Hello. We have just bought a new full air awning to replace our too small porch awning. Now at just ove 31Kg, the new awning is about twice the weight of the porch job. I am a bit paranoid about weight, our Lunar Conquest has a nose weight that I struggle to get below 100Kg, so all the stowage has to be over the axle. The gear that we normally stow over the axle when we are on the road weighs about 28Kg, that includes the poles for the porch awning, the awning it's self we carry in the car.
The car also has the dog, cool box with drink, clothes, tv, electrical gear chargers tablet ECT, hitch lock, dog food, towels, and a few other smaller items.
If I was just to replace the porch awning in the car with the air awning I would be increasing the weight of that item by about 50%, there would also be a weight decrease in the van by about 7Kg because we won't be carrying the awning poles.
So my over all weight increase is about 15Kg, do I add that to the van or the car.
