Tailgate Awnings: Comfort and Versatility for Outdoor Living
Extra Rear Shelter for Outdoor Use
Tailgate awnings provide a sheltered outdoor area at the rear of your campervan, SUV, or MPV. This extra space is ideal for setting up a kitchen, using as a changing area, or simply sitting out of the sun or rain. Unlike drive-away awnings that attach to the side, tailgate models connect directly to the rear door, giving quick and easy access from the vehicle to the sheltered area. This makes them particularly useful in poor weather, allowing you to cook or relax without being fully exposed. For touring or day trips, they offer a flexible setup that doesn’t require full pitching like larger awnings. They’re popular with campervan users who need a practical space to cook, store gear, or get changed when returning from walking or cycling. Tailgate awnings make efficient use of the space you already have, while giving added protection from the elements.
Ideal for Day Trips and Touring
Tailgate awnings are particularly well suited to day trips, overnight stays, and touring holidays. Because they’re quick to pitch and easy to pack away, they’re convenient for short stops or changing location frequently. Whether you're touring the coast, heading to the hills, or visiting friends, having a tailgate awning gives you a simple way to extend your living space on the go. You can stop at a beach, cook lunch from the back of your vehicle, or use the awning as a shaded sitting area. For families, it adds a clean and dry space for children to change after swimming or walking. For couples, it offers privacy and a windbreak when cooking or relaxing. Unlike larger awnings that require pegging out and more setup time, a tailgate awning keeps things simple and mobile - ideal for those who prefer a more flexible style of travel.
Compatible with a Range of Vehicles
Tailgate awnings are designed to work with a wide range of vehicles, including campervans, SUVs, and MPVs. Whether you drive a VW Transporter, Ford Transit Custom, Peugeot Rifter, or even a smaller SUV like the Skoda Yeti, there’s likely a tailgate awning that will fit. Most designs attach to the rear lift-up door using straps or sleeves, making them easy to secure and remove. Some are even universal fit, meaning they’ll work with different vehicle widths and heights. This makes them a great option for multi-vehicle households or anyone upgrading their vehicle in the future.
Many tailgate awnings are also designed to work with both left-hand and right-hand drive layouts, and some offer adjustable fittings to suit sloping or straight rear doors. Before buying, it’s important to check the fit guide, but overall, tailgate awnings are a flexible option for a broad range of vehicles and camper conversions.
