We bought one of there at the NEC last year from Waudbys. It seemed like a good price and we paid more for the heavier version. So it was £390 with some extra poles. We have seen it cheaper online since then, so it was not the bargain that it was presented as.
Waudbys lost the order so we didn't get it until February. We put it up at home to check that it fitted okay, then put it up when we got on site yesterday. The instructions are appalling, and there are no pull tabs on the outside of the door zips, but otherwise it seemed okay. The fit against the van is not brilliant even with the extra poles however.
It rained last night, and it has leaked like a sieve! We put various things in it last night, everything is wet through. Usually we sleep in the awning, but fortunately we crashed in the van last night. We expected to store our bedding in it during the day at least. Seams leaked, the roof leaked, and water has come in everywhere. Even the window inside the awning has water running down it. I phoned Waudbys and they said that this is the first one with any problems. We have refused a replacement. Has anyone else bought one?
I guess that's a no then. Take my advice, avoid. The design if this means that water gets trapped between the inflatable parts and the plastic. We now have our old awning up, which is also much quieter in the wind.
