I would check the quality of the duvalay. I was very disappointed and they are not cheap. I ended up using only the memory foam as a mattress topper and throwing the duvet away.

Having said that I am the only one who seems to think they are rubbish. Maybe I got a friday afternoon one. lol

Surprised at that. We've had ours over 4 years and still going strong, though I agree they are not cheap. I think the duvets in ours are made by Fogarty. OH was very doubtful before we (I!) got them but wouldn't change now.

We went Friday agree with others about the amount of accessories available and always seem in such a tight space.
We went specifically to look at awnings OH liked the Rally Airs, so we bought one lol (knew if I took him and he got to play he would like it lol) We ordered the Rally Air Pro 330 as felt we didnt want to cover half the front side window as well.

What was with all the statics??

I thought it was a 'Camping, Caravan & Motorhome Show'?

What a total waste of half a hall! You could of got more camping stuff there if it wasn't for that lot.

We used to tent, but changed to a caravan for ease when the kids arrived, it felt like all the camping stuff was shunned in to the last (and what felt like) the smallest hall.

If I could of done a questionnaire at that stand asking for customer feedback, guess what I would have said...!

Anyway, at least we've done the show.

And now, I know it's not that I don't want to do it again - I don't NEED to do it again.

We went on the Friday ,bought a rally air pro 260, from Raymond James,picked it up the same day from their shop ( their last one ) the guy on the Kampa stand told us that all rally airs had sold out and we wouldn't be able to get 1 until may. Didn't want to wait that long, as we are off to the peaks this weekend. We looked at other inflatable porch awnings but they did not seem as good quality as the new 2014 rally air.also some of the other makes had to be inflated in sections , where as the air has the one inflation point, ?

one model you had to put support bars into the roof section the rally air pro just seemed easier,
Happy days, now to try it out

Carlwaynie... You did well, these awnings are near impossible to get so if it was me or anyone else in the stand saying they were sold out everywhere then I apologise but I still think you might of got the last one in the UK...

Oh, someone on here is looking for a low priced 390 awning. You would find it hard to beat the Sunncamp crown 390 2013 model, there are some around for about £180 and they are as nice as any if this style of awning.

Gary, you may have been right about having the last one, we set it up on our trip away but couldn't secure the base down with the rock pegs we had bought, so decided to take it back down as there was a chance of winds and snow over our short stay in the peaks( the snow and winds never turned up).
Going to buy some better pegs for our next trip
