    We had TWO Kampa 330 explode on us after just a couple season summer only infrequent use - around 10 weeks over the year. Inner bag exploded ripping both the bag shroud and splitting the awning canvas beyond repair. Got no sense from Kampa when I explained 9 psi is too high with higher ambient temperature. (Boyles Law (?) pressure will rise in proportion to ambient temperature where volume remains constant.) Kampa tech didn't appear to understand this and were unable to advise on pressure testing and rating. I now never exceed 7 psi unless it is extremely cold ambient temperature. Only advice from Kampa was to fit their sunshade over the inflated awning to protect it from the sun!

      Yes, under inflation is really important when it's hot. 👍

    After three years debating we finally booked and stayed at Run Cottage in 2023. The good points are its level in two separate paddock areas and a shop nearby and It’s adult only which is good. Now the not so good points now. We had a hard standing serviced pitch in the furthest section and the hard surface was one of the worst I’ve encountered as it was similar to course crushed tarmac with so much black dust our caravan floor got filthy. We were disappointed with the main facilities block, we rate at 3 stars as they are very dated. A second facility block is in the furthest section and is very good and modern but doesn’t have showers in it, only basins and wc. TV reception is non existent however the owners will rent you SAT box for £2.50 a night which I reluctantly paid for. Why can’t they install TV booster like CAMC and other sites often do. Wi-Fi available and you have to pay a third party company. I refuse to pay for this as it’s too damned expensive. Again many sites these days offer free Wi-Fi as part of the package. In summary Run Cottage is ok but not great. Would I return, No not any time soon.

      Hi Andy, it was perfect in France but we have been down some narrow roads in the UK. Absolutely no height issues at all. I think that if the road is wide enough in one direction, it will use it if there isn't an alternative.

    • @cueballinacaravan
      @cueballinacaravan 11 місяців тому

      Hi there. The car isn't blocking the wind so no difference. In my update video I'm mention the the poles for the side panels make the difference in high winds as they support the front corners of the canopy. I would highly recommend getting the poles even if you don't want to use side panels.

    I use one of these and you’re right, definitely a two man job. I use a 57 mm bolster chisel I create a channel in the ground to allow the upright spikes to fit in without having to hit the fittings. The length of the channel gives lateral movement to adjust the uprights. Makes life easier if the grounds hard.

      Hi Mark. It's normal with the Dometic pumps. My pump is the same now. I have found that as soon as you get resistance, you're good to go and this prevents pumping in too much air, which is important when it's sunny weather.

    • @cueballinacaravan
      @cueballinacaravan 2 роки тому

      Hi Aidan, I honestly believe that the standard canopy is good enough as long as you can get the side panels. Having the sides give you the protection needed in the wind. Spring and Autumn can be windy so you need the extra support. If you go abroad, you need the all season as the UVA affect the fabric. 😁
