Come on members, not read any discussions on this new model yet. We need to know how you are getting on with them?

Maybe because many of us have plumped for the Kampa Air beam awnings!

...Well you did ask! Wink

(and I figure if you are posting a 'free advert' you expect to take the rough with the smooth!)Wink 

Having said that, if you want to send me one, I will willingly undertake an in depth review for you!Laughing

Looked at one in a showroom which looked good, saw the price for my size van, which did not look so good (£1600 ! )

Think I'll stick with my Isabella.

Most air awnings that are for our van are heavy compared to our isabella with light weight frame ,but as already said if you would like a real indepth review instead of the quick put up, look, take down as in "magazine" reviews

I've just bought one!!!

We will be trying it out tomorrow and will post my review as soon as.

one problem l have already encounted was buying the right size for my van,l visited your website and put in my make and model, this gave me the size l required.l ordered that size from my local dealer but when collecting he double checked on the size with us, Bradcot still was saying we had ordered the correct size on the web site, but because a previous customer had had a problem with it fitting for the same size van as mine,thought he would ring Bradcot and double check for us, upon doing this he was told we needed a different size if we wanted it to fit correctly!!!!

This meant we needed another combination set up and another section (costing us more), luckily our supplier had the right sizes in as we had waited a month for the wrong size to arrive.

I have been looking on sites at these newer air awnings and have come to several conclusions from my observations,please correct me if I am wrong. They take as long to put up as a standard awning. They seem to look firm and rigid when first put up. When the weather is warm and sunny they still look well inflated.however when the weather is damp or the air pressure changes then they look soft and floppy and look  in need of a touch of extra air.The windows begin to look creased and the  pegs look as though they are in the wrong place, and the panels look saggy.I realise that standard awnings need to be checked and the pegs often need a little extra hammering but these new awnings seem to be  extra work encompassing. Right or wrong?    SG2

We watched our neighbour put up a new Bradcot Air awning last week and it took four of them most of the morning to get it anything like right and, after many phone calls, he's still not happy with it.

We have a Bradcot Air Aspire 260 and find it perfect for us. Once we had found the right connector for the pump (several supplied) it was straightforward. And of course easier to do the next time. It's always stayed firm and very "solid". A week of wind and rain at New England Bay earlier this year caused no problems. We never had to touch it or adjust once it was up

For us, it is better than fiddling about with poles.

We have a Kampa Air Awning 390 it took us 2 hours to put up the first time, hour and a half the second and the third time 32 mins. It is a great awning i don't know about the Bradcot cost £899 for the Kampa

after buying the Bradcot modul air awning and trying it out for the first time last week,we was very impressed but also disappointed.

We are complete novices at caravaning, we picked up our brand new van on Friday and went to collect our awning, after finally getting the right size for our van off we went.

We read through the instructions ( it could have done with having a few diagrams to help explain the process) we found the awning very easy to put up, but it did not look right....After another day at looking at it again we realised that it did not fit our van correctly, we ordered our caravan from Germany and the door is on the opposite side meaning the slope of our van was to the right and not to the left.we contacted our supplier who then contacted Bradcot on our behalf and found out they don't do one to fit our van,if we was to have the full size ( and that's why we opted for this awning as we wanted the option to have a part or full awning)

We are that impressed with the awning on how it looks and the ease of putting up and taking down we are going to keep it and not have the front slope.We had many admiring looks from other campers and questions on the awning we could not praise it enough,l just hope that some time in the future they may make a sloping front to fit my van.

See my post on Bradcot Aspire Air 390 if Modul Air has zips on air poles beware not to damage your van.
