Camping accessory inflation system
The present invention provides a camping assembly 10 comprising an awning 18 which is releasably secured to a side of a caravan although in other embodiments the awning 18 may be releasably secured to the side of a tent/trailer tent/folding camper. The awning 18 comprises a canopy and a network of inflatable air poles 26. The awning 18 may be inflated by a removable pump or by an embedded pump or by air donated from a further inflatable camping structure. The awning 18 comprises a donor valve 16. The donor valve 16 is arranged to inflate a camping accessory 20, 22, 24 by donating a volume of air from the air poles 26 to the camping accessory 20, 22, 24. In this way, the camping accessory can be inflated very quickly and the removal of the air does not significantly impact the structural stability of the awning 18. This provides a readily available and accessible air source which can be advantageous when camping since power supplies for electric pumps may be erratic and limited. In addition, this also reduces the amount of apparatus and equipment which is need. This air source can be replenished as and when convenient and/or when necessary.
