It so handy to have especially if it's raining can leave wet shoes and coats out there... Spent ages cleaning up all the mud in doorway just had a big mat there now all clean x

We have this exact awning, I have an array of awnings from Dometic to expensive Isabella. Yes its thin and probably wont last as long as the more expensive ones, but for weight and speed to put up it is just great and we use it most of the time unless on a long stay and then use a full one. The biggest plus is that it dries extremely quickly if you do have to put it away wet or damp. I love it....

Your new awning is the same as our weekends one ,they are surprisingly very strong in decent winds . I would get a couple of storm straps over it though . Also you will probably have to top the air up now and again .We have a seasonal caravan in Cornwall and are allowed to leave a seasonal poled awning up from April to September but not an air awning . We only use our air awning from September to April . But with you being on site all the time I suppose it doesn't matter . But I'd set to put some storm straps over it .😁😁👍👍

Good to see marks got his priorities right 😂. Iv got a new pump up awning. Going to try it out this weekend. Wish me luck 🙏. Good to see you guys xx

Was that a awning vlog it wasn't that bad it kept me awake, are you prefering it to your old one is the air filled tubes a game changer. I thought of a daft question recently to ask you. You say you work 6months of the year then take 6months off. In the period you work do you ocrew any holiday entitlement ie paid holiday leave. I was in garden maintenance for four years I got paid same wage for 52weeks of the year but I wasn't allowed any holiday days off between March & October. Though I only worked two weeks in November & February & only one week in December & one week in January. So that wasn't too bad effectively getting paid ten full weeks paid holiday. So basically I sacrificed my summer vacation for 6 weeks extra pay, but it worked out better because we sometimes got rained off in summer fully paid.

Hi … we thought of that same issue too re storm straps. We do get strong winds here so hence we thought we’d give the air awning a try instead of poles.. got enough dents on side of the caravan from poles and wind. It will be a perfect test that we can report on through the season to all interested and see what the awning is like by September x

I have a air awning and was wondering what strom straps you use if any? I can't find any that fit, without buying the universal ones which need to be modified to my awning.
