Dometic Air Frame has revolutionised touring

The patented AIR Frame technology in Dometic inflatable awnings will transform your touring experience. Conventional steel and fibreglass awning poles are replaced with interlinked inflatable AIR Poles, enabling you to inflate the entire awning from a single external point. Not only is the AIR Frame extremely strong, it can flex in the wind too, so you’ll never break or bend a pole.

Static Caravan & Motorhome Awnings

For tourers wanting an awning designed for static use, our best-selling static awnings are easy to set-up and take-down, providing fantastic fitting to the vehicle side and first class accommodation. Utilising the unique AIR Frame system, which links individual AIR Poles together, Dometic static awnings can be conveniently inflated from a single point.
