Drive away awnings for campervans are one of the most popular ways to add extra living or sleeping space while keeping the freedom to detach and explore. These awnings attach to the side of your vehicle but can remain standing when you drive away from the pitch, leaving your awning ready for when you return.
At WM Camping we stock a wide range of campervan drive away awnings from trusted brands including Vango, Outdoor Revolution, Outwell and Holawild. Our range includes both inflatable drive away awnings and traditional poled models designed to fit many campervans, including popular vehicles such as VW Transporters and Ford Transit Customs.
Whether you’re looking for a compact awning for weekend trips or a larger campervan drive away awning for longer holidays, these awnings provide a great place for relaxing, cooking or storing camping equipment at the campsite.

Drive away awnings are designed to connect to a campervan while providing additional sheltered space beside your vehicle. Once pitched, the awning can remain standing when you drive away, allowing you to keep your spot on the campsite. When you return, the awning can be reattached to the campervan.
Many campervan owners prefer drive away awnings for campervans because they create a flexible living space while keeping the vehicle free for day trips and exploring the surrounding areas.

Many modern campervan awnings use inflatable air beams instead of traditional poles. These drive away air awnings are quick to pitch and offer a stable structure once inflated.

Choosing the Right Drive Away Awning for Your Campervan
