Good morning all,
I missed a very good Karsten awning on ebay earlier this year. I had just started looking and let it slip by. I have a chance of another one so as title suggests please could anyone one shed any light on these awnings.

Any information gratefully accepted it is for my Troll that should be arriving shortly fingers crossed.

Karsten were the first inflatable awning of any quality that I'm aware of. I believe they specialised in tents, some of a modular basis that you could add to as the family grew. Such was the quality I think they would at one time by back in your old tent. The quality is superb, but new they come with a price to match. This is reflected in the final fitting/tailoring service offered of your made to measure awning. They are heavy, I think 40kg would be a reasonable expectation for a Troll awning.

Thanks Colin he is going to hang onto the awning for us until we get our Troll then we can take it without paying try it on the Troll then pay if we want it. I have looked at the photo of the Karsten on here and also on the internet it does look a good bit of kit but as you say pricey the one just went on ebay £500 kicking myself but can not go backwards.

Don’t know about the awnings but we had a Karsten tent 40 years ago. It was a really good tent, went to the Scouts when we finished with it. If the awnings are as good it will be a well made piece of kit.
