The Kampa Pop-Air Pro 340 should be perfect for your low height pre 2010 van. It is only higher post 2010 vans that it may be problematic on. The genuine Kampa groundsheet for this awning is also worth buying. It is very good.
The Inflatable Twin Air sold by AL is also a consideration. I do not know how good it is, but it is a lot more expensive and somehow does not look correct.
If you can wait until 2019 then Vango will possibly have something available. I was told this may be ready for preview at the Oct 2018 show.

Thanks Colin. That's very helpful. I don't think we'll wait until next year though - maybe we'll have a look at AL at the spring meet.

Thanks for the responses. We bought Shadow sun canopy in the end, as we thought it better suited our current uses.

Our 1 year old Kampa Pop Air Pro 365 developed a leak, well 3 actually, at the end of July and we've been trying to get it replaced/repaired or a refund since then. We've been dealing with the retailer-Adventure Leisure Vehicles but they keep prevaricating. How did you manage to get a refund from Kampa?

We dealt with AL and they did all the leg work.

Thanks for the prompt response. I presume that was Automotive Leisure in Poole - we're dealing with Adventure Leisure Vehicles at Tebay.

We've finally received a full refund from Adventure Leisure. They had sent the awning back to Kampa for repair but when it came back it still leaked even tough Kampa said they had tested it. We're now looking for a new awning but won't be considering anything from Kampa.

Cath and David,
we are know on plans B and C. Next year when we travel through France for 6 weeks plan B is the Isabella shadow for when it's sunny and the Sunncamp Swift for when it's wet. Each weigh about 5kg and are quick to put up and take down
Plan C is for other occasions when we plan a longer stay [2 or 3 weeks] on site and is the excellent Fortex Aronde. At 5.2 x 3.0m for our Triton it is huge and at 38kg a beast but wonderful. You could go for a Unico Verona? instead which is similar in design.
In both situations we also have a Fiamma Caravanstore on the opposite side of the van. This allows us to pack/unpack if it's raining, gives wet weather protection for bikes, clothes drier and satellite dish or keeps the heat off the side of the van when temperatures get high in summertime France.

Plan D will come into effect when an inflatable air awning that actually does the job and looks good is available. The AL job https://www.automotiveleisure.co.uk/prod...win-air-awning/ may work fine but I cannot live with the looks because I'm a fussy sod.
