Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Kampa Trip Air and Sprint Air?
Both are compact inflatable awnings for solo tourers and couples. The Trip Air is the value option — fast 4-minute pitch, solid spec at £399. The Sprint Air is the premium version — factory taped seams, Diamond Clear windows, drop-down door with rain canopy, and better ventilation at £519. For regular tourers, the Sprint Air’s build quality justifies the premium.
Is the Kampa Action Air or Cross Air better?
The Action Air is the best-value spacious inflatable — 290 x 270cm at £319. The Cross Air is larger (300 x 300cm), has a higher hydrostatic head (6000mm vs standard), hot-air taped seams, and panoramic windows at £395. For weekend use, the Action Air is excellent value. For extended stays in changeable UK weather, the Cross Air’s extra weather protection is worth the difference.
What is Kampa’s TC fabric?
TC stands for Technical Canvas — a breathable cotton-polyester blend. TC awnings (Cross Air TC, Touring Air TC) breathe better than standard polyester, significantly reducing condensation inside the awning. The trade-off is slightly higher weight and price. TC is recommended for campers who stay in the awning for multiple nights or in warm, humid conditions.
Which side should I choose for the Kampa Touring Air VW — LH or RH?
LH (Left Hand) means the awning tunnel connects to the left side of your van as you stand behind it looking forward. RH (Right Hand) is the opposite. The correct choice depends on which side your sliding door is on and which side of the van you want the awning. If in doubt, measure from your van’s kador rail position.
Can I buy Kampa awnings in Cornwall?
Yes — Newquay Camping Shop stocks Kampa drive-away awnings at 4 Bamber House, Victoria, PL26 8LQ (Monday to Friday) and online with UK-wide delivery.
