Bought a DWT awning for my motorhome due to having already owned one for my caravan previously. Excellent German manufacturing. Wanted an awning that could be erected/removed quickly so decided on an Air Beam option,the DWT Bora fits the bill and comes in various sizes and 2 heights.The 'High' version is for motorhomes, mainly for coach builds and A class, the other for caravans and campervans. It can have either 3 main beams or 4 , we opted for 3 to suit our motorhome. It slides onto the rail on underside of our awning on our van ( Omnistore as fitted to Autotrail) and has both 5mm and 7mm beading to suit various vans. Once slid on , peg base corners nearest van and then outside base corners, inflate middle beam first ( 15-20 strokes on supplied pump to fully inflate each beam) then other outside beams. Awning has zipped flaps at each beam valve which makes inflating/deflating easy from outside. I like the fact it only has 3 guys lines, one in middle and one at each end, peg these first to fully support awning and then peg down sides/base using flexible plastic straps as supplied. There is an additional aluminium pole supplied which slides along inside, front top edge to give additional mechanical support to beams. You can buy additional inflatable beams to support middle but we find we don't need these, it is very stable as it comes ( experienced 50mph wind in Neterlands recently with no problems whatsoever). We can have this up in about 20mins fully pegged down and about 15mins to remove. Packs away easily into bag supplied. Only minus point is that it does not come with poles to support vertical sides at van but we bought outdoor revolution adjustable poles for £15.00 to suit and use the Velcro straps on awning to close off sides onto these poles. You can buy and additional kit which gives vertical poles and vertical pads /extra support beams but costs an extra £190.00 hence 8 not 10 stars.
