Why Use a Motorhome Awning?
A motorhome awning gives you valuable covered space that connects directly to your vehicle. It’s ideal for use as a dining area, a place to sit in the shade, or simply somewhere to keep wet gear out of your main living space. Many models can be detached and left standing while you drive away for the day, offering added flexibility while touring.
Whether you use your awning for extra living space, extra storage, or even as a sleeping area, it’s a simple way to make life on the road feel more comfortable and organised.
Which Types of Motorhome Awnings Are Available?
At WM Camping, we stock inflatable (air) and poled drive-away awnings suited to a wide range of motorhomes. Both types are available in a mix of sizes, fabrics and layouts, with models to suit low-profile, medium and taller vehicles. Inflatable awnings are particularly popular for their quick setup, while poled versions offer a more traditional structure.
We don’t stock fixed awnings – instead, our range focuses on models that give you flexibility, especially useful if you’re regularly on the move.
How Do I Attach an Awning to My Motorhome?
The method depends on your motorhome’s setup. Most drive-away awnings connect using a variety of methods, including a kador strip with a rail, throw over straps, or pole and clamp system. Each product listing includes guidance on suitable attachment methods and recommended vehicle heights.
If you’re unsure which method is best for your motorhome, feel free to contact us or visit our guide on attachment options for motorhomes and campervans.

What Should I Consider Before Buying?
The most important factor is the awning’s attachment height – this needs to match the awning rail height of your motorhome to ensure a good fit. Each product on our site lists the height range it’s designed for, so you can cross-check with your vehicle.
Also consider how you’ll use the space – for relaxing, eating, or sleeping – and choose a layout and size that suits your needs. If you're in any doubt, our team is on hand to help you choose the right awning for your setup.
