Are you new to caravanning or looking to upgrade your current caravan awning set-up? Inflatable caravan awnings are air-filled tubes that create the structure of your awning in exchange for the traditional poled structure.

Read on to discover more about inflatable awnings in this simple guide, which includes some of our top inflatable caravan awnings featured at the bottom of this blog.

 

What are inflatable caravan awnings?

Kampa launched inflatable awnings in 2013 as the latest caravanning trend. At the time, Inflatable tents were just gaining popularity across the camping market, so it was a natural progression into inflatable caravan awnings.

Quick and easy to erect, caravan awnings quickly became a popular product within the caravanning community. Other brands followed suit and created their own versions of Inflatable awnings.

Think of the Air beam as a bike tyre. The inner bladder expands when air is pumped in, and the surrounding case holds the air tube shape.

This is then covered with a zipped fabric cover to protect and maintain the structure of the beam. Unlike bike tyres, there is a lot less pressure applied to the airbeam, so your caravan awning remains intact and in perfect shape for your caravan trip.

 

What are the advantages of Inflatable Caravan Awnings?

One of the main advantages of the inflatable caravan awning is convenience. You can quickly set up and pack away your caravanning trip, allowing more time to enjoy yourself with friends and family.

Typically, much lighter, inflatable caravan awnings are designed for adventures and changed how caravan holidays were perceived.

Relying solely on air structure means your inflatable caravan awning is lightweight, easy to erect, and a lot less trouble than its poled counterpart. You no longer need to worry about poles; all you need is a good pump, and away you go!

Structured with robust fabric, air-pumped beams allow for more space in your caravan awning and extend the living diameters. This can be used for entertaining, eating, cooking, and even sleeping, with some caravan awnings providing extra sleeping pods!

 

Are Inflatable Caravan Awnings Reliable?

Inflatable caravan awning beams perform well in windy conditions and will never snap as fiberglass poles do. We recommend always having a replacement air beam for your model of awning packed for every caravanning trip.

Although not common, airbeams can burst in hot temperatures, so try to position your inflatable caravan awning in shady areas on the caravan site and, if not possible, check your airbeams daily for pressure.

Different makes and models of caravan awnings will have varying recommended pressures for beams. Check this before you purchase an air awning, as an overinflated air beam will cause more damage than good!

The all-in-one design makes inflatable caravan awnings perfect for the caravan site. You no longer need to worry about which part fits where and which pole is for which section. Spend less time worrying about your set-up and more time enjoying your holiday with inflatable caravan awnings!
