Kampa are very good. When you get one make sure that you have the correct pump for it some are just not up to the job.

Before we purchased our Kampa 260 air awning over 3 years ago we had a look round at the different makes first but Kampa seemed to have better quality robust material in comparison to others. Due to the thickness of material, it of course makes them a bit heavier therefore you have to make your own choice whether you want robust or lightweight.

Another Kampa owner, who is well happy with my awning, owned/used for 3 seasons now.

Reason for choosing Kampa was not just quality, but features like single inflation point and multiple deflation points, and isolation valves on each airtube which means awning probably remains usable in event of a leak. It's the little things like apex air vents (my non-Kampa smaller 'cheaper' lightweight awning doesn't have them, and I certainly miss them!), and roof liners that also make it far more comfortable than some rivals. As always, the Devil is in the details!

We have a Bradcot Aspire 390. Single inflation multi deflation points. Good quality but heavy to feed through.
Wouldn't fancy leaving any air awning up full time on a seasonal pitch as variation in temperature can lead to exploding beams.

We have a 'driveaway' Vango Kella for 4 years, very pleased with it. No leaks and has performed well in strong winds.
It takes 15 min to put up, and 20min to pack, even in the rain.
