Stormsure Caravan & Awning Repair Kit In Box

Product Information

Now, something that must be noted is the inflatable repair kit in the image above only includes 2 x 75mm circular repair patches. 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!

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 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. 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. 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. I’ve included Kampa’s video on how to repair an air awning. However, I do have issues with it, which I’ll discuss. Kampa Repair Solution will adhere to almost any surface for fast, strong and extremely durable repairs to thousands of items. Ideal for sealing and repairing holes and rips in tents, awnings and other inflatable products.

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 have a damaged awning, depending on the extent of the damage, you really have three different options open to you – you can buy a new one, have it repaired by a professional company or try and carry out the repairs yourself. After you have used the kit, it does take 2-4 hours to properly cure. Furthermore, Kampa recommends 6-8 hours before the repaired tube is inflated again.It was interesting to see that it wasn’t the beam that either Keith or Michele suspected of leaking. Maybe you want more windows or larger windows, all this is possible to give us a call and let's discuss what is possible. However, too much movement could be something which ultimately leads to a leaking air pipe or even a rip/tear. 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. While I do have issues which I’ll discuss with the official video above from Kampa, on how to repair a leak. I do think the diagrams at the start of the video are very useful.

Cleaning products 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

However, you may want to take a repair kit shown below with you on holiday in case a leak does happen. That way, you can repair the leak. 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).

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. 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. Includes 1 x 500mm reel of repair tape and 2 x 75mm diameter repair tape patches, 2 x 5g of repair solution, spreader/spatula and a sachet of alcohol wipe 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. This is where the official video from Kampa on how to repair an air tube starts to falter. First, the video presumes you have been able to identify which tube is actually leaking.Therefore, in that example, its likely that repair wouldn’t last too long before that leak occurred again. So the video below, filmed by Keith & Michele, is of them repairing a leak on their Kampa Rally Air Pro 390. 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. 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.
