Does anyone have a Coachman Laser and use a porch awning? We want a porch awning possibly an air awning but the space between the door and the window is only around 100mm. I don’t think it was well planned but I want I know if anyone is successfully using an air awning or porch awning and I does it fit easily in the gap or does it have to cover the window and go from he front? Sorry for the rambling x
We've got a 675 VIP, same thing I think and use an Isabella porch on it, no bother. You've just got to take a second to line it up right in the channel so that the door and the window clear ok.
The only problem I had was with the centre roof pole being directly above the fridge vent. I had to modify a bead clamp to sit in the narrow gap there, but if only took a few minutes with a file to sort it out.
No experience of air awnings I'm afraid but hopefully someone else will be able to shed some light on that aspect of your query.

If you opt for a Kampa air awning, there are pockets at each top corner to accommodate the Kampa rear upright extension poles which are specifically designed to keep the edge of the awning vertical. There are two versions but the deluxe telescopic ones are better quality and more robust than the 5 piece quick fit. Because the gap between the door and window is narrow you will need these poles but don't be tempted to opt for the Kampa limpets instead (which also hold the side vertical) because they leave sucker marks on the caravan side that are virtually impossible to shift. Many people have had this dilemma regarding the narrow distance available but if you follow the above advice it CAN be achieved.
