Hello meandmygirl,

Can I ask if you have the poled version of the Sunncamp Swift…and if so do the sides unzip and roll up? It looks brilliant for the money so is giving the Dometic Kampa Sunshine a but of competition!

Thanks!

Great to hear from someone who has the Kampa Dometic Sunshine Air Pro. Based on videos, reviews and a similar product on display at a local caravan dealer, this was probably our initial favourite. It looked super easy to put up.

Do you have the optional sidewalls? What are your thoughts on them?

No we don't have the sidewalls - they wouldn't fit our setup very well because our MH awning rail is higher than a caravan's so the roof is a lot more sloped than it would be when attached to a caravan.

I'm really impressed with the Sunshine Air Pro - it feels very well made, packs up nice and small and when I say its super-easy to put up that's no exaggeration: you just slide it into the awning channel and then it only takes about a minute to inflate with a manual pump. As it inflates it becomes totally self-supporting (two front legs and a centre rafter) so its easy to move it along a bit to make sure you have it in the right place, and unless its really windy there's no rush to peg it down.

We have a Sunncamp canopy. Costed very little, and weighs even less. Takes but 2 minutes to put up. Ideal for bits and pieces out of the wet. Wouldnt leave it up in any great wind though.

Hi MamaBobo

Mine is the poled verison I've had it about 3 or 4years now use it occasionally. Its either the canopy or our Kampa Air porch awning. Unfortunately the sides do not zip out or roll up.

It does give good shelter from the wind and rain and I think its good value for money. But just my opinion

We have a Fiamma F45S fitted to our Sterckeman caravan ... had it fitted when we bought the van in Germany four years ago.

It works perfectly ... is bolted to the side of the van and winds in and out to a solid case.

It overlaps the door ... goes full length of the van, up to where the curvature begins at each end.
The front support 'legs' can be adjusted so that the opening door clears the awning easily enough.

Was fitted by the caravan dealer we bought it from ... it was a six month old van, so not purchased from the manufacturer.

We have a Kampa Revo 270 with carpet, privacy room, sunshade and storm kit, got it 2nd hand from eBay, only used it a couple of times though, seems very good for what it is but we have since got a Kampa Rally Pro Air 330 so will probably never use the canopy again, keep meaning to put it on eBay but never get around to it
