We have a Kampa Rally Pro 260, its mainly used on shorter trips and early or late in the year. Its the poled type not air.

We found it online, a previous years model so reduced. With groundsheet, storm guys and rear poles it was just over £300.As it was in midlands we collected it. Had it 3 years and very pleased with it.

We have a full Dorema which we use on our main holidays in France, nice and big with zip out panels. Must be 15 years old now, faded but no leaks.



Would you say the front panel of this awning has a design flaw? I think the way it only rolls back to one side is ridiculous at best, and downright stupid at worst. Its a pig to roll back, and when it rains, anything just inside the front gets wet.

I am having a second zip installed soon, to enable the front panel to open both ends, and be pushed upwards and outwards to be used as a canopy with 2 poles. Otherwise, these are brilliant awnings that erect in minutes.

Having had a few porch awnings I’d say but the length to fit your van. I bought a 330cm so that it sat nicely on the van.
A second hand poked Kampa Rallye shouldn’t set you back too much, probably £100 or so. What I would do though is waterproof it. Use Fabsil Gold & paint it on with a large paint brush.
