hello welcome back to here we tow today I've got the deluxe Infinity air awning
from 2019 from Prima Leisure as you can see it's fitted to the Phoenix that
we've got on loan at this moment in time and we're currently at Longleat
the caravan and motorhome club site it's actually Christmas Day we've put it
through its paces it's been winter we've had a few storms how's it fared up well
stick with us stay tuned and watch after this
so I'm sure you've seen several times the air awnings being put up so the Prima
Leisure one is very similar to the Vango in the respect of I'd peg it out to
the to the caravan first then it inflate it then I'd peg out round the sides to
be able to stabilise it as you can see here I'll just show you we've got the
storm straps the straps that come included with the with the kit they're
all pegged out to give it a bit of stability and also to help it to stay on
the ground what I do like is it similar to the Vango on the corners on these
outer edges they've actually got adjustable straps
so you can peg them in and then tension it up so you can actually get it a
little bit tighter towards the ground we've got these skirts which come out
which also keep rain out of the the awning when it's fully put up and also a
very a nice other feature of these flaps at the top that stop the rain from
coming down at the side of the awning and also just help with the stabilising
against the caravan when it's in the awning channel as you can see here I've
not strapped it down I have at the back which gives tension on the awning
channel what that tension does is it stops the awning from moving down the
van when the weather is particularly bad as you can see here I have twisted the
awning straps as well to stop that that rattle from the wind noise but what I've
done there is I've put it on the back and it just keeps it in place nicely so
it doesn't move along the caravan obscuring either
door on the windows because these are a good size for being able to to be able
to bridge the doors and the windows to be fair there they're made very well
for the Bailey but they'll fit most of the caravans so what comes in the box
are these carbon fiber rigid poles gives a nice tight seal against the edge of
the caravan and just stops the wind from being able to creep in between the
caravan and the awning which also helps to stabilise the awning itself because no
winds getting under it or down the side of it you also get a PVC footprint which
is basically almost like a ground sheet lining that will keep the awning nice
and clean and dry you get the caravan draft skirt which as you can see here
runs the length of the caravan and again this stops the wind from coming
underneath and being able to get a hold of the awning when the weather is
particularly bad as you can see in the corners here I have actually had to peg
it down in order to stop the wind from just getting under because like I said
we have been here during winter and there has been some storms so because of
that we've had to really peg it down well it has held up fairly well in the
bad weather it is all season awning so therefore it can be used any time of
the year but as you can see it's it's fared really well
I've very pegged it a couple of times but that has been down to the weather
you also get the pump and the pegs so you get these you get just normal pegs
with it I've actually upgraded and gone for these rock pegs because I find them
a lot better on hard standings for the awnings and what you do get as well with
the rock pegs you get these little elasticated
extenders which I found that I've needed the one thing that have struggled with
with this awning is being able to get it flush with the bottom of the caravan
right next to the caravan I'm not sure if it's something I've done but as you
can see there doesn't actually touch the floor when it's right up close next to
the caravan so I've had to use the extenders to be able to get it down
which I feel if they'd have put the adjustable straps against the caravan
side as well that would alleviate that problem and I could have used that to
then tie tension and tighten up the side where
the awning meets the caravan underneath and giving it a bit of a nicer and
tighter feel the plus sides that I like as you can see here we've opened up the
skylights if you like the higher up PVC panels that allow you to be able to get
some Sun lighting on a nice day obviously the days not the days aren't
nice here at the moment so it is what it is but I have opened them to show you
exactly how how they look and also these large doors now these are fantastic
there are large windows however you can also unzip these and use these as doors
so that each one of these will actually unzip as a full door which gives you a
little bit of versatility in respect of these end doors because as an optional
extra you can get a sleep in annex which will obviously drastically increase the
size of your awning but will also zip into these either side outer panels so
either at the front or the back of the caravan you can extend it so that you've
got a little bit more space for people to be able to sleep or even a bit more
storage if you've brought a few bits and pieces
away or you're away for a little longer you can also get as an optional
extra a cotton roof liner the cotton roof liner what I think will clip in to
these little fastenings where they're illuminated with these little black
o-rings on each of these beams I feel that that will be where the the the roof
liner will attach that will give you a little bit more shade but it will also
soften and probably keep a little bit of the condensation out during the winter
but it just gives you a little bit more shade a little bit softer light in the
awning as as you using it this awning again I'll show you outside
it is the single point inflation awning which I have found really simple to use
it took took a lot of pumping up I've got to be I've got to be honest
but that's because I left one of the one of them unfastened so that was my fault
so any one of these are where you can pump up
and because it's a single point inflation obviously once you've finished
just unscrew those take them off and that will let down the whole awning I
think for 2019 it's got a good look about it I like the colors goes well
with the caravan very well held down and obviously the Prima logo these air vents
condensation buildup so as you can see there they have got a mesh
on the inside and on the outside there is a rain cover to stop any driven rain
coming in to the awning one of the other things to note here
is you do have pads these are pads so that the air beams when they're pushed
up against your Caravan they don't make any marks and obviously cushions the
awning up against the caravan as you can see here this is the pipe work for the
single point inflation so you can isolate any part of these air beams
should you actually get a puncture heaven forbid
at any point during you stay whilst you're away and hopefully then be able
to isolate the puncture and to be able to fix the broken part as with most
awnings nowadays they do have a fly mesh so you can have the door open with air
coming through when the weather is a little bit warmer keep the bugs and the
flies out but to get that that flow of air through the awning it has a curtain
here again for a window which can be pegged back so that gives you a little
bit more light so in theory you could on this 390 have five panels on the doors
on the side with windows and then you've got the upper skylights as well which
are an additional three with the 390 we got provided with there are six
individual brace bars all these again are inflated to the pressures that are
shown on the pump that's provided and these have worked really quite well
again another little bit of a niggle but these are flat so as you can see there
the bar does come round the seal is very very good but it just it doesn't sit
with it properly so I've just just a little bit unsure as
how long that will last without wearing obviously if you using it a fair bit the
wear and tear factor of it as you can see here again on these on these bars
they are zip lined so should you get a problem you can unzip them take them out
and then fix the offending part but that holds the bracer beams in place for when
you're actually inflating the awning from the single point and I've got to
say I don't normally do this I don't mention prices but since this is a 2019
brochure it should be good for the next year so what I'm gonna say
is the Deluxe Infinity 260 which is the smaller awning to this that's
currently retailing seven hundred and forty nine pounds 99 this one the Deluxe
Infinity 390 is currently retailing at eight hundred and forty nine pound
ninety nine so a penny short of eight hundred and fifty pounds the Deluxe
Infinity 420 the next size up that's nine hundred and forty nine pounds
ninety-nine pence and to add to it if you're wanting to add an annex
then the sleep in annex for the air awning is one hundred and forty nine pound 99p
so that gives you a little bit of an idea what the price's are I've got to
say I've got to add the caveat that is at this moment in time and I'm recording
this if you're watching this a long time in the future then obviously the prices
will have changed so that's currently what they're at as of Christmas Day
December 2018 so hopefully that gives you an idea what the price will be like
and as you can see here we've opted for the Bailey wheel arch cover that is a
really good idea so neat so tidy keeps the air out from obviously blowing
underneath the caravan and coming through and into the awning normally
you'd have to make those yourself with most other makes and manufactures
Bailey they've included this and they've got this as an option
obviously it doesn't come with this awning but I just think it's a really
good idea even if you don't get it with the awning it just gives a nice little
bit of security adds and covers any wheel locks wheel clamps or any security
that you've got potentially on your Caravan just stops people looking at
those unwanted eyes looking at exactly what security you have so it can act as
a little bit of a security feature as well but also you can peg these out so
if it runs independent of the awning then this can be pegged out and it can
hold itself down under its own steam without the awning
so in summary that's what I found in relation to the Deluxe Infinity 390 Prima
Leisure air awning for 2019 overall I think it's quite a good awning I would
say it's a little bit overpriced if you could get it for a couple of hundred
pounds cheaper than what it's actually advertised at and I think it would be an
absolute bargain but in its own right I think it's a cracking awning that'll
serve you well in the future feels nice and thick and the construction itself is
pretty good so they're definitely getting there a little bit longer and
they'll have it nailed thanks very much for watching have a look in the
description below of any details that you want to see and hopefully we'll
catch you in the next one so thank you very much for watching see you later
