The Olpro View inflatable caravan porch awning collection is for touring caravanners whose awning rail sits between 235cm and 250cm high and who want a light living space with room to stand. It is available in two sizes, the 300 and the 420, and both include a porch extension which zips onto either side of the awning, offering wet boots and kit a spot of their own before they reach the primary space.
The 300 is 300cm long, or 440cm with the porch installed, and the 420 is 420cm long, or 560cm with the porch. Both are 240cm wide with standing room, and neither has a sewn-in groundsheet or a bedroom section. Curtained windows and tinted skylights light the inside, with six windows and two skylights on the 300 and seven windows and three skylights on the 420. A u-shaped zip rolls the front panel open, so the awning becomes a veranda on dry days.
Strengthened TPU air beams hold the View up, with inflatable roof storm bars across the top. The manual pump is provided, there are no poles to thread, and Olpro states a pitching time of about 10 minutes. The fabric is OLTECH REPRO 150D, a 150D Oxford polyester made of repurposed disposable plastic bottles, with a 5,000mm hydrostatic head which Olpro characterises as holding back the pressure of 5 metres of water. The beading is 6mm, the listed weight is 29kg for both sizes, and each packs down to 87cm x 45cm x 45cm.
Select the 420 for family breaks where you want a table, chairs and wet-weather stowage under cover, and the 300 for a couple or a smaller caravan. Olpro makes the View for touring from pitch to pitch instead of for seasonal pitches, and its Product Lifetime Warranty applies as soon as the awning is registered with Olpro inside 30 days of buying.
