We too have just bought a Kampa 390 Air awning, and have experianced the air poles on the outer corners twisting slightly and bending when the outside tempreture suddenly drops during the night. We contacted Towsure who sold us the awning, and explained what had happened.
They in turn contacted Kampa and we received an email back with instructions on how to straighten the poles at the base.They also said that twists and zips that were not straight on the inside were not a fault, as long as the air poles looked ok on the outside. The awing is very good though in high winds, yes the poles bend a bit, but they pop straight back up as the gust of wind passes.
We had also purchased the 12v inflator pump, but soon found out that this stopped short of reaching the 11psi pressure required to keep the awning erect, and found ourselves topping up the airpoles each evening with a few pumps from the hand pump as the outside tempretures started to drop.
Kampa also recommend using a waterproof groundsheet to help stop condesation forming from the moisture in damp ground. This certainly worked for us, although l know that these type of groundsheets are not allowed on some pitches due to it killing the grass undernieth.
All in all, im quite impressed with the Kampa Air Awnings, but my husband says he still prefares the poled versions, and we will be keeping our old kampa 260 poled Rally for short breaks away when we dont need such a large awning.
