Purchased a new Bailey Pursuit 430-4 and collecting on 12 March.

Need some help please as to what awning would be suitable and getting confused over choice. We would like a medium size porch awning and preferably an air awning. Did like the Kama Air Pro 390 but think it might not fit without going over a window.

is there anyone with a Bailey Pursuit 430-4 that could suggest suitable awnings. Seems a bit of a minefield to a newbie!

    My Kampa (but not an Air one)  has to go over a window.  In the 4 years of use on a Bailey Ranger there has been no marking of the window.

    Just measure the length of van available without covering a window then look at awning lengths.

    For what it's worth, we have a Kampa Rally Pro Air 330 which is over the middle of a window and doesn't cause any other problem than you can't  open that window. It hasn't rubbed the window or caused undue draughts. No problem, still works well.

    Just wondering why you want a medium porch awning? I ask because we bought the Isabella Magnum porch awning thinking it would be much easier to put up than a full awning.. Because of wanting more space after our first few trips we decided to get the Ambassador
    Seed. Because its a full awning and the sides are in the channel rather than held in place by poles as they are on the porch awning, the full awning is acually easier to put up.. Worth considering.

    Only yesterday we looked at a Kampa Fiesta Air Pro 350, which we liked the look of, was wondering if any one had any experience of it, and how it cope with uneven pitches.
