Outwell Newburg 240 Air

Our Opinion:-

The Newburg 240 Air is based on the Scenic Road of last year. The Newburg 240 Air features multi-inflation Air beams, you inflate each tube separately. This is our preferred system as there is less plumbing involved so less to go wrong. It there is a puncture in a tube, it is just that tube that deflates and it is easier to trace the puncture. It is nice to also see Outwell making a range of replacement tubes, and like we advise with any poled tent or awning if is a wise precaution to buy and keep a spare tube.

The design features a vertical front door with a nice sized extended canopy, making it ideal for the British climate as the front door has protection from the rain and Sun. There is nothing worst than having to mop up the water from your sewn-in groundsheet every time to open the front door. Why so many manufacturers insist on sloping  awning sides with doors and not providing at least one rain safe door. The Outwell Newburg 240 Air feature Outwells Outtex 4000 polyester flysheet, compared to the Outtex 6000 Pro used in the New Outwell Parkville 240SA, which Outwell have also introduced this year which has a similar with a slightly better spec. but costs over £250.00 more at RRP. This slightly lower spec fabric although making no difference to how weathertight the awning is does give the advantage of a smaller pack size, which can be important in a smaller Campervan.

Full mesh windows to the front door to give good ventilation and keep bugs at bay, Tinted Windows, to reduce UV, heat & Glare and a sewn-in groundsheet.Outwell awnings also feature their Link Access System which provides a groundsheet for the tunnel section of the awning with a valance to close the gap under the vehicle and help keep out draughts.

We would always stress that the Tunnel section of a driveaway awning is only ever a sheltered entrance and will never be draught free. Remember that unlike a caravan awning, driveaway awnings have front and back doors that can be zipped up and this is the weatherproof section of the awning.

 Drive-away tent awning for motorhomes, vans and MPVs with attachment height of 175 cm-200 cm. 

What the manufacturer says:-

Adjusting them to suit your needs and weather conditions enables flexible fresh air flow.
