Hi There General !
I bought the Encore 390 last year after originally looking for the Kampa rally 390. I almost bought the Kampa, but it was only due to being out of stock I started to look at the Sunncamp Encore 390 again. I then change my mind and bought the encore.
There were a couple of things that did this, firstly as I really thought about usage, the Kampa has a door on the side but its only small (but it did have flyscreen). On testing I found I had to zip twice to open due the flyscreen which I thought would get on my wick. Plus on site I tend to use the side more and liked the fact that I could zip out the whole side on the encore but not on the Kampa (you can on the 350 but not the 390), especially as the gas point on the van tends to be at the front, so having it open leading to the barbecue was me appealing to me. I also did like the covered front porch if not zipping out the side (although I have been on a site which meant I had to use the side as the door, which was not a problem).
The second was the fact that the encore came with the annexe, like you can get for the K350 but the K390 cannot do this). The annexe, rear poles and roof poles are all in the price of the encore which is roughly the same price as the K390, so you would have to pay extra for the Kampa rear poles and roof poles, which is about £30.
With the Encore I also got a skirt for the bottom of the van, which again I think is extra with the Kampa.
Material wise I believe the spec is the same, 350D. Feeling them both I cant feel a difference. I also have a Sunncamp Swift porch for weekends and that is a lower spec material that you can feel the difference with, but for weekends its fab.
So you may end paying £50 more for the kampa in the long run, but as for a 390 porch the Kampa or Sunncamp are both excellent buys. Just think about how you would use it on site and which doors you most likely to use and does that tick your boxes.
Hope that helps and post back what you decide.
