WARNING
I have a Dorema Air awning. And oh boy had it been an expensive nightmare. It had 4 legs and 6 cross members. Over 4 years I have had to replace the Iinner tubes at least 12 times. I think the last tubes cost me about £50 plus each.
That in itself is an expensive nightmare but fancy being on site when they burst and you don’t have access to a new tube. You spend the rest of the holiday with a partially deflated awning that looks a disgrace. I’ve tried carrying spares which helps but now I carry white plumbing pipes and tape 2 together to form an arch. I should not have to do this
. In fairness the staff at Dorema Castleford have always been good with me and not always charged me but the problem remains. Think long and hard before use buy any air awning.
just to clarify I’ve had the awning 4 years but only been caravaning 150 days in that period of time. So not excessively used. And I’ve not over inflated them. I even let air out if I think it’s going to be a sunny day.
im going to buy another awning for my elf did rambler 19/4 and would welcome any advise.
