We purchased a 260 Kampa Air awning second hand. It keeps losing air on the left hand side. Sometimes it loses it some times it doesnt. We were away last week and had to keep blowing it up. We pumped it up yesterday to dry it off and there was no leakage at all. My husband changed the valve at the bottom on the outside where the air is let out but there was no change when we were on site. Has anybody had the same problem?

We Have the same problem with our Kampa porch awning.
Bought in June,we have used it twice,we have a slow leak in the left hand tube.
Took the tube out and put in the bath so i could find were the leak was.
I found one leak on the tube at the point were the zip is held tight by a cable tie,so i will not be able to patch that.
Also leak at the isolation valve,which for the life of me i cannot get it to seal.
Rang Kampa today,said they would ring back,but alas didn't.
Will ring again tomorrow.

That is interesting nuggies5 because our leak developed after it had been used twice. It was bought from a friend who had changed to a motorhome. I would be interested to hear their comments when they phone you back.

Pleased they are sorting it for you buggies 5. My husband has put the tub in the bath but there was no leak. We did find a live earwig in their though. Which we managed to get out. There were no splits on the grey tubes. We cannot understand what is happening. We will try phoning them today.

It could well be at the isolation valve
put some soapy water around it and look for bubbles.

Kampa sent us a new tube free of charge. Although we couldn't see any leaks when we put it in the bath it must have had one because we changed the tube and we have it up on site and it hasn't gone down overnight. Kampa customer survives were excellent.
