Hi all.
Yesterday my Kampa awning popped. I have only used it a dozen or so times and the latest trip it was up about 3 weeks in Wales. It is about 14 Months old.
I contacted Campimg world who sent the details on to Kampa. Unfortunately they replied
“From the photos, we can see the awning has faded quite considerably, the way that the roof material has torn would also indicate this is due to the UV degradation of the material. Material failure due to UV degradation is not covered under warranty, as per the instruction book. The awning is also out of warranty”

Very disappointed with Kampa. It is the inner.tube that has failed and these have a 2 year warranty.
Just wondering if anyone else has had a problem with theirs.

Sorry to hear of your misfortune.

I hate to say it, as we have a Kampa Fiesta air, that there has been so much adverse publicity regarding problems and Kampa's obvious dismissal of any liability, that it is almost criminal.

How can they say that if you use it on a sunny day or two, the guarantee is void?
Surely they are "not fit for purpose"?

I am surprised anyone will buy anything of value from Kampa if any warranty given by them is an inch short of worthless.

Yes we have one of their awnings. However I cant see us buying another.

I would have thought that your argument is with Camping World who were the suppliers of the faulty goods. If as you state, the faulty part is covered by a two year warranty, seek advice from your local Trading Standards Office.
Best of luck with the outcome.

I also believe that the seller has primary responsibility.
If you don’t get any progress with them or trading standards you could try the credit card company if you paid by card. I have used this avenue successfully on two occasions. I think the route is known as section 75 which is the relevant section of a finance act.
Both Amex and Capital One were helpful.I was paid £1500 by Capital One for loss of use of a Bailey which was off the road for 9months due to damp and other issues.
