Hi Beachball,
We have a Vango, very pleased with it, think it is lighter than the equivalent Kampa, easy to put up and take down,and good pegging system, other difference vs Kampa is the Vango has several inflation points,we bought ours from JR Leisure at Leicester, via their website I would go for the Braemar over the rapide, mainly because I think you get more headroom. Just checked on JR website and they have new 2017 Vango Varkala awnings in 280 and 360 sizes at very reduced prices.Hope this helps

Hi Beachball, we have a Vango Rapide II 250. Mainly because this was the biggest porch awning that would still fit a tiny Xplore 302. What we like is that it is relatively easy to get through the awning channel, in comparison to some other air awnings which have more air beams sewn in; the quality is great; the Draught skirt Velcro’s to the sides of the awning and it comes complete with rear poles, pegs, storm straps etc ( as do other Vango awnings) and it has an adjustable pegging system. As woodsieboy says headroom at the front is a title limited if you are tall (we’re not :cheer: ).
Hope this helps
Mel

You have certainly picked all the reputable brands, which is a good start. I am personally a big fan of the Kampa Ace Air series and they offer them in a range of sizes. There are some other recommendations here -> https://darimo.co.uk/best-caravan-awnings/. As others have mentioned, i would worry about the headroom!

Having seen another post of exploding bladders we're even more of a fan of our Outdoor Revolution awing-the bladders have a pressure relief valve as well as the inlet valve so you can never over pressurise them; VERY well made too.

Hi Beachball
We have the new Vango Montellina air wning, plenty of headroom, & a 4 x 3 metre footprint.
Got ours from Glossop, they even threw in a vango carpet free of charge, & a big discount on list price. No i am not an employee.

Good decision as the Vango has to be better than any Kampa air awning!
