Just a quick update from my first use folks.....Just had a week at scalby manor site at Scarborough.
Watched loads of you tube vids and thought the dog lead was best option fro pulling it along the awning rail. So bought one off E.. blag for around £6/7 .
Firstly it is a lot heavier than I thought it would be, however no great shakes. Wife fed it Ito the rail, whilst I pulled gently withe the dog lead. Very easily I must say.
100 pumps on the air pump, again, no great shakes, steady away. up in no time. pegging out no different to other awnings.
First erection, pegged out, all done and dusted around 45 mins total....NO ARGUMENTS...
Looks the part, feels bigger than it is. Had a few comments saying it looks nice.
It's got more zips, to fit extra's than you can imagine on closer inspection.
Mad hot days, cool nights first three days, small amount of condensation, nowt to shout home about tho. Happy chappie.
Had one hell of a storm third day, pool developed on the roof, not too big however still pooled!! flicked it off naturally then, OK
Rest of the week Hot days and warm nights. NO condensation.
Deacamping was a total breeze, around 45 mins steady away. Again NO ARGUMENTS..
All in all am I happy YES... Would I buy again YES...Is it as good as the poled Dorema NO...Never had any condensation in the dorema, or pooling. However argued each and every time it was erected or dismantled.
AIR is the way forward for me, however Kampa material, not so sure about!!!! (On the air ace anyway).
Off to Cornwall in a couple of weeks for two week stint will give another update after.
Stay safe folks....

I've got a Kampa Rally Air Pro 330, and think it's great, been using it for 3 years now.
I'm a pensioner, I have no difficulty erecting it on my own (with aid of a home made version of Kampa's pulley device), I don't get where people complain about lifting the weight into the rail, you're only lifting a little bit of the flysheet to the rail at any time, not the entire thing! I've also got a smaller more lightweight fabric poled awning, it's no easier! With multiple deflation vents it's easy to get the air out and pack up, the oversize stuff bag with compression straps make getting it back in easy and then it compacts down to original as purchased pack size.
My Kampa has stood up to days of continuous torrential rain, and gale force winds (that it really should not have been up in!). There is a little bit of puddling in the roof by the central airbeam, but it's pretty much self draining in the slightest breeze, and even if it doesn't drain it's not big enough puddle to be a problem.
Two lots of friends ditched their poled awnings when they saw how easy my Kampa air was to erect and pack away, they are both still very happy with their purchase after a couple of years use.
I certainly wouldn't trade my air beams for poles on a larger sized awning. Happy Kampa airbeam user, so very much with you Kevin-t, again, just my view.
