Sometimes all you need is a straightforward sun canopy. Campervan sun canopies are ideal for short stops or day trips where you want instant shade without the setup time of a full awning.
With a fast and simple setup, these lightweight canopies attach easily to your campervan, creating a sheltered space in just a few minutes. They're perfect for providing shade on sunny days or light rain cover when the weather turns.
Our range of campervan sun canopies includes everything from open-fronted shelters to sun canopies with side walls for extra weather protection.
Sun Canopies at WM Camping
A sun canopy is the quickest way to add sheltered space to your campervan setup. Unlike full awnings, which provide an enclosed living area, a canopy gives you an open space for sitting, cooking, or relaxing outside your van. They’re ideal for summer holidays, festivals, or weekend breaks when you want to keep things light and easy.
Simple and Lightweight Design
One of the biggest advantages of a sun canopy is simplicity. With fewer poles or inflatable beams than a full awning, they can be set up in minutes and packed away just as quickly. Because they take up very little storage space, they’re a good choice if you’re short on room inside your van.
Vehicle Compatibility
Most sun canopies are designed for campervans with attachment heights between 180–210cm, including VW Transporters, Ford Transit Customs, and Renault Trafics. They’re not intended for taller vehicles, but if you drive a coachbuilt motorhome, see our Motorhome Drive Away Awnings.
When to Choose a Canopy Over an Awning
A sun canopy is about enjoying the outdoors with minimal setup. If you only need a shaded area for eating, relaxing, or storing a few bits of kit, a canopy is perfect. If you need extra enclosed space for sleeping or longer stays, you might prefer a full Campervan Awning.
Inflatable and Poled Canopies
Both inflatable and poled sun canopies are available. Inflatable versions are quick to set up with a pump, while poled canopies are very lightweight and easy to carry. Either way, they’re much faster to pitch than a full awning.
Trusted Brands
At WM Camping we stock Vango and Outdoor Revolution, who both produce reliable sun canopies designed for UK touring conditions. These brands focus on making products that are easy to use while offering protection from both sun and showers. See our Vango Awnings or Outdoor Revolution Awnings for more options.
Accessories for Extra Comfort
Although sun canopies are simple, a few accessories can make them even more useful. Adding side panels gives extra shelter from the wind, while awning carpets and groundsheets improve comfort underfoot. See our full Awning Accessories range for ideas.
