Awning.......... OMG!

Many awnings used over 30 years caravanning. Now we have a kampa air awning, best thing since sliced bread. Thread it through, a few pumps and its up, peg it down. Brilliant! Wish we had had one year's ago.

I've never had an awning or tent yet that came with instructions and my last tent was a whopper with more poles than Warsaw. It was never any big deal. The tedious bit is always all the pegs. If only grass came with velcro strips.

with you on that cyberyacht, I keep wondering now we have an airpro (no poles at all) why they can't make one with a skirting that you can fill with water and have no pegs either, but velcro sounds good, maybe the CC could lay it around all hardstandings!

ditto that! Kampa's are awesome!

Yes we've just changed ours for a vango air awning much easier especially using an electric pump.

Write your comments here...Geoff I think the idea of the water filled skirting is great, patent that before someone else does !.

Can see a couple of pitfalls to a water filled skirt - someone's got to ferry the water from tap to awning and, what happens when you spring a leak. Good idea though

You'd be OK on a sevice pitch and have a hose pipe
