For those seeking versatility, weather protection, and user-friendly features, the Santa Monica delivers an exceptional camping experience.

Durable Canvas for All-Weather Comfort

Made with premium Outtex® 3000 Select polyester, the Santa Monica awning delivers a robust defence against the elements. Its 3000 mm hydrostatic head ensures excellent water resistance, keeping you dry even during heavy rain. For sunny days, the UPF 30+ UV protection safeguards your interior from harmful rays. A sewn-in groundsheet made from double-coated waterproof polyethylene adds an extra layer of weatherproofing and comfort.

Unmatched Benefits for Comfort and Convenience

The Santa Monica awning provides a living area with plenty of natural light, thanks to large tinted windows. These windows feature toggle-up curtains for privacy when needed. The pre-shaped air tubes simplify setup and maximise headroom, creating an open, airy space.

For maximum ventilation, the front J-door is backed by a full mesh panel, allowing airflow while keeping insects out. Additionally, the vertical front wall with an integrated canopy adds practical outdoor shelter and keeps rain away from the front door.

Outwell’s HookTrack System lets you hang lights or small items weighing up to 1.5 kg, helping you keep your living space organised and cosy. Heavy-duty zips ensure durability and smooth operation for easy access and adjustments.

Flexible Attachment Options for Your Campervan

Designed to adapt to various campervans and motorhomes, the Santa Monica Drive Away Awning features a roof connection length of 250 cm and an attachment height range of 175 to 200 cm. The bead thickness options (7 mm / 5 mm) make it compatible with most vehicles.

Thanks to its Rigid Air System, setup is quick and hassle-free. You can leave the awning freestanding at your campsite while you explore, ensuring your space is ready and waiting when you return. The full-open rear allows for seamless access to your vehicle, enhancing convenience and flexibility during your trip.
