Inflatable awnings

I've got a Bradcot that needs increasing in size due to a new van and Bradcot advised me that they don't do alterations but refer all enquiries to Trio Pair in Pontefract.  Whilst not had it done yet, it is reassuring that a company like Bradcot recommend them, and having spoken to them they seemed very knowledgable and there was no problem for them matching the awning material.  http://triopair.com/awning-repairs/repair-services.html  

We bought a Kampa 390 pro last year, and now wish we hadn't, we've had so much trouble  with condensation, the dealer advised us to buy a lining but that made no difference, the lining just stood with water. Our Dealer told us they would contact Kampa and ask them to ring us, no call was received, we also spoke to a gentleman from Kampa at the NEC caravan show, he told us he would email us the following Monday, we are still waiting. Would never recommend a Kampa awning.

Condensation isn't just a problem with Kampa awnings - all modern impermeable fabrics are the same.  We have both a Kampa Air Pro and a Sunncamp and both suffer from condensation and friends who have a Vango experience the same thing.  It's all about how you manage it - leaving the top of the doors open slightly helps and whilst the roof lining won't stop the condensation, at least when it occurs, it doesn't drip on your head!  The only way to reduce condensation is to opt for a breathable fabric - but that brings its own problems as well.

We have a Kampa air pro 390 (2016) first used last Easter, we were fed up with having a main and a porch awning the later being harder to erect than the full awning so now we have one thats big enough for us for long stays and easy to put up for a weekend plus we have now bought the annexe in case our offspring invite themselves to re live their childhood. Kampa are more expensive than other air awnings but we have been pleased with it and of course it will get a lot more use. My niece has just bought a new bigger van and her Kampa 390 fits that, so another plus

Hello I have a Kampa Airdream 390 and it will not sit right up to the side of the van I have pegged the pads slightly under the van used the poles but I still get a gap at both sides and the zips for the doors are too tight anyone any ideas 

I have used a Kampa 260 for 3 years and have been very content with it. Used it in a very strong wind this year and, although the inflated 'poles' bent quite alarmingly, they always bounced back and the awning remained surprisingly stable.

Hi, since my earlier post on this subject (7.3.17) I have purchased a used (1 weekend!) Bradcot Aspire Air 390 - simply to give us more room. As I already had the Kampa Limpet system I had the Bradcot altered to accommodate the 'limpets' and in my humble opinion, they are brilliant ! 4 very simply applied up each side and they make a perfect seal against the van !
