Touring Awnings

Touring awnings prioritise weight and pack size. They’re ideal for regular movers but not designed to stay up long-term.

Many people choose touring awnings expecting seasonal performance — this is where disappointment usually happens.

Air Awnings

Air awnings trade poles for inflatable beams, making them quicker to pitch and easier for many users.

They still require correct inflation and anchoring — they’re not “set and forget”.

Seasonal Awnings

Seasonal awnings are heavier, more rigid, and designed for extended stays.

They’re overkill for touring — but ideal when you want a more permanent base.
