Outwell Mirage 400SA awning review

- Start date
Inflatable awnings have got a lot more expensive since we bought ours 2 years ago. It is also a few hundred quid dearer than the full poled seasonal awning, with TenCate canvas that we just bought.

From the pictures it looks a poor man's Kampa Rallye Air.
As I have learnt over the last 18 months all that matters is how good the air poles are.
May I suggest next time new air awnings are reviewed someone explains the detailed structure of the air poles including the materials used for the inner , middle and outer sections of the poles. Are the poles inter connected and capable of total isolation? Kampa ones are so you only get a partial collapse when one fails. How easy is it to puncture repair a tube?
Not easy or long lasting with the Kampa!
How quickly will a replacement tube be sent to site.
Fair play to Kampa on three ocassions new tubes have been next day couriered to site.

Good points Dust D, I have a small inflatable porch awning, with just a single half round inflatable tube, and so far no punctures, yet, the patches that come with it are really very flimsy, so I carry a roll of the clear "Gorrila" tape 2" wide and grip wonderfully, I have used it on an inflatable hottub, which is pressureised at 10 to 15 psi, so I have little dought unless the leak is on a seam that t would work on the tubes.

My first thoughts, (but I did not want to say before) are pretty much with Martin.
I thought it looked untidy, floppy and fussy, some fittings look like they came from a central heatingplumbing installation catalogue.
Perhaps it was not erected and tensioned to optimum display potential for the pics.
At the price quoted it is rather pricey also.
