Brilliant footage some people show putting theres up from the other side of the field you put the camera were you were explaining thanks now i will get the same awning i can put ares up and her in doors can put the kettle on Brill 🤝no more putting a divorce in a bag up 😅

[@CaravanEscapades101]

Thank you, I am really glad it was of help to you, Lol, very rarely does Claire assist with the awning until its up and she puts up the curtains. :-)

Breath taking

[@CaravanEscapades101]

Thank you 😁

We love ours and will never ever go back to a full awning these are so easy to put up and since my disability this was a life safer. We use a carpet and draft strip at the back. We keep our dog pen and two chairs in there very easily. My advice to anyone thinking of on BUY IT. One bit of advice change the plastic peg peace’s to the small bungee cord type make it much easier.

Hi James, thanks for watching and commenting, agree a great bit of kit, I am thinking about maybe swapping it out for the All Season version which is a bit more hard wearing, Will make it a bit heavier, but should be able to still use it rather than an awing. I still have the main awning and do like to use that for the longer trips away. Happy Camping James

I have got ne love it and your video I have got a disabled brother and he finds it a lot better to get in the van when it's raining now no more zips to get to the door

[@CaravanEscapades101]

Hi John, thanks for commenting and glad you liked the vlogg. The canopy is a great bit of kit and very easy to use and access. Glad it has made things easier for your brother. Take Care and Happy Camping James

@@CaravanEscapades101 Hi this year will be testing the porch air awning out for 3 weeks in June and July that's the one in your film did use last year in September one week found to find it be very good

[@paulandsarahcaravanlife]

What a great awning. We have been looking for months for a quick solution for long weekend and this looks ideal 👌

[@CaravanEscapades101]

Hi Paul. Yes it is great. If I was to buy again I would pay the bit extra and go for the All Seasin version. A bit tougher better material and all the straps are Gray rather than the Bright Yellow. Thanks for commenting and stay safe James 😀

[@lindakirk698]

It's a sun canopy not an awning!

[@paulandsarahcaravanlife]

@@lindakirk698 I stand corrected. 😕 we can make mistakes

[@MakeDoAndMend1]

Hi Paul. Over many years of Caravaning. We eventually hated awnings. Norfolk our favourite destination can be very windy and you end up in the middle of the night having to take it down or trying to remove it after flipping over the top of the caravan. Didn't seem to improve things even with wide extra straps. Metal pole version damage caravans but advantage of blow ups generally safer and prevent damage. Hower flying picnic camper chairs have to put back in Van's. Wet awnings was another problem when packing up and drying them when back home. My parents Caravan was destroyed by an awning blowing over roof and tin opened the roof. The campsite in question is WoodHill Park Campsite Cromer. Over 40 years of holidaying there I've seen many damaged Van's, tents and on one occasion a lighting strike a carbon fibre tall pole flag people put up on their vans. Lady went to hospital but was ok. As our boys are grown and we dont have Dogs we moved onto small motorhome with wind out canopy. But still end up rolling it in when windy. Cheers from old George and Jane.

[@CaravanEscapades101]

Hi George and Jane, thanks for watching and caeavaning. You sure have seem some of the issues with awnings there. Thankfully we haven't had anything major. Our biggest issues has been drying it out when it's wet. Thanks for watching and Hapoy Motorhoming. Take Care. James

[@JohnWalshLegend]

Hi James, we're picking up a Sunncamp canopy next week for weekends, or when we don't want the awning up. It's not an air one , but it will look the part hopefully! Cheers....

[@CaravanEscapades101]

Hoo sounds interesting John, you will have to share some photo's on the Facebook page, when you have it up. We are taking the Kampa Sunshine Canopy with us this weekend., Happy Camping. James

[@darrendark4791]

Great video very informative, it’s all we need so I think I’ll order the 400 have just subscribed as I also liked your hitch lock video 👍

[@CaravanEscapades101]

Thanks Darren. Much appreciated. I can highly recommend Atwoolls outdoors. They are great for all things awning & tentwise. We have used them loads. They also have loads of really useful You Tube Video's as well. Thanks for your subscription. Happy Camping & Stay Safe. 😀

[@Ric_Crawford]

Just bought this canopy and side set, excellent video. I also wanted to see if the canopy has a full Accessory Track which you can see in your video it does. I have a few Accessory Track products for my Club Air Pro so glad that I can also use them on the Sunshine Air Pro. excellent vid :)

[@CaravanEscapades101]

Thank you. Much appreciated. As you can see from the Vlog this was the first time I used the side walls. Glad it helped you. Thanks for commenting and happy camping. Stay Safe. James 😀

[@brianl8635]

Good video thanks. I have just ordered the 500 version no sides as I have lost patience with the faff of putting up full awnings. You seemed to be using some kind of bungee pegs on the storm straps any more detail on those pls?

[@brianl8635]

This is a solution for weekends and hopefully less damage if it did go horribly wrong

[@CaravanEscapades101]

Hi. Glad the Vlog was usefull. I still do like a full awning for longer breaks but this is great and easy to put up for those weekend getaways. The bungie things come as part of the Kampa / Dometic storm Straps. Not expensive and you get adjustable strap, Bungie and Crucifix peg. I will put an Amazon Link below.

[@gnarlyboot477]

Hi Paul, we’re still considering an air canopy, we like the Kampa version, but we think having a window on the sides may allow a lot of sunshine into the enclosure generating heat. Are you able to attach curtains to the sides in the same manner as with a Kampa awning? Cheers from John & Al.

[@CaravanEscapades101]

Hi John & Al. The sides are only really there to stop draughts etc to act a bit like a wind break. You can't attach curtains. The sun would need to be quite low to let lots of direct sunshine in, we have found it great and offers lots of shade. Hope that helps. James

schon 2 jahre her...aber ich antworte trotzdem. wir bringen vorhänge (wenn nötig) mit magneten an. das funktioniert sehr gut. liebe grüße aus österreich

[@MakeDoAndMend1]

Forgot to mention you don't see any videos of people putting them up on a very windy day or getting them down in the rain etc. Cheers from old George

[@CaravanEscapades101]

Hi George I will try and remember that next time the situation arrises with wind and rain ⛈😆😉

[@johnbaker873]

@@CaravanEscapades101 hi I always plan to take my porch down the day before we leave I looked at the weather forecast and take it down one or 2 days before it rains a tip I leave my groundsheet down and take my awing porch down on it to save it getting muddy

[@CaravanEscapades101]

@@johnbaker873 great advise, sometimes we do get caught out though. Also great advise about the ground sheet. Thanks again for commenting. James

[@CaravanEscapades101]

Hi George, Good point, I dont know if I dare video it putting the awning up in strong winds. Maybe give it a go with the canopy first. Thanks again. James

[@keithalangrundy8009]

Hi Paul. I do wonder how stable they will be in the wind. I guess like a roll out canopy you just take t down?

[@CaravanEscapades101]

Hi Keith, I think the best option would be if the winds were strong to take it down. I suspect it will be more stable than a poled or wind out canopy based it has more flex and if the worst did happen less likely to cause damage. However I would agree that if the winds are going to be strong best course of action is to take it down.
