If you want a lightweight, easy-pitch inflatable porch awning that doesn't compromise on quality or weather protection, the Outdoor Revolution Porchlite Air is one of the best options on the market. Available in three sizes — 260, 330, and 390 — it's designed for caravanners who want extra living space without the faff. At Newquay Camping Shop, 4 Bamber House, Victoria, PL26 8LQ, we stock all three. Here's everything you need to know.
What Makes the Porchlite Air Stand Out?
The Porchlite Air is built around Outdoor Revolution's Oxygen Air Frame system — Boston inflation valves and fibreglass roof spreader rods that make pitching fast and stress-free. No poles to assemble, no complicated frame — just inflate and go. And crucially, the air frame comes with a 3-year guarantee (terms apply), which is exceptional for a porch awning at this price point.
The fabric is Tensile Active Ripstop — a lightweight, all-weather material with a 4,000mm hydrostatic head rating. It's tough, quick-drying, and built to handle whatever the British weather throws at it.
All three sizes share the same core specification:
- Oxygen Air Frame with Boston valves and fibreglass roof spreader rods
- 3-year air frame guarantee
- Twin 4mm & 6mm beading — fits most caravan awning rails (standard and cassette-style)
- Tensile Active Ripstop fabric, 4,000mm HH
- Zip-back side doors — left door with mesh ventilation panel
- Zip-up front door — converts to sun canopy with optional canopy poles
- Rear corner ventilation — reduces condensation
- Tinted PVC windows with toggle-up blinds
- Rear pad sealing system with option for pad pole and suction fixings
- Adjustable guying and webbing pegging system
- Includes: manual air pump, roof stretcher pole with bracket pad, draught skirt, peg set, and carry bag
Outdoor Revolution Porchlite Air 260 — £299.00
Footprint: 240 x 260 cm | Weight: 14.3 kg | Pack size: 75 x 31 x 31 cm
The entry-level Porchlite — and at £299 with a 3-year air frame guarantee, it's outstanding value. The 260 is the ideal size for couples or those with smaller caravans who want a proper inflatable porch without spending a fortune. Everything you need is included in the box.
Best for: Couples, smaller caravans, or those new to inflatable awnings who want a reliable, well-specified entry point.
Outdoor Revolution Porchlite Air 330 — £345.00
Footprint: 240 x 330 cm | Weight: 11.6 kg | Pack size: 80 x 30 x 30 cm
The mid-size option — and notably the lightest of the three at just 11.6 kg, making it the easiest to handle and transport. The 330 gives you a generous living space suitable for a small family, while remaining very manageable for a single person to pitch. A brilliant all-rounder.
Best for: Small families or couples who want more space than the 260 without going to the full 390.
Outdoor Revolution Porchlite Air 390 — £450.00
Footprint: 240 x 390 cm | Weight: 12.8 kg | Pack size: 80 x 32 x 32 cm
The largest Porchlite — a genuinely spacious porch awning that gives families plenty of room for dining, relaxing, and storing gear. At 12.8 kg it's still very manageable, and the pack size (80 x 32 x 32 cm) is impressively compact for an awning of this size. The same 3-year air frame guarantee applies.
Best for: Families or those who spend longer on site and want maximum living space from a lightweight inflatable awning.

Frequently Asked Questions
What caravans does the Porchlite Air fit?
All three sizes use twin 4mm and 6mm beading, making them compatible with most caravan awning rails — both standard and cassette-style. If you're unsure, pop in and we can help you check compatibility.
Is the Porchlite Air waterproof?
Yes — Tensile Active Ripstop fabric with a 4,000mm hydrostatic head provides reliable protection in rain and wet weather. The draught skirt and rear pad sealing system further reduce draughts and water ingress at ground level.
How long does it take to pitch?
The Oxygen Air Frame system with Boston valves makes pitching quick and straightforward. A manual pump is included — most caravanners have the Porchlite Air up and pegged within 15–20 minutes.
What's the 3-year air frame guarantee?
Outdoor Revolution offer a 3-year guarantee on the Oxygen Air Frame system (terms and conditions apply). This covers the air beams and valves — exceptional peace of mind for an inflatable awning at this price.
Is the Porchlite Air suitable for Cornwall's campsites?
Absolutely — the 4,000mm waterproof rating, adjustable guying system, and storm-ready construction make it well-suited to Cornwall's coastal conditions. The rear corner ventilation also helps manage condensation on cooler evenings.
Where can I buy the Outdoor Revolution Porchlite Air in Cornwall?
All three sizes are available online and in store at Newquay Camping Shop — Cornwall's dedicated camping and caravanning specialists at 4 Bamber House, Victoria, PL26 8LQ, serving caravanners across Cornwall and the South West.
