We purchased one for the last week of our hols after the wind took our Bradcot out [2 weeks ago].

Quite alot of condensation with 3 labs sleeping in it, and on our last day the wind was quite severe a kink did appear in the lower part of right hand tube which did not right itself by popping back, this may have been because it was a first time for us and not erected quite right.

We did purchase the storm guys and back poles, they were only £33 extra, would like the carpet but they were out of stock.

Am still nervous about high winds after our last experience of it, but will probably take heed of weather warnings in future and take it down before hand, they do say in the blurb it is designed for light to moderate weather and take down during strong winds or snow

It did go up much quicker than expected, and came down easily plus fits in the nice big bag it came in easily, so looking forward to next time and hope we iron out the kink we had previously.

Must admit, the air has never appealed to us. I have been put off them by the amount we have seen on sites with problems and owners we've spoken to that have said they wouldn't buy air again but go back to poles. I know there are many people pleased with them though so it's all about individual choice.

I don't honestly think there's that much difference in time to put up as it's the pegging that takes most time. I could put up the 260 rally with poles without OH in about 15 mins plus pegging if that.

Just bought the Kampa Rally Pro Ace 400. It's a new hybrid awning so in between a full and a porch in the way that all 5 panels zip out and it's the heavier weight material. Very stylish awning as it comes out an extra 50cm in a bay at the front. Very pleased, would recommend to anyone!
