Hi every one bit of a novice at message forums so I apologise if I commit any faux pas. I have been thinking about getting an inflatable awning for our Bailey Pegasus and was wondering how good they are? i.e. how long do they stay up without pumping up again? Are they easy to inflate ? And what do they behave like if it gets breezy? If any one out there has one I would appreciate some advice.
Cheers Ingieman

We have purchased the Revolution air awning and have now used it 5 times once for a weeks holiday and 10 days for a longer holiday and 3 long weekends it only has one blow up tube and the pump also deflates it and we are very satisfied with it as brought it as we are getting no younger and find it so easy and light to put up

That's good to hear you don't have to keep re-inflating. One of my concerns was it might be a flash in the pan technology that wasn't as good as all the hype.

Thanks for taking the time to reply and answer my questions.

From another who's also not getting any younger I'm all for life being made easier when setting up. Less time setting up means more time chilling out and getting on with the holiday.

It's usually me that puts the awning up single handed as the Mrs sorts the inside of the van and puts the kettle on!

Thanks for taking the time to reply

Air inflated units have been around for years and are no 7 day wonder.

We have an Igloo inflatable tent in the attic that must be 40 years old by now.
