However, what I would say is even if you would choose to just replace a beam when you’re on holiday with the awning up, that may not be an option. Local camping shops may not have one available. An awning repair kit should be stored in the RV alongside your other supplies and tools. It can be kept with the screwdrivers and other RV essentials that you take with you on every trip. Then the hole appears to be in the centre of the air tube. I don’t think this is a very good method to help you identify where the leak is, more on that below. Wet & Forget will clean and get eliminate Moss, Mould, Lichen and Algae on any exterior surface. Waterproofing products

The Kampa air awning poles are made up of an outer sleeve, a protective sleeve and finally, the internal bladder inner tube. The reason is, you can take out individual cross beams and leave the awning standing. To repair the main support beam, you would have to take it out once the awning had been lowered. When I write my posts, I like to reference the best information/videos on whatever subject I’m discussing. The leak was around the seal of the air valve, and I wouldn’t be surprised if this area is where most leaks occur on other air awnings. Using The Inflatable Repair Kit Therefore, in that example, its likely that repair wouldn’t last too long before that leak occurred again.

A sewing awl might be an option for tears and holes that require more heavy-duty repairs. Waxed thread will keep the sides of the hole from fraying even further. If you don’t want to sew the material yourself, there are tent shops that can sew it for a cost. I find this bizarre as this is not the method stated on the repair kits actually provided by Kampa? This 2-year warranty term appears to be pretty standard with the other air awning manufacturers, such as Vango. Therefore, any air pole which leaks within this time period should be replaced under warranty. Therefore, if you do own an air awning, I think the repair kits are a shrewd investment to take with you just in case a leak occurs.

Therefore, I’ll now discuss what I think is a better method to identify an air awning leak and how to repair a leak by Keith & Michele of Carefree Caravanning, along with some of my own additional comments. How To ‘Actually’ Repair A Leaking Air Awning Tube As noted by Keith in the video, a leaking support beam (the big long ones) is a whole different ‘kettle of fish’ to the smaller cross beams. Whether you have an RV for camping in the summer or traveling throughout the year, there will come a time when you need to know how to repair the awning. The fabric is tough and durable, but normal wear and tear can cause holes or tears in the fabric. You’ll need to learn how to repair the awning yourself to save money. A repair can often save hundreds of dollars, so you don’t have to replace the entire awning with a new one. When you’re ready to depart from camp, looking at the awning isn’t usually a priority. It’s unfortunate because a small hole or tear needs to be repaired immediately to ensure that it doesn’t widen and become a gaping hole. After every trip with your RV, you should inspect the awning to ensure that there are no holes or tears beginning.To be able to remove the bladder’s inner tube, first, the valves have to be isolated on both ends. The outer and protective sleeves can be unzipped, and the bladder’s inner tube can be removed. My Issues With Kampas Official Method On How To Identify The Leak & Using Repair Tape However, the process and repair are very similar to how you would approach a repair on pretty much any make of air awning from Vango or any other manufacturer. While air awnings have a lot of benefits, leaks at some point during the life of an air awning may happen. Stormsure Flexible Repair Adhesive can repair everything from worn material to a large hole. Repairs are waterproof, flexible and resistant to abrasion (weather and water abrasion).

Afterwards, Keither simply filled the bladder with water and observed where the water was coming out, which proved much more effective. I also hope, at some point in the future, you will consider coming to visit us here at Horton Common. 🙂 You really need to pay attention to how the conical washer split ring fits inside the collar. Conical obviously means shaped like a cone. Hence one side of the washer is narrower than the other. Keith & Michele discuss their method for identifying the leak and completing the repair, which I think is much better advice than that provided by Kampa in the official video How To Identify Which Air Tube Is Leaking

Hence, even with air awnings, you still need a good quality storm strap kit to reduce excessive movement when it gets windy. You also may be interested in my post on lights for caravan awnings. It doesn't matter what colour your awning is, as all the patches are transparent. Of course, they are also suitable to use in all temperatures. Moreover, the patches are waterproof and UV resistant, just like most of Isabella awning roofs, so you will still get the same protection as if no tear had happened! Now, something that must be noted is the inflatable repair kit in the image above only includes 2 x 75mm circular repair patches. Repairs are permanent, strong, waterproof, flexible and resistant to abrasion (weather and water abrasion). For a good repair on your awning, you’ll need extra material to create a patch for the awning. Often when a hole or tear develops, it becomes stretched, and the sides of the tear won’t meet correctly for taping. A patch can be applied to cover the hole or tear.
