Hi people,
just in case anybody might be pondering on buying a Kampa air awning, would just like to say that we bought one (as in title thread) to take away with us on our Christmas trip to Somers Wood in North Warwickshire.
Have to say we are very impressed so far. Having had a rigid one, ooh argh missus on our previous motorhome which took around 2-3 hours to put up, this is very quick. First time out about 25 minutes,
apparently they should take around 10-15 minutes once you have got the hang of it.
It was quite windy where we were and it did not move.
The only downside we can think of is if you were on site for longer than 3 to 4 days, emptying of the grey water could be a problem as you cant just drive away. Seriously thinking of buying a caravan ( I know, wash my mouth out ) grey water container and decanting into this to get over the problem.
That small problem aside, it certainly is a improvement on our last awning.
As it only takes minutes to put up, can see it getting used a lot more than our old one, which in fairness due to the time it took to put up rarely got used.
So in summing up very impressed !
Next expense, a toad, but that is question is for another day, A frame or trailer, takes cover as I know this will probably start another heated debate, and we don't want people getting sent to Coventry do we people.....................................................
