If you're looking for a lightweight, affordable porch awning that's quick to pitch and packed with features, the Quest Falcon range is hard to beat. Available in both poled and inflatable versions across multiple sizes, there's a Falcon to suit every caravan and every camping style. At Newquay Camping Shop, 4 Bamber House, Victoria, PL26 8LQ, we stock the full range. Here's how they compare.
Quest Falcon — Poled vs Inflatable: Which is Right for You?
The Falcon range splits into two distinct families:
- Falcon Pro (Poled) — traditional steel and fibreglass pole frame, ultra-lightweight, smallest pack size, fastest to pitch for experienced caravanners
- Falcon Air (Inflatable) — single airbeam inflates in under a minute via the FAT (Falcon Air Technology) system, no poles to fiddle with, ideal for those who want maximum convenience
Both use Quest's lightweight, quick-drying fabric and fit caravans with an awning rail height of 235–250 cm. Both are single-person pitchable.
Quest Falcon Pro — Poled Porch Awnings
The Falcon Pro uses Quest's Tec Pro 75 fabric — 75D polyester with a 6,000mm hydrostatic head and UPF 50+ UV coating. It's one of the lightest, most packable porch awnings on the market, with a minimal quick-fit frame (one fibreglass pole, two adjustable steel legs) that one person can pitch in minutes.
Key features across the Pro range:
- Three doors (left, right, and front) with full mesh ventilation
- Crystal clear windows with roll-down blinds (half or full privacy)
- Zip and roll-up front panel — converts to sun canopy with optional canopy pole kit
- Two-way mud wall (inside or outside)
- Adjustable frame for uneven terrain
- Draft skirt included
- 12-month warranty

Quest Falcon Air — Inflatable Porch Awnings

Frequently Asked Questions
What caravan height do Quest Falcon awnings fit?
All Falcon awnings — both poled and inflatable — fit caravans with an awning rail height of 235–250 cm. Measure your caravan's awning rail height before purchasing.
Can one person pitch a Quest Falcon awning?
Yes — both the Falcon Pro and Falcon Air are designed for single-person pitching. The Pro's minimal pole system and the Air's single-beam inflation make solo setup straightforward.
Can the front panel be used as a sun canopy?
Yes — on both the Pro and Air ranges, the roll-up front panel can be converted into a sun canopy using an optional universal canopy pole kit, sold separately.
Which Quest Falcon is best for Cornwall's campsites?
Cornwall's coastal pitches can be exposed and windy. All Falcon awnings include storm straps as standard. For windier pitches, the Falcon Air 390 or Falcon 390 Poled give the most stability and shelter. The Falcon Pro 260 is ideal for tourers who move pitches frequently and want the lightest possible setup.
