Tbh, we have now tried both types of awning, Air and Poled versions of the Kampa rally awnings, and im not convinced that the Air awnings are worth the extra money. Its true that they are good in high winds, but they also require more attention once they are up as differences in tempreture, hard to gauge pressure, and some deflation over the threeweeks ours was up, made for it being part of our daily chores to check if it needed a ' top-up'.
Our old poled version of the Kampa 260 is still going strong into its 7th season. Its easy to erect, and once its up, it needs little attention, apart from using the storm straps if high winds are expected. Depending on your model of caravan and the length of the level awning rail available, you should find an awning to fit your caravan, as porches start at just 1.5mtr wide. You may be suprised by the size that will fit, our Air awning is a 390cm fited onto a 462 caravan, making almost a full awning, and skimming the front side window edge with about 10cm to spare.
Whatever you buy, try and get the rear upright poles that help seal the real ende of the awning to the caravan, they are well worth the money for both air and poled versions alike. If you do decide to buy Kampa, the clip on storm straps are also a wise buy.
Try to avoid fouling windows with the edge of the awning if you can, after long term wear the friction of the flapping fabric can cause fine scratches on the plastic surface of the the windows.
