2016 Kampa Caravan Awnings - Product Review

7 September 2015  |  Josh

Over the past 10 years Kampa have undoubtedly become one of the most well respected manufacturers of caravan porch awnings, with a reputation based on sound design and value for money in an immensely competitive market place. Kampa, however, have an advantage over many of their competitors – innovation.

Kampa caravan awnings have always been desirable for a number of design features not found on other products. In 2013 Kampa launched the Rally Air range of inflatable awnings, bringing a simple interconnected air filled tube design to the UK caravan awning market. The Rally Air awning range was an instant success, far beyond expectations. The single inflation point design made the Kampa Rally Air a simple and reliable awning, highly sort after and sold out within weeks!

The new 2016 range of Kampa Caravan Awnings from a2zcamping.co.uk offers a combination of both more traditional poled porch awnings with the amazingly successful Kampa Rally Air awnings – you’re sure to find the perfect awning for your particular needs. 

2016 Kampa Rally Classic Awnings

The Kampa Rally Classic Range features the ever popular Rally 200, Rally 260, Rally 330 and Rally 390 awnings; all made from ‘Feel the difference’ 150D Weathershield flame retardant and UV stable materials with a comforting 4000mm hydrostatic head. Naturally all the major seams are hot air taped and sealed for maximum weatherproof protection and the entire range features Kampa’s Crystal Clear Windows all with internal blinds. Roll up front panels, extra fine ‘no-see-um’ mesh flyscreens and sealing rear bump pads are included as is a suitable caravan draught skirt.

But the real difference with these awnings, over some of the competition, is the legendary adjustable front steel legs which not only allow for the perfect pitch (even on uneven sites) but also keep the front of the awning more upright, allowing for maximum internal usable height.  Suitable for caravan awning rail heights of between 235-250cm the Kampa Rally awning range continues to be an ever popular choice with many touring caravan owners shopping at www.a2zcamping.co.uk.

 2016 Kampa Awning Accessories

Optional extras add a personal touch and a home from home feel to your new awning. Kampa have produced a range of accessories to perfectly compliment the new 2016 awning range from a2zcamping.co.uk. The All new Pro Windbreak is a perfect example. Brand new for 2016 the Kampa Pro Windbreak is a 5 metre heavy duty windbreaker made from the same incredibly durable ‘feel the difference’ double coated 300D Weathershield Oxford Polyester fabric used on the entire Kampa Rally Pro and Ace  awning range. The material is flame retardant and UV stabilised with the poles made from super strong steel. Standing 140cm high, the Pro Windbreak comes complete with high visibility fluorescent green guy lines, pegs and a tough, durable carry/storage bag. The Kampa Pro Windbreak also features three Crystal Clear horizontal window panels and three steel top cross poles which keeps the entire windbreak rigid and stable. 

Also new for the 2016 season is the Kampa SabreLink Awning Light System. 150 super-bright LED strip lights which, can linked together and, extended to form a continuous light rail around the interior of your awning. Every new 2016 Kampa awning has Velcro tabs compatible with the new SabreLink lighting system making it quick and simple to fit. The SabreLink also comes complete with pole clips and ‘S’-hooks for simple fitment almost anywhere. The SabreLink Starter kit includes a single lighting strip and remote control so you can begin creating your own awning mood lighting – oh very romantic!

For those who want a truly effortless camping experience, Kampa have introduced the Breeze 12v Two Stage Air Pump; designed specifically for their inflatable awnings and tents. The all new Breeze two stage air pump simply plugs into a 12v power source using the extra long power cables.  Simply set the required PSI and let the pump make inflating your awning a ... well breeze of course!

Kampa’s new 2016 cotton based Awning Roof Liners are a superb addition to any Kampa compatible awning. These roof liners attach inside your awning with the appropriate toggles adding a layer between the awnings interior and the awning roof. The roof liners really make a superb visually appealing look with the added bonus of helping to reduce internal condensation. The roof liner effectively traps a pocket of air within the roof area reducing the risk of condensation – any condensation that does form is then prevented from dripping into your awnings living space. Well worth the extra cost.

A range of Kampa Breathable Groundsheets are also available with the Kampa Continental Cushioned Carpet being a favourite with www.a2zcamping.co.uk customers. Made to measure groundsheets add a touch of luxury to your outside living space – and the continental cushioned carpet feels superb under foot, giving your awning a real home from home feel.

Kampa Easy Tread Breathable Awning Carpet is also available as a hard wearing simple breathable groundsheet, again made to measure and colour coordinated to perfectly match your Kampa awning. The Kampa Easy Tread Breathable Carpet has long been a firm favourite with touring caravan owners and weekend campers alike.

All Kampa awnings can also accommodate a set of Kampa Rear Upright Poles – which help prevent draughts by holding the sponge bump pads firmly against your caravan. The Rear Upright Poles simply fit into pockets sewn into the awning and adjust down to the ground.

Kampa Storm Straps are also available which attached to the sewn on buckles located on the front corners of your Kampa Awning. The Storm Strap kit includes two straps, two resistance fittings and two heavy duty pegs; these provide additional awning stability during windy conditions.

Somewhere to hang your wet coats or towels can also be added to your awning with the Kampa Hanging Rail. Available in two options; the front to back hanging rail fits inside the front of your awning and extends to the back, secured with buckles pre-sewn to the awnings interior. The other option is a hanging rail which fits to the Kampa Awnings AccessoryTrack – an additional beading track sewn exclusively onto Kampa awnings.

The Kampa AccessoryTrack can also accommodate the Kampa Awning Organiser – providing a convenient location to keep those holiday essentials like sunglasses (or reading glasses in my case), sun cream, bug spray or just about anything that fits into the large mesh pockets.
