Looking to buy
After a week away with some fairly grizzly weather we've decided the time has come for a drive away awning. Our comfortz panels weren't quite up to the job of rainy day usable space with 2 young children and had to be taken down entirely when a storm hit.
I've been looking at the olpro cocoon breeze air awning which seems a good deal cheaper than some of the more well known brand names.
Just wondering if anyone has any first hand experience of this tent and whether it's up to the job. Doesn't seem to have much of a profile on here and you tube reviews are all 'influencers' paid to like the product!
Failing that we're likely to go for the kampa touring air, which is more pricey or possibly the outdoor revolution movelite T3 though that's a bit smaller. Trying to strike a balance between needing more space than the comfortz affords and going too big! But also would like to future proof for the kids getting bigger (currently 7 and 4).
Also wondering whether air tents need constant re-pumping like an air mattress!?!??
Total awning novice!

Afraid I can’t comment on the olpro but we had a Kampa air tent that was very good. When we got the van we changed to a vango air awning that we love more than the Kampa. The only flaw we have found is we have had some water pooling in the tunnnel section between van and awning during rain. The vango does seem to be better quality than the Kampa we had.
Never had to reinflate the airbeams they seem to hold up well
 
We bought a Cocoon a few weeks ago. Only used it on one trip so far - 5 nights in Cornwall about a month ago.

Very happy with it. Didn't leak when it rained, didn't need pumping up after the initial pitching and it fits easily back into the bag when packing away!

As you say, it is a fair bit cheaper than other brands and it includes two inner bedrooms.

Only downside from our perspective is that there is no actual door in the part that connects to the van, but the material is elasticated so you can still access via that route if needed.

Oh, and Halfords sometimes sell them at a good price.
 
We got one a few weeks ago, it's about 2/3 the price of the equivalent Vango .
There are quite a few 10% off codes

We are very happy with it, it goes up easily and packs away easily.

In the winds this weekend it did get blown around quite a lot. The only problem was the guy straps kept self loosening and we had to regularly tighten them up. It seems the webbing isn't quite thick enough for the plastic clips
