FLOOR PLAN
Generous dimensions maximise the liveable space of your pitchProduct Information
The Dometic Ace Air Pro Awning is a model which has been around since the introduction of Inflatable Awnings and over that time the model really hasn’t evolved a huge amount.
For the 2021 season Dometic have really made some big improvements to make it their flagship model for the new season.
The biggest change is that the Awning is now Dometic’s deepest at 325cm, making it one of the most generous awnings on the market.
A more vertical front helps to make the awning feel more spacious by allowing you to place furniture closer to the bay windows.
Oversize beams also help to increase the strength of the awning in higher winds.
The awning comes in two sizes, (400 & 500) and can now be made larger by zipping on additional extensions/canopies to either side allowing you to make the awning as big as you need.
The Ace Air now has a slightly more traditional look with a brow canopy over the front doors, this enables you to create a veranda with any of the front panels and not have to worry about the rain entering the awning.
The Ace can also fit onto a Motorhome as well as a Caravan thanks to a pre-attached Dual Kador which is ideal for a windout awning.
Each model has the ability to fit rail heights between 235-265cm (this will fit all Caravans & a large amount of Motorhomes).
A single inflation point makes it easy to pitch and several deflation valves allow all of the air to escape, making it stress free to get it back in the over-sized carry bag.
All of the front & side panels can be completely zipped out and removed which makes the awning lighter for threading onto the caravan and the introduction of a second zip means
additional mesh panels can be added to the front for those warmer summer days. A new Solar Shade/Roof Protector can be zipped onto the awning to help
with extending the life of the awning while insulating the inside at the same time.
Suitable for caravans or Motorhome with a rail height of 235 to 265cm & must have a minimum straight rail length of 410cm

Touring Awning – This awning is designed for touring use; it is not designed for static or long-term seasonal pitching as extensive exposure to UV light will cause accelerated fabric degradation.
UV Degradation
Be aware that (UV) ultraviolet rays will damage your tent if you expose it to direct sunlight for longer periods of time.
Polyester Awnings & Tents regardless of quality of denier material are made for camping use which is normally 2-5 weeks usage a year.
They are not designed for permanent usage and should only be used as camping products.
Camping near the sea or lake can further enhance the effect of UV radiation.
The same applies to poles and metal parts
"UV light will cause the fabric to fade, lose strength, and eventually disintegrate. The amount of UV damage is directly related to the fabric's exposure to the sun and the altitude at which the tent is pitched.
If it is left pitched during the day, high-altitude exposure can damage a tent beyond use within a month."
What is UV Degradation?
UV degradation refers to the breaking down of fabrics and materials, when exposed to ultraviolet radiation, due to exposure to the sun. Long term exposure to sunlight, can cause fabric such as polyester to degrade, beginning to rip, tear and become very brittle.
Why Do Manufacturers not cover UV Degradation Under Warranty?
UV degradation is a sign the product has reached a natural end to it's lifetime. There are different fabrics, different thicknesses of fabric, and treatments to help protect against exposure to sunlight.
However, given time, the sun will do it's job in breaking down those materials, to the point where they become unstable.
If a polyester tent or awning has suffered UV degradation, chances are it has been used to the point where its lifetime is ending, or it has been permanently pitched.
Polyester Tents & Awnings are a temporary shelter, and they are not designed to be left long-term pitched, unless they are specifically designed for residential pitches, and use harder wearing fabrics such as 100% cottons, which can take exposure to UV light on a longer-term basis.
Polyester Tents & Awnings have it pretty rough. Their purpose is to keep you protected from the elements, so by definition, they’re exposed to nature’s fury. Season after season, your trusty tent or tarp is subjected to wind, rain, dust, snow, hail, animals, and (sometimes) careless users.
But for a shelter that has been treated well over the years, the thing that will eventually kill it is something you might not expect: the sun.
In addition to visible light, the sun emits a massive amount of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which has a shorter wavelength than visible light and is present wherever there is sunlight.
While inorganic materials (like silicone and metal) are largely unaffected by UV radiation, organic compounds (i.e., anything containing carbon, not just your fancy kale) can be damaged by exposure to UV.
This includes all organic polymers, whether synthetic (like nylon and polyester) or naturally occurring (like cotton and wool).
