Just returned from a week away used the Pennine Air for the first time.
Delighted with it, excellent floor space - larger than other porch awnings.
Excellent quality fabric and finish.

The front unzips giving a 'two door' space, 2 side doors and two side windows, so a choice of options to how to arrange 'the furniture'.
Very easy to fit pole supports and side bars, easy to erect and easy to deflate.

Fitting the straps round the poles before lifting the FC poles to the right height was less fiddly, probably will adapt to fix a zip next year when the warranty has expired.

We unzipped the side panel in the FC which added a sense of space.

Rained several nights, absolutely no water ingress at roof level or anywhere else for that matter!

Well chuffed with it.

Will put a photo up when I can find the camera......

LIkewise, used ours over half term for the first time. Found the instructions particularly unhelpful (didn't mention the strap that went across the bottom between the "arch" and had a different method of connecting the upright poles,) but it was pretty intuitive anyway. We found it easier to put the horizontal poles in loosely before pegging out, whereas the instructions had it the other way round.

It made such a difference when you really can't be bothered with the full awning.

It didn't rain, so can't comment on the issue highlighted about where it joins the camper - but the flap on the camper canvas sat quite snug over the awning, so it would have to be quite a gale I think for water to actually come in that way.

Going to be using ours for 12 nights in France in a couple of weeks time. We shall see how we get on with the reduced spaced but as theres only two of us I din't see a problem.

I used mine last weekend for the first time, found that it appeared to be a little snug between the strapping points and as a result the roof poles didn't follow the seams as I believe they should, Very easy to erect, though I feel I'm going to modify the existing flap as even though I got it as taught as possible the wind still lifted it and the flapping gave me a bit of a sleepless night, the wife likes the awning far easier to erect than the main awning, I was away for 10 days just me and the dog for 6 of the them with the wife joining for the weekends, I had the main awning up for the majority of the time only using the air awning for the last couple of nights there seemed to be enough space I put the table in front of the centre door, I have a beer fridge which uses the outside plug socket so I only used 1 door, I like the built in curtains and fly screens. All in all a good buy
