Drive away awning (1 Viewer)

[PaulyP]

There was recently a thread on here about the Vango Kela airbeam drive away awning.
Someone was about to order one and others said they had them.

I am thinking of getting one, so looking for more opinions from those people that have them.

Thanks, but the Vanga Kela seems so easy to erect, as it's a blow up that takes minutes to erect.
As my wife is disabled it is something i will have to erect myself.

Hi
We have one and used it last year without problem.
I replied to the post last week but will give similar info again.

We have Kela Tall, it is very easy to erect and take down.
I am a 69 years young lady and can do the job on my own if necessary (my husband is disabled).

If you buy one I advise taking out the inner tent before erecting because when fully erected the toggles holding it in place are hard to get at. The inflated beams get in the way.
We used the awning connected and unconnected to MH and it stood up very well to strong winds.

When connected to roll out canopy the habitation door catches the tunnel canvas slightly but not a major problem. We do not have very much clearance above habitation door.

When erecting it is important to connect to MH first and then peg out footprint before inflating. You will probably need to adjust pegging when fully erected.
If you are using on hard standing I advise putting extra protection where the beams meet the ground . I didn't do this first time and the movement caused by strong wind wore away fabric on outside of tube sleeve.
Make sure you inflate to advised pressure there is a regulator in the kit.

I can't think of anything else but if you need more info please ask.
Only too happy to help.
Regards
Chris

Forgot to say you will need a connection kit. It is not supplied as standard.
I also use a groundsheet under the built in one to give extra protection from stones and sharp objects.
