Drive-away awnings are the ideal way to extend your campervan or motorhome, creating extra space for relaxing, cooking, or storing gear. These awnings attach securely to your vehicle but can be easily detached, so you can drive away and return to your pitch later.
We stock inflatable (air) and poled drive-away awnings from top brands, designed for quick pitching and a secure fit.
Choose the right height for your vehicle:
- Low (180-210cm): Fits VW Transporters and compact campervans.
- Mid (215-255cm): Ideal for larger campervans like VW Crafters, Mercedes Sprinters, and Fiat Ducatos.
- Tall (255-295cm): Suitable for motorhomes, often attaching to a wind-out awning.

Choosing the Right Drive Away Awning for Your Vehicle
Drive Away Awning Heights
Low or Lowline (180 - 210cm)
A low-height drive away awning is designed to fit campervans with an attachment height of 180-210cm. This size is ideal for VW Transporters, VW California, Ford Transit Custom, and similar compact vans.
Standard or Midline (205 - 245cm)
A mid-height drive away awning is less common but suitable for vans and high-roof campervans with an attachment height of 205-245cm. Since midline awnings fit fewer vehicle types, it’s important to check each product listing for compatibility before purchasing.
Tall or Highline (245 - 295cm)
A highline or tall drive away awning is designed for motorhomes and high-top campervans with an attachment point of up to 295cm. Many motorhomes have a wind-out rail, allowing for easier attachment at standing height before securing the awning in place.

Storm Straps
8m storm straps buckle into the awning and can be pegged down on the other side of the vehicle for added stability in windy conditions.
