As long as you buy the clip on storm straps and rear upright and monsoon poles, then the Kampa Rally should be fairly secure in your average high winds.

Like most awnings, the manufacturers do recommend taking them down if strong Gales are forcast, but thats fairly common sense really, just as you would also try to avoid towing your caravan if storm force gales were forcast.

We have both the 260 and 390 Kampa Rallies, and never had any major problem with them yet.

The kampa is an outstaning awning an possibly safer in wind than a square type awning however buy the storm attachments and take down in gale force wind ..a bit abvious eh

we got our kampa rally 390 pro.a few weeks ago,new with inner tent,from camping shop,we also purchased large can of waterproofer(fabsil),as we intend leaving the awning up for longer than the 2-3 week stretch,(we don`t tour with the van,we are sited.)and the chap at the shop suggested giving it a coat of fabsil,as it will give some protection against sun exposure.lol!

Leaking or condensation????it`s beginning to look like condensation as over the four days even with the rain we have had ,it hasn`t got any worse,probably will use fabsil though if it continues.(don`t seem right having to waterproof a brand new tent ??????)

You shouldn't have to waterproof a new awning? If the awning is nylon it should be ready to use out of the bag.

Bear in mind that the average nylon tent/awning has a life span of around six months.
