What size do you need?

Actually we use a 1/2 size awning, it's more than big enough for what we want.

We have an Isabella awning which we love itā€™s great for all our clan when we camp together.

We also have an air awning that is 1/2 the size. This one is even quicker to put up

Iā€™ve heard many caravaners refer to awnings as ā€œdivorce in a bagā€. So choose wisely

We have a full Isabella which we now rarely use, as we have a Kampa Rally Air Pro porch awning thatā€™s easily big enough for the two of us with a table and chairs, and itā€™s so much easier to put up and take down

Thatā€™s the one we have. Except when itā€™s just the two of us. Dog seems to prefer sleeping on the bed with us.

Kampa Air also, got a full Isabella with the van but as has been said putting it up was stressful.

The Kampa Air is great, easy to put up and has stood up well to some windy weather. The inner headliner is useful doesnā€™t completely stop condensation but helps, the only problem I have is getting the dam thing back in the bagšŸ˜”

People next to us last year had a full air awning nice piece of kit but Ā£1500šŸ˜¬

Weā€™re thinking of getting an Air annex for a bit of extra storage space.

Hi,

if you go for a half/porch awning they fit any caravan, if you go for a Full awning they are size specific to each caravan (some vans are the same) so when you change the van for a different layout you may want another awning Whistle
just saying Laughing

Another Kampa Air here. About 15 mins from unpacking to fully inflated and pegged out. The best thing I ever did was buy the Dometic Gale pump for it though. Set the psi and just leave it. My back couldnā€™t take any more with the bloody stirrup pump.

Porch Awning every time Stu.

Plenty big enough and easier to put up than a full type.
The air / pump up types are very heavy, I had one and got rid of very quickly.
