What Is an Air Awning?
An air awning is a caravan awning held up by inflatable tubes instead of poles. People also call them inflatable awnings, blow up awnings or blow up air awnings. You attach the awning to your caravan’s rail, inflate it to the pressure the manufacturer states, then peg it out and add guy lines.
Inflatable Caravan Awnings: Full, Porch and Seasonal
Full Air Awnings
A full size air awning for a caravan gives you the most living space and suits longer stays. Our full inflatable awnings for caravans include the Camptech Kensington Air, Sunncamp Icon Air and Esteemed Air, and the Starcamp Valor Air.
Porch Air Awnings
An air porch awning gives you a sheltered entrance and storage space, and it is quicker to put up and take down. An inflatable caravan porch awning suits weekends and shorter trips. Look at the Camptech Starline range or the Sunncamp Ultima Versara Air.
All Season Air Awnings
All season air awnings are designed for long pitches and an extended season, unlike touring awnings. Our seasonal air awning is the Camptech Hampton DL Air Seasonal. Check the manufacturer’s specification before leaving any awning up in winter conditions.
Blow Up Awning for Caravan: How Pitching Works
To pitch a blow up awning, feed it into your caravan’s rail, inflate it to the pressure the manufacturer states, then peg out the corners and add guy lines. Most people find an air awning quicker than a poled awning once they have pitched it a couple of times, and porch awnings are quicker than full awnings. Check the product page to see whether a pump is included.

FAQs About Caravan Air Awnings
If you want the detail, see our pick of the best awnings and our awning size guide.
What is the best air awning for a caravan?
It depends on your caravan and how you use it. For short breaks, a porch air awning such as the Camptech Starline is quick to pitch. For longer stays, a full air awning such as the Camptech Kensington Air or Sunncamp Icon Air gives you much more space.
Are air awnings worth it?
Are air awnings any good? For most people, yes, because they are easier to pitch, especially on your own. The trade-offs are a higher price than most poled awnings and a pack that can be heavy and bulky, so check the weight before you buy.
Will an air awning fit any caravan?
No. Air awnings come in sizes, so measure your awning rail from end to end (your A-measurement), compare it with the size range on the product page, and check your rail height.
Can you leave an air awning up all year?
Only seasonal or all season models are designed for it, and conditions still matter. Check the manufacturer’s specification, and follow their advice in severe winter weather.
How long does it take to put up an air awning?
It depends on the size and whether you have help. Porch awnings are faster than full awnings, and pitching gets quicker with practice.
What happens if an air tube gets a puncture?
Most air awnings have more than one air tube, so a leak is usually limited to that tube. Some models have valves that let you isolate a damaged tube. Check the product page for what your model includes, as repair kits vary.
Are air awnings better than poled awnings?
Air awnings are easier to pitch and have no poles to match up. Poled awnings are usually cheaper. Neither is better for everyone, so choose by how often you pitch and how long you stay.
What is the difference between seasonal and touring air awnings?
Touring awnings are designed for spring to autumn trips. Seasonal awnings are designed for long pitches and longer seasons. Check the product page for which a model is.
What warranty do air awnings come with?
Camptech awnings carry 2 years in total: 12 months through CamperNation, plus 12 months if you register with the Camptech Club. Other brands vary, so check the product page.
