends and short trips.. so UV degradation not a concern..
If buying to site in Spain for the winter the Dorema would be favourite

I think this is to high for me also.. my Air Pro 260 XL is back for sale due to extreme time wasting dingbatedness on ebay..

That's where mine came from...I am sold on this and am going to order. I have found it for £449 at camping international in Gillingham with free delivery just incase anyone else was tempted. Thanks for all the info .

my electric step is bang centre so not sure i can use the skirt
Our only gripe is that we have an Auto Trail Dakota with a Thule/Omnister wind out awning and when it rains water leaks into the awning down the side of the van.
Have you got a drip strip ? It feeds into behind the awning. We just fitted one as when we replaced our awning last week , the fitter removed the old one which had rotted. Got it from Johns Cross.We purchased the Kampa Motor Rally Air Pro 390L 2015 model and we are really impressed with the quality. During a strong wind in Cornwall in September this year, we we're amazed at the way the airbeams flexed and stood up to what would have im sure damaged poles (if they were fitted).

We are considering having an Awning Rail fitted which should alleviate the problem. Unless of course other funsters can advise etc. To sum up though a great product which sold out initially as demand was so great. Does anyone know where to get the roof lining as again everywhere we try is sold out?.

ha haThis morning it was flat though as I forgot to put the cap on after blowing it up
if you look at the folding diagram that helps get it to the correct shape.. getting the air out I just knelt on it as I folded..Did you find getting the air out easy? Mine looks bigger than when I got it in the bag

Difference between Paul's and mine is mine takes 10 mins longer to put up with poles.Whilst out running a marathon in Saturday I left nikki in charge. The wind picked up and the awning moved alot but it didn't have awning straps etc so nikki and Mike took it down. Did you find getting the air out easy? Mine looks bigger than when I got it in the bag
think you need to experience one tbh. The reason the other 0ne "blew away in the night" is it wasn't pegged down with straps. If you didn't bother to strap your pole one down you would experience a similar phenomenon. I think you'll probably find that everyone here singing the virtues of the new Kampa Air awning has previously owned a pole type and can therefore compare them with some authority.Difference between Paul's and mine is mine takes 10 mins longer to put up with poles.
Benefits of pole version
Does not keep collapsing in high winds like a bouncy castle
Folds smaller as you don't need to roll all over it to get the air out.....oh and £280 still jangling in my pocket.
If it rips or blows away in the night I'm down £60 and will just get another from Ebay. Loads available from people who've "upgraded" to air
Would I get an air one?.. Not a chance.
