Kampa air awning

[Mac1]

Hi all I have a kampa travel pod midi air tall driveaway Awning do they all inflate from the outside ?

i would say you pump from the outside as each airpole is inflated the awning will lift it is normally necessary to go inside the awning and push the poles upwards so that the Airpoles can assume there correct shape.

I don’t know your particular model but the Kampa air awnings that I have come across inflate, as Beachball says, from a single external point. The things to check are that all external deflation points ( usually one on each leg) are closed and that all internal connector valves are turned to open otherwise the air won’t circulate through all the tubes.
If you are pumping for ages and it’s not inflating then generally ( in the absence of a leak)it is one of the above two issues.

Hi thanks for your replies the awning that I have I have to go inside the awning to inflate it this does not seem right to me (I did buy this second hand but had one before which inflated from the outside) I assumed they all inflated from the outside as this makes more sense than getting under neath and trying to inflate.

Had a Kampa Drive-Away (which leaked) and a Vango Drive-Away for an old curved roof caravan and they both inflated from outside.
