Vango Poled and Air Drive Away Awnings
Vango Drive Away Awnings come in two main models: poled and air. Each offers distinct advantages to suit different camping styles.
Fibreglass Poled Awnings
These are traditional in design, relying on sturdy fibreglass poles for structure. These awnings are perfect for those who want a lighter weight awning and smaller pack size. The setup process is straightforward, allowing for a hands-on approach that many campers appreciate.
Vango AirBeam Technology
Vango have revolutionised the drive away awning market a range of awnings that use their Vango AirBeam technology for their structure. The setup process for air awnings is remarkably quick and user-friendly—simply inflate the beams with a pump provided, and your awning is ready to go. The AirBeam design also offers greater flexibility and stability in changing weather, making it an excellent choice for campervanners and those in motorhomes.
Types of Vango Drive Away Awning Canvas
The choice of canvas is crucial for the performance and longevity of a drive away awning. Vango offers several fabric options, each with unique benefits:
- 70D Fabric with an HH Rating of 3,000MM: This lightweight material is ideal for casual campers, providing a good balance of durability and water resistance. The 70D fabric is perfect for weekend getaways or trips where weight is a concern. For example the Vango Faros Low offers additional living/storage space but has a small packsize and weighs just 9.8kg
- 150D Fabric with an HH Rating of 4,000MM: This robust fabric features ColourLok Eco technology, which enhances colour retention and ensures that your awning remains vibrant over time. The increased HH rating offers better waterproofing, making it suitable for more extended trips or unpredictable weather. An example of this is the Vango Cove III Air Low
- 420 Double Ripstop Threads with an HH Rating of 6,000MM: Made from recycled single-waste plastics, this fabric exemplifies Vango's commitment to sustainability. The 420 double ripstop threads provide exceptional durability and strength, making it perfect for those who require top performance from their equipment. Like the 150D fabric, it also benefits from ColourLok technology for enhanced colour retention.
- TC (Technical Cotton) Breathable Fabric: This innovative fabric helps to regulate temperature inside the awning, providing a comfortable environment in varying weather conditions. The breathable nature of TC fabric allows for improved airflow, reducing condensation and enhancing the overall camping experience. This is particularly helpful when camping abroad.
