Campervan drive away awnings are a practical way to add sheltered space beside your van, giving you room to cook, relax, or store gear while you're on site. They're especially popular with VW-style vans, offering a quick way to expand your set-up. Once pitched, the awning stays in place, so you can detach from the tunnel and drive off without dismantling anything. Most of the campervan drive away awnings in this range are designed to fit vehicles with a connection height between 180cm and 210cm – often referred to as Low or Mid height awnings. If you're unsure what fits your van, our team can help you choose the right one.

What Is a Campervan Drive Away Awning?
A campervan drive away awning is a freestanding awning that attaches to the side of your camper, giving you extra space when parked up — and the freedom to disconnect and drive off without having to take the awning down. It’s ideal for longer stays or if you want a base to return to after a day out in your vehicle.
Why Choose a Drive Away Awning for Your Campervan?
Drive away awnings are a great way to make the most of your time on-site. Whether you're after extra storage, a place to sit when the weather turns, or somewhere to cook and relax, adding an awning to your campervan gives you much-needed space. They’re especially useful if you're touring and want to leave the awning standing while you head off for the day.
At WM Camping, we stock a wide range of campervan drive away awnings in different sizes and styles to suit various van heights - including options for VW Transporters, Ford Transit Customs, and other popular camper models.
What to Consider When Buying a Campervan Drive Away Awning
The most important factor is attachment height - this refers to the height from the ground to where the awning connects to your van. Most drive-away awnings are available in Low, Mid, or Tall height options, and there’s usually a bit of flexibility built in.
You’ll also want to decide between poled and inflatable models. Inflatable awnings, like those from Vango’s AirBeam range, are quick to pitch and ideal for regular touring. Traditional poled awnings offer a solid structure and often come in at a lower price point.
How Do Campervan Drive Away Awnings Attach?
Depending on your campervan setup, there are a few ways to connect your awning:
- Awning rail with kador and figure-of-8 strip
- Gutter rail using a pole and clamp kit
- Magnetic or suction fixings for vans without a rail
We stock all the drive away awning accessories you’ll need to get set up properly — and our team can help if you’re not sure which method is best for your vehicle.
