Hi, has anyone bought one of these?

We currently have a full size awning and the Kampa Rally 390, but we are looking into purchasing the Sunncamp Air as you can have two annex's fitted onto it.

Just wanting some feedback really from an owner of one.

thanks

we have the suncamp ultima air 280,used it all this season and its great,very easy to put up,we even erect it for weekends now.So much better than poles.Takes us about 15 mins from start to finish.Plus its more roomy than our other porch awning.

Im sure they will have one erected just like lowdham caravans where we saw ours.If i had not seen it i would not have bought one.I could not believe how sturdy it was with no poles.And if its windy when putting it up and it sort of wants to go over the van there are no poles to damage your pride and joy.Best thing ive ever bought for caravanning,Just one thing,the extra air tubes for the roof support are not supplied,but i recommend you get them,Fine if weather is good,but any rain tends to sag the roof without the extra support.

I bought a new Suncamp Airvolution Ultima 390 Air Delux last year as my small porch awning was looking tatty. I bought an Annex at the same time for the extra bedroom space. I have been very happy with it until recently. Good Points are:
Quick to erect - 10 mins, Very sturdy/rigid in strong winds, versatile opening panels for light, flyscreens or fully open and annex can be added to either end.
Bad Points:
Recently I have had a major problem with leaks as this is the first time I've used it in the Autumn. The leaks seem to be coming from the whole roof fabric which hits the roof beams and drops and also from the stitched section in the middle roof panel.
I've had no problems before and I'm thinking a recent pitch under an oak tree has damaged the fabric with the black soot like particles dropped by the tree.
I've tried to clean it with Fabsil cleaner with no luck.
Once I have cleaned it I will have to re-waterproof it.
I'm pretty annoyed that the material has only lasted 1 year and it may not now be salvageable with my £750 spent lost. I would purchase an air awning again but would advise anyone buying one to look closer at the quality of material used in manufacture and how often maintenance (waterproofing etc) is required.

Hi ,

We have suncamp ultima 390 air and had it around 2 seasons.

Really happy with it, goes up in 10 mins with ease, plus some pegging (dependant on time of year).

Really nice and light as in let's light in well, and has good access points, we normally pole the middle window open and it's great.

We have had it up in really strong gales and it stood the test well.

Happy vanning
