Sunncamp Esteemed Air Full Caravan Awning

The Sunncamp Esteemed Air Awning is a full caravan awning with an inflatable frame, and it comes with a free 12V electric pump. One inflation point fills the whole frame, so it goes up quickly. It's 250cm deep, made from 300D PRO-TEK fabric, and has large crystal-clear windows with multi-zip curtains. Choose from sizes 13 to 18, for A-measurements from 950cm to 1100cm.

Why we recommend the Sunncamp Esteemed Air full touring awning

One thing to know before you buy: Sunncamp designed this as a touring awning. They don't recommend it for permanent use or for permanent-style pitches. If you want an awning that stays up for months, a seasonal poled awning will suit you better.

Not sure which size you need? Send us your caravan's make, model and year, or your A-measurement, and we'll confirm the right one. If it isn't the right fit, our Perfect Fit Promise gives you 100 days to send it back for an exchange or refund.

Sunncamp Esteemed Air awning: what you'll love about it

Quick set-up with single-point inflation

Sunncamp's Air Volution Single Inflation system fills every beam from one inflation point. That means one connection, not several. A manual pump comes in the box, and we include a free 12V electric pump too. The air tubes come pre-fitted in a heavy-duty double-layer sleeve.

Tough 300D PRO-TEK fabric

The awning is made from 300D PRO-TEK fabric, which Sunncamp says has four times the tensile strength of standard materials. It's waterproof (6000mm hydrostatic head) and flame retardant, and the roof uses a 300D enhanced roof profile fabric.

Bright inside, private when you want it

Large crystal-clear windows fill the awning with light. Multi-zip curtains on every window let you set the privacy level. Pockets on all the roof bars take Sunncamp's optional LED Lighting System, so the awning stays comfortable after dark.

Fresh air or full shelter

The removable side panels have secondary mesh for airflow. Every panel can be set veranda style or zipped out completely. Size 13 has 4 removable panels. Sizes 14 to 18 have 5. A draught skirt with ventilation panels helps keep the inside comfortable.

Built for British weather

Storm buckles and reflective webbing straps are already attached, and vertical storm pole pockets add support when the wind picks up. An external peggable mud wall (PVC mesh) gives extra protection along the base. Remember that this is a touring awning, so take it down if the forecast turns severe.

Room to grow with an Air Annexe

Need more space to sleep or store things? The optional Air Annexe (SI1000) fits on either side of the awning and includes a twilight inner tent.

What our customers say

We recently surveyed Esteemed Air owners to find out how the awning works in real life. Four owners replied, so treat this as a snapshot rather than a verdict. These are summaries of what they told us, not direct quotes.

Key points from the survey:

• Space came top. All four owners mentioned the space, size or fit. One also praised the quality and another the versatility.
• Scores were high. Three owners gave a score: 10, 9 and 9 out of 10. The fourth described it as really good.
• Use is occasional. The owners who told us how often they pitch it use it from once so far to a few times a year, which suits a touring awning.

What to know before you buy:

• Carpet fit. One owner found the footprint larger than many awnings and needed a matching carpet, bought separately, to get a proper fit.
• Caravan door. One owner found the caravan door catches one of the roof beams when opened fully, so they push the beam up out of the way. They put this down to where the door sits on their caravan, not a fault with the awning.
• Fly nets. One owner would like fly nets on the windows and doors.
• Runner. One owner found the runner hard to slide into the caravan track, but thinks it may have been down to their own technique.
• Roof shape. One owner noticed the roof dips slightly in the middle.

Which Sunncamp Esteemed Air size is right for you?

A good fit means a snug awning with no gaps along the side of your caravan. Sizes are matched to your A-measurement, and the awning suits caravans with an awning rail height of 235-250cm. Not sure how to measure? Send us your caravan's make, model and year, or your A-measurement, and we'll confirm the size. If your A-measurement falls outside 950-1100cm, message us and we'll point you to a better fit. Stock changes, so if your size shows as sold out, call us and we'll check what's on the way.

Specifications

Sunncamp Esteemed Air vs Icon Air

Both are Sunncamp's full inflatable caravan awnings, and they share a lot. Depth is the biggest difference.

Our verdict: choose the Esteemed Air if 250cm gives you enough room, and the Icon Air if you want the most space Sunncamp offers in an air awning.

Sunncamp Esteemed Air awning instructions

Full fitting instructions come in the box with every awning. Because the frame inflates, there is no main pole frame to put together, and you can inflate it with either the free 12V electric pump or the manual pump. A second person still makes any full awning easier to handle, especially on the larger sizes. If you'd like to talk through how it goes up before you buy, call us on 020 8064 2643.

Every CamperNation order includes free UK delivery, 100-day returns and our Perfect Fit Promise.

Sunncamp Esteemed Air awning FAQs

How deep is the Sunncamp Esteemed Air awning?

It's 250cm deep. That's 75cm less than the 325cm Sunncamp Icon Air.

What size Sunncamp Esteemed Air awning do I need?

It depends on your caravan's A-measurement. The Esteemed Air comes in sizes 13 to 18, covering 950cm to 1100cm. Send us your measurement and we'll recommend the right size. If it doesn't fit, our Perfect Fit Promise has you covered.

Prices start from £1,240 for size 13 and rise to £1,400 for size 18. Every order includes a free 12V electric pump, free UK delivery and 100-day returns. The size selector on this page always shows today's price.

Are Sunncamp awnings any good?

Sunncamp has made awnings for over 35 years. The Esteemed Air uses its 300D PRO-TEK fabric and Air Volution single inflation frame. The owners we asked scored it 9 or 10 out of 10 where they gave a number, and all of them picked the space as their favourite thing. Their suggestions were practical ones: a carpet made to fit, a check on door clearance, and fly nets on the windows and doors.

What are the common problems with air awnings?

Air awnings can be heavy to lift, so a second pair of hands helps on the larger sizes. The frame relies on air pressure, so check the beams after pitching and again if the weather changes a lot, and look after the tubes and valve when you pack away. Pegging and guying matter in wind. Most air awnings are also built for touring rather than permanent pitches, and the Esteemed Air is no exception. Ask us about spares before you buy.

Is the Esteemed Air the best air awning to buy?

It depends on what you need. The Esteemed Air suits touring caravanners who want a full awning that goes up quickly at 250cm deep. If you want more space, look at the 325cm Icon Air. If you want an awning that stays up for months, an air awning is the wrong choice, and a seasonal poled awning will suit you better.

Can I leave the Esteemed Air up all season?

No. Sunncamp designed it as a full touring awning and doesn't recommend it for permanent use. They also advise against siting it on permanent-style pitches, because contact and friction can damage the base materials. For a seasonal pitch, choose a seasonal poled awning instead.

How do I get airflow without losing shelter?

Every panel can be set veranda style or zipped out completely, and the side panels have secondary mesh for airflow. The draught skirt has ventilation panels too. Open the panels up in warm weather and close them when it turns. One owner would like fly nets on the windows and doors, so bear that in mind if insects are a worry on your pitch.

How does it compare with the Sunncamp Swift Air awnings?

The Swift Air range are porch awnings, which cover the door end of your caravan. The Esteemed Air is a full awning that covers the full length of your caravan's A-measurement, from 950cm to 1100cm.

Does it come with a carpet?

No. The luxury awning carpet is an optional extra, and so is the wheel arch cover. The Esteemed Air has a larger footprint than many awnings, so choose a carpet made to fit it. Ask us if you'd like one added to your order.

Can I add extra sleeping space?

Yes. The optional Air Annexe (SI1000) fits on either side of the awning and includes a twilight inner tent.

Does it come with everything I need?

Yes, everything in the list above is included, with a free 12V electric pump as well as the manual pump. The carpet, wheel arch cover, LED lighting system and veranda pole are optional extras, so ask us what's available.

What caravan heights does it fit?

The Esteemed Air fits awning rail heights of 235-250cm. If you're close to either end of that range, message us and we'll check. It's also worth checking where your caravan door sits, as one owner found the door catches a roof beam when opened fully.

Does the Esteemed Air have a warranty?

Yes. Every new Esteemed Air comes with a 12-month warranty. Call us on 020 8064 2643 if you need to make a claim.
