Types of Awnings

Aug 10, 2025

Awning Type

  • Seasonal – Caravan awnings designed for touring and short-term pitches, often used by fair-weather campers. They typically use lighter fabrics for easier transport and quicker pitching.

  • Residential – Made for longer stays, these awnings can remain pitched for a month or an entire season. They use heavier fabrics for greater durability and UV resistance.

  • Drive-Away Campervan Awnings – Designed to fit VW or similar vans and motorhomes with the correct attachment height. Can be left free-standing on site if you need to drive your vehicle away.

  • Fixed VW Awnings – Dependent on the van or motorhome for structure, meaning the vehicle cannot be moved once the awning is set up.
