I have a Vango Varkala 280, it has 3 inflation valves, one for each upright and then each cross piece (4)have to be inflated and put in the roof. Chose this in preference to the Kampa. Took only a few minutes (about 15) to inflate all the sections using the hand pump that comes with it, also has draught skirt,upright poles and pads so there is nothing else needed. Cost £650, but some are advertised for less than this and are probably 2015 model. Chose this one at this price as the dealer took in my full awning in part exchange.

Depends how much of a budget you've got.

We had the Bradcot aspire 390 which cost £950 with free electric pump. 1 inflation point, tencate material.

We loved it, no condensation either, door each end and the middle window in the front could be rolled up so very airy on a hot day. The zips were very sturdy too.

The bladders have a lifetime guarantee. (Subject to conditions)

we have the kampa pro 390 its got just the 1 inflation point.we use a vango electric pump on the single inflation point and takes about 5 minutes to blow up then just peg it down so I would say from getting it out its carry bag to fully peg down around 15 minutes and the same if not less time it put it away.the 4 times we have used it this year we have never had to top the air up into at all

Just bought a kampa 390 plus & after taking a trip to try it out I have to say I was impressed. I've looked for ages & this model has a section that is an extra to that of the porch. I did look at several blow ups & the ease just made up my mind (just look at you tube) & now have 2 x Isabella's to get shot off - very pleased

We bought the Kampa 300 at the NEC this year, not cheap but a fantastic awning. 1 inflate point, goes up easily. We also bought the " conservatory" you can zip in one side. Haven't used this yet but basically all clear plastic so can get the sun but no wind. Will use in Cornwall when we go in June.. quite heavy though as material is very good quality. One of our better buys.
