Vango Varkarla 280 Connect Caravan Air Awning 2018

[@gavinstreetie1473]

Hello phil another good one , have you been listening to our conversations this week ? Your timing could not be more perfect! We’ve been in awning about how much choice there is !! I’ve read so much reviews I think my head is going to go into meltdown! Don’t know yet air or frame ? Looks a good selection where you are ? Keep filming sprite partner !

Thanks Gavin. Yep just like you the choice and design is a bit of a minefield. I will let you know which one I choose as soon as I can and why. I will be buying Air as I feel they are easier to put up on my own.. Cheers Sprite Bro! :)

Hi Phil, good video, we changed from poles to air with the Vango Kalari 420. Its a fantastic awning and will fit on any van that we would want to change to but it’s bloody heavy to put on the rail. we have just ordered a lightweight porch awning with one pole for weekends away, much easier!

Thanks Martin. Yes we have done the same. We are buying a lightweight pole awning from Martin Davies from Twitter. We are also buying an air awning for longer trips away. Thanks Phil.

Omg Phil.... sky hooks really do exist😱. I got sent for some of them yrs ago lol. Good vlog Phil. I got my kampa from winfeilds,, very good company to deal with.. only thing I don’t like about the vango is that u have to blow each pole up separately. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎

Thanks for your comment. Yep Sky Hooks really do exist. When working in industry I got sent for a Left handed hammer! LOL. I will be looking at all the air awnings before I make my own mind up. I think there is very little in terms of quality which makes it more difficult to decide. Thanks Dude, Phil.

Thank you for another great review! :)

Hi Phil, great review. Seems like a great awning and I do like the curtain system. We have a Kampa so it's not the same however, we have found that we never use the curtains really and just retire into the caravan later in the evening. Oh, check your email... I've sent you and Julia something :)

[@lostweekendscaravan]

Hello. The Curtain system is not a deal breaker for us. We will use them when Alfie is with us as will use the awning to get him dressed etc plus we will use it when he is in bed in the front lounge. Thanks for your comment and support. Will check my emails in a minute. Thanks Phil and Juliet.

Thanks Lucio. I use a Dorema Sun Canopy now. I don't have an awning anymore. Thanks for watching. Phil👍🙂
