blow up awnings (1 Viewer)

[Peter JohnsCross MH]

A number of the earlier ones suffered from over inflation and hot sun which made the air inside expand beyond limits and burst the inner and outer tubes

Vango and Kampa are excellent with customer care we have found in the past.

Selection here with Funsters Discount for any one interested

I seem to have stirred up a hornets nest, I just wondered what sort of life you could expect as these awnings are quite expensive and didnt want it going bang after a year or two.

If you use them as they are meant to be, ie not for months on end or constantly in hot sun, and ensure that you release the pressure on the tubes if it gets really warm so they don't pop then there should be no reason they won't last but if you do have a problem don't expect the warranty to be honoured as the suppliers/manufacturers seem to be a bit 'picky' about what they'll agree is a fault and what is just wear and tear with inflatable awnings ... personally I've not heard of people having many problems with a standard pole awning. I suppose the other thing is, if you intend to use if for a long stint then the benefit of having an inflatable awning is decreased - the whole point is it's quick to put up and take down.

I was intrigued by the concept but at my advanced age blowing up a Balloon for the Grand-kids it too hard work!. And the though of lying on the wet grass to get my mouth around the Inlet?. My Arthritis is complaining at the very though!

Our conventional awning is currently suffering from a little UV degradation

Ductape is the answer to that, on the inside, Screwfix do some cheaper than us I think

The two models.. don't mix them up.. main difference in RED

2016 Kampa Rally Air Inflatable Awnings

Featuring heavily in the new 2016 Kampa awning collection are the amazing inflatable air awnings, with the ever popular Kampa Rally Air 260 and Kampa Rally Air 390 inflatable lightweight porch offering superb value for money. Both awnings have the patented Kampa single inflation point system with each interconnecting air beam capable of being isolated via Kampa’s ingenious valve system. Made from 150D ‘Feel the difference’ Weathershield heavy duty materials which are flame retardant and UV stable, the Kampa Rally Air awnings have an incredible hydrostatic head of 6000mm with the same hot air taped and sealed seams found on the entire Kampa range. The roll to the side front panels on the Rally Air 260 allow for a veranda style front aspect with the addition of a roll up central panel on the Rally Air 390 which can also be used as a sun canopy.

Both Rally Air awnings have Crystal clear windows with internal blinds, ‘no-see-um’ mesh flyscreen side entrance doors and increased eave ventilation together with rear sealing bumper pads and awning draught skirt. The Kampa Rally Air awning can be fully pitched and pegged out in less than 5 minutes with a cleaver Quickpitch guying system. Storm straps for improved stability during inclement weather conditions and rear upright sealing poles to improve the seal between the awning and the caravan are available as optional extras. Sleeping capacity can be increased with an optional inner bedroom tent which can be used with the new Kampa Rally Air Roof Liner which adds a luxury feel to the internal living space as well as helping to reduce any condensation issues.


2016 Kampa Rally Air Pro Inflatable Heavy Duty Awnings

Since its introduction the Kampa Rally Air Pro range has been a2zcamping’s best selling inflatable awning across almost every size. Now available in four sizes: Rally Air Pro 200, Rally Air Pro 260, Rally Air Pro 330 and Rally Air Pro 390, these incredibly popular inflatable heavy duty caravan awnings feature Kampa’s single point inflation system and each internal air beam can be individually isolated using the ingenious Kampa isolation valve system. As you would expect from a Pro awning, the Kampa Rally Air Pro range are constructed using the ‘Feel the difference’ double coated 300D Weathershield Oxford Polyester fabric which is both flame retardant and UV stable. All major seams are hot air taped and sealed against the elements giving these awnings a superb 6000mm Hydrostatic head.

Using Kampa’s clever Quickpitch guying system, the entire awning can be pitched and pegged out by a single person in less than five minutes. That’s impressive for a family awning packed full of features and offering this level of protection and convenience. New for 2016 are the long awaited removable side panels. This enables the entire Kampa Rally Air Pro range to accept an optional side bedroom annexe (or two if required). But that’s not the end of the story. Kampa have manufactured both a traditional poled bedroom annexe and a super lightweight Air Inflatable bedroom annexe – either can be used with your Kampa Rally Air Pro awning and both include an inner sleeping tent. The annexes are made from the same superb 300D Weathershield materials and obviously match the colour and style of your inflatable family Kampa awning.

Doesn't UV stable just mean that the material itself won't break down, but doesn't necessarily mean the UV radiation can't get through it ... ?
