Outwell Santa Monica Air Drive Away Awning (175-200cm)

The Santa Monica Air Low is designed to extend your campervan’s living area, giving you extra room to relax, dine or store kit. Its compact footprint makes it particularly appealing for touring campers who want additional space without the bulk of a larger awning.

The vertical front wall maximises usable floor space, while the integrated canopy provides shelter above the main entrance. The spacious living area benefits from large tinted windows that allow plenty of daylight inside while maintaining privacy. Toggle-up curtains offer adjustable coverage when required.

Mode from Outwell's Outtex® 3000 Select polyester with a 3000mm hydrostatic head, the flysheet provides reliable protection from rain. The sewn-in, double-coated waterproof polyethylene groundsheet helps keep draughts and insects out. PVC-free DuraAir tubes form the Rigid Air System frame, delivering stable support and generous headroom thanks to their pre-shaped design.

When heading out for the day, simply detach the awning and leave it freestanding on your pitch. On return, it reconnects easily to your vehicle via the Link Access Zone.

Key Features

✔ Front Canopy & Door Design

The vertical front wall includes a practical canopy that provides shelter over the entrance. Double zips allow the entire front to be opened, with a full mesh panel behind it for insect-free ventilation. The J-door design makes access straightforward.

✔ Fabric

The flysheet is made from Outtex® 3000 Select polyester with PFAS-free water repellency and UPF 30+ UV protection. It offers dependable waterproof performance while helping reduce heat and glare inside.

✔ Pitching Method

The awning pitches flysheet-first using the Rigid Air System. Inflation is quick and straightforward using the supplied pump, creating a stable structure with minimal effort.

✔ Drive-Away Capability

Designed for touring, the awning can be disconnected from your campervan and left standing securely on site. This allows you to explore for the day without dismantling your setup.

✔ Groundsheet

A sewn-in, double-coated waterproof polyethylene groundsheet helps protect against damp and insects while improving overall comfort.

✔ Ventilation

Mesh behind the front door enables quick airflow adjustment. Side doors on both sides of the Link Access Zone improve access and airflow between vehicle and awning.

✔ Practical Storage & Finishing Details

The HookTrack System allows you to position lights and small accessories (up to 1.5kg). Heavy-duty Outwell zips run smoothly and securely, and the full-open rear provides easy vehicle access.

Outwell Rigid Air System

Outwell’s Rigid Air System uses interconnected inflatable DuraAir tubes to form the main structure of the awning. Inflation is completed via external valves using the supplied pump, creating a stable frame without traditional metal poles. The pre-shaped tubes improve internal headroom and usable space.
