We would like to purchase an air awning for our caravan (Eldis Chatsworth 636 2016 model). We have been comparing the Kampa Club Air All Season awning with the Suncamp Airvolution Icon Air and had all but decided to purchase the Kampa air awning.

However one last check reading the reviews has thrown a spanner in the works as the reviews we have read regarding Kampa are rather off-putting with regards to leaking roofs and exploding poles! The Suncamp appears to have more positive reviews.

We would welcome your opinions on the above two awnings and appreciate your guidance.

I have a Kampa air pro awning and initial there was a slight leak on the roof seams which I treated with an aerosol water proofer and have not had any further problems. I also have the Kampa electric air pump on which you can set the max pressure. I find that just 5lbs psi, which is half the suggested amount, gives firm enough pressure and gives me a wide safety margin and consequently I have not had any burst tubes in 2 years since new.
