Driveaway Awnings

Awning tents are a great way to increase your campervan’s space without sacrificing what you can take with you. By attaching an awning to the outside of your van, you can expand the living area when parked—without the hassle of permanent or technical fittings required by most wind-out awnings.

How do I attach an awning tent?

First, install an awning rail on your roofline. The rail provides a quick and easy way to attach the awning frame to your van. The awning’s tubular profile fits securely into the C-shaped channel of the rail, sealing out the elements while allowing for easy removal.

What is a driveaway awning?

A driveaway awning allows you to leave the tent standing while you use your vehicle. Instead of directly connecting the awning to the van, an intermediate strip—called a Kador or driveaway kit— is used. Simply pull out the Kador to detach the awning and drive away without packing it up.

What are inflatable awnings?

Inflatable awnings use air-filled tubes instead of traditional poles, offering a quicker, simpler setup. They are durable and flexible, with fewer parts to break. Set up by positioning the awning, securing it to the roof rail, inflating it, and pegging it to the ground.

Whether you choose a wind-out, standard, or driveaway awning, consider how often you'll use it and whether convenience and space- saving are priorities for your trips.
