I am interested in the Vango Sanna Air Awning and just wondering if anyone on here has purchased one and what their thoughts are on this awning.

I know it doesn't have the single inflation point like the Kampa ones, but I wonder if that may be a good thing.

I have had a quick look at one and it seems to be very good quality.

Any opinions would be gratefully received.

Hi
They are superb (i'm bound to say that though being a retailer), they have loads of features as in mesh panels etc but yes they do take a little longer to put up. The Kampa Rally is a faster pitch. We are talking 1 mins for the Kampa inflation or 5 mins for the Vango.
Pitching these awnings id best by sliding the awning into the rail, then pegging the two rear corners slightly under the van then pulling the two frony corners forward and pegging them, that way the awning is not going anywhere, then start pumping the tubes, simple, then finish off the pegging.

Thanks for that.

Can you tell me the difference between the Sanna and the Varkala ? Apart from price !

It's the denier of the fabric, check it out on the spec. It's like the Kampa Rally Air and the Rally Air Pro.
