Drive-away awnings are a great addition to your campervan or motorhome set-up, offering additional living or storage space for your van. These awnings feature a detachable connection, allowing you to detach the awning from your vehicle, leaving the awning freestanding at the campsite. This means you can use your van without the hassle of packing everything away. When you return, it's easy to reconnect the awning back to your vehicle using various attachment methods.

Inflatable vs. Poled Drive Away Awnings
At WM Camping, we understand that every camper has different needs, which is why we offer both inflatable drive away awnings and poled drive away awnings.
Inflatable awnings are popular for their fast setup and ease of use—just inflate the air beams and your awning is ready in minutes. They’re lightweight and compact, making them perfect for campers who want a quick and simple solution. On the other hand, poled awnings provide a more traditional setup and tend to offer a smaller pack size, which is useful when space is at a premium.
Whichever option you choose, both types of awnings are designed to give you reliable shelter and extra space during your camping adventure.

Attachment Height: Matching the height of the awning to your vehicle is crucial. Most awnings have some adjustment room, so it doesn't need to be an exact match. Many models come in various sizes to cater to different heights.
The setup process varies depending on your vehicle type:
- Rail Attachment: Some motorhomes and campervans come equipped with a rail for awning attachment. While you can secure your drive-away awning directly to this rail, it might take a bit more time to detach for driving. Using a figure-of-eight strip can make this process more convenient.
- Gutter Rail: If your vehicle has a gutter rail, a figure-of-eight strip can typically attach to it directly. Drive-away awning fixing kits contain all the necessary components for this setup.
- No Rail or Gutter: For vehicles without a rail or gutter, magnetic strips provide an alternative attachment method.
