We bought a Kampa rally air pro 260 two weeks ago along with storm straps carpet and the additional metal poles. The first time we put it up our chairs were soaked the next morning which we thought was caused by condensation dripping from roof (it does warn about condensation in the instruction book) so I duly ordered a roof liner which is supposed to minimise the problem.Tried the awning again this weekend and we did have quite heavy showers- it was leaking in in about half a dozen places -mainly along the seams where the airbeams are but not along the awning rail where you might have expected. We have contacted the dealer that we bought the awning from who is going to speak to Kampa on Monday -Just wondering if anyone else has had problems with leaks/condensation with this type of awning? We really like the design and ease of use but don't really want to have to pack everything away when it rains-thats the whole point of buying the awning-we did think of buying some seam sealant but were worried that we wouldnt be able to return the awning if it didn't stop the leaks. I know that these awnings are quite hard to find in stock anywhere at the moment and am worried that if the dealer can't get a replacement for us that i'm going to be left with £150 quids worth of accessories and no awning to put them in.We are VERY disappointed to say the least !!

Just to add insult to injury we also developed a leak from the shower tap and can't work out how to access it.We have a Swift Celeste 2006 if anyone can advise 17how to change it I'd be very grateful!!

We have only recently changed to a caravan from our Pathfinder thinking we would be more weatherproof and never had a leak anywhere in that.
