Air Awning what sizes work

[@M..R....]

Thumbs up! We put the draught skirt along the bottom rail on either side of the wheels. Also use an Aldi Ferrex 20v hand-held digital compressor/air pump which inflates to 7 PSI in seconds and (also deflates) and does tyres and air beds/footballs etc too...cost around £13 for the bare tool and the 40v/20v battery also is used on my lawn mower and power tools.

Absolutely spot on with all the advice with Air Awnings. We were told never ti have any windows covered with poles that you can get to make the awning sit better on side of caravan as would rub and scratch windows and you can with some get a inner roof lining. The ones we have came it a manual pump but we have brought a 12v pump and it only takes 10-15minutes to get out of awning bag blow it up and peg it out with matching carpet breathable ground sheet.

On the sprite..you would need a smaller one so you have access to toilet filler and empty the cassette 🚽

One thing we found we have had awnings and now use an air canopy and would apply to both. We have a Bailey Brindisi and found putting it on from the rear, because at the front is a sticking out marker light which you can catch, is an easier way to put it on.

Great video, in lockdown when awnings were near impossible to get I bought a summerline ( kampa lookalike) a 260 with 2 annexes 1 at either side which works well as as you can just use the 260 if you like or add one or both annexes on for longer trips, only the 260 is actually attached to the caravan the annexes aren't as they attach to the awning so it enables you to have a bigger awning for people that have a smaller caravan. I believe the summerline is manufactured in France and apparently has a reasonably good reputation although if anyone else has any feedback on how they are as awnings it would be appreciated as I can't find much reviews online.

What a stupid design of any caravan to put any of the services on the nearside

[@keith40]

You could use Limpets to hold the awning on the side's of caravan caravan

[@tonyconnell435]

We have a 290 Kampa air awning but no skirt would you buy to the full length or just awning

[@thecaravanplace]

Just size of the awning 👍

[@paulbower5274]

avoid the velcro idea. the glue melts when the awning gets hot in summer and gets very messy

Thanks Paul

Poor design to have the toilet on the nearside. Or any services at all. Swifts designers always claimed to be caravanners themselves and knew what the customer wanted. I've never known anyone who wants to empty the toilet through the awning.

Smaller awning required lol thanks
