getaway with your 2018-Onwards
Peugeot Partner!
The latest generation
Peugeot Partner is a highly
sophisticated, car-like vehicle that
has completely redefined what is
possible in the micro-camper and day
van scene. Packed with modern tech
and efficient layouts, it makes an
incredible basecamp for solo travelers
and adventure duos alike. However,
when you're touring in a compact
van, interior real estate fills up fast
once your sleeping setup and gear
are on board. Fitting a premium
awning is the ultimate lifestyle
upgrade, instantly creating a
spacious outdoor zone. At Vanstyle,
we stock top-tier awnings and rail
configurations designed to pair
beautifully with your vehicle's
modern profile.
An exterior awning room is
an absolute must-have space-saving
solution, immediately providing a
fully enclosed, private area for
dining, cooking, or changing without
encroaching on your cozy sleeping
space inside the Partner. Our
premium range from market leaders
like Dometic offers versatile sizing,
meaning you can easily select a
footprint that aligns perfectly with
your specific camping style. Before
pitching up, establishing a solid
anchor point is key. A dedicated
awning rail or a sleek multi-rail
mounts cleanly along your roof track,
giving you a rock-solid foundation to
either slide in a massive drive-away
tent or mount a rapid wind-out
canopy.
Drive-away awnings are
incredibly convenient, featuring an
integrated connecting tunnel section
that wraps snugly over the side
sliding loading door of your Partner.
This layout creates a fully weather-
protected walkway, keeping the
howling wind and rain out while you
move gear or supplies back and
forth. Much like a traditional ground
tent, these systems rely on high-
visibility guy ropes pegged down
firmly to keep the fabric perfectly
taut and prevent the structure from
moving during breezy coastal nights.
If you want to completely
eliminate arrival stress at the
campsite, modern air awnings are a
phenomenal alternative to old-school
pole structures. By replacing heavy,
awkward steel or fiberglass frames
with robust, inflatable air tubes,
pitching up becomes an effortless,
one-person job that takes only a few
minutes. Not only does this save
valuable weight in your Partner's
payload, but it also completely
removes the risk of a loose metal
pole slipping out of your hands and
scratching your van's pristine
paintwork during a sudden gust of
wind.
For quick day-tripping,
spontaneous road trips, or roadside
lunch stops, a fixed wind-out awning
provides unparalleled convenience.
Once fitted securely using technical
brackets on your Partner's roofline,
the compact casing sits neatly out of
the way until needed, winding out to
provide overhead shade or rain
protection in under two minutes.
Because it lives permanently on the
side of your van, there is zero risk of
turning up to the campsite and
realizing your shelter is still sitting
back in the garage at home!
FAQ:
Q: Can I fit a wind-out awning
and an awning tent at the same
time?
A: Because a compact vehicle like the
modern Peugeot Partner has a finite
amount of space along the roofline,
these two systems generally compete
for the identical mounting locations.
We advise evaluating your usual
camping habits to choose the single
style that best fits your routine.
Q: What is the
difference between an awning tent
and a drive-away awning?
A: While both give you an enclosed
living space, a drive-away awning
stands entirely on its own. You can
effortlessly unhook the connecting
tunnel from your Partner, leave the
tent pitched to lock down your spot
on the campsite, and drive away to
explore local attractions for the day
without packing down your living
area.
Q: What is a Kador?
A: A Kador strip is a tough, double-
beaded fabric strip that acts as the
vital connection link for drive-away
setups. It threads smoothly into your
van's awning rail on one side and
attaches to the awning tunnel on the
other, creating a waterproof seal.
When you want to head off-site, you
simply slide the Kador strip out to
release the van, and slide it back in
when you return to base.
