The Vango Balletto Air 260 Elements Shield Caravan Awning may be the smallest within its product range, but it most certainly packs a punch with its large list of high-quality features and designs. This particular model features a lightweight yet durable Elements Shield 150 Denier fabric, a reliable inflatable structure named: AirBeam® and a single point inflation system that makes pitching a breeze: S.I Pro®.
Elements Shield Fabric is used for this awning and it features a 150 Denier design with water repellent attributes. A DWR Treatment causes rainfall to bead and runoff of the awnings surface, combine this with Fully Factory Taped Seams for a watertight seal and the result is a highly reliable and durable material. The fabric has a UV Protection factor of UPF50+ and ColourLok™ Technology prevents UV light from degrading the beautiful Grey Violet colour of the Balletto. These technologies and materials provide a secure interior space that will repel plenty of rainfall, protecting your family from harsh weather conditions when touring the great outdoors.
The indoor living space is largely illuminated by the large Diamond Clear Windows which can offer excellent illumination whilst also providing good insulation during colder weather. If you wish to increase your privacy, you can simply cover the windows with the multiple Zipped Privacy Curtains, these are capable of blocking vision for passer-bys. Of course, if you have these curtains removing all the light from your interior you’ll need to fill the space with your own lighting solutions. To do this, simply attach your lanterns, light sources and other accessories to the intuitive SkyTrack® II System that runs along your beams. An included pack of 10 SkyHooks allow you to attach your items with no hassle at all.
To maintain a sturdy structure that is up to the task of protecting against environmental challenges, Vango has integrated AirBeams® into the design of the Balletto Air 260. This stupendous technology uses highly durable inflatable beams to create a strengthened structure, the beams can also be easily inflated with the included AirBeam® Manual Pump. Simply attach your pump to the S.I Pro® Inflation Point. This valve is connected to a route of air beams that are all interconnected, meaning you can pitch your awning from a lone valve in one go, rather than individually inflating each beam. This system may sound structurally flawed due to the fact that one beams damage, (such as a puncture or air leak) will now deflate your entire awning but wait! Vango thought of this, so thankfully, you can toggle individual valves to isolate the damage to one beam whilst you perform repairs, thus enabling the awning to stay standing even during a critical event.
Overall, the Vango Balletto Air 260 Elements Shield Caravan Awning is an ideal choice for smaller families that want extra room to add-onto your touring caravan. The excellent inflatable technology, highly-waterproof material and large interior space amount to a great product from Vango’s brand new range of awnings for the summer season.
