Thank you for your comments, they are extremely helpful. We were going for the air awning thinking it would be easier for my husband to erect on his own. I am disabled and cannot always help him. That is really great information for us, thank you.😊
Because it's a single pole that has no contact with van it's so easy to fit. It's a light flexi fibre-glass pole section across the roof (fitted in a typical channel), with adjustable rigid steel sections down the sides that are free standing and require no threading through channels, just fit on ends of fibre glass roof pole, and a couple of clips to flysheet, bottom end locates on a pin at base of flysheet. Because it's all fitted in a slack state there is no fighting to get it all together, once it's assembled, you adjust the two steel side poles (they telescope, with a toggle locking clamp) to put the tension in it all.
I'm fortunately fit and able, the entire setting up of canopy must take me all of 10-12 mins on my own, then spend 20 mins putting the pegs in, but you can't escape that chore even with an airbeam!
I certainly wouldn't say don't go for the airbeam, but for my needs the cost saving of poles over airbeam was a deciding factor. Either way it's a smallish and quite lightweight awning, so the arguments about manhandling the heaviness of an airbeam (it's only 10Kg!) just don't really come into play on this one.
