This is the first time I have posted a question, even though I have been a Club Member for over 5 years and caravanning for many more.
My problem is that my 390 Sunncamp appears to be blowing air tubes (Air bellows they call them) as if they are going out of fashion! I bought the awning new in May 2016 and followed the instructions to the "tee" in terms of erecting it and using the correct inflation pressure. We had no problems during 2016.
In March of this year on our first outing in 2017 the first tube blew and Sunncamp said that there was a batch of bad tubes i the market and replaced 4 of them free of charge, to their credit,
However - even these replacement ones are blowing; so far I am now on my 9th tube to include the first ones supplied with the awning - in 16 months not bad going (!) and we are not "on the road" excessively, We were in the Lakes last week and one of the "new" tubes blew again, luckily I had a spare with me so it was replaced quickly.
However I am not prepared to continue to replace these tubes at £40 a shot as readers will surely appreciate.
Has anyone else had the same problem or do I have a rogue awning here? I've sent two emails to Sunncamp about this but to date they have not replied..... Would be interested to hear any comments. Many Thanks
