  • Sentinel Active 75D Fabric – Lightweight, waterproof material with a 3,000mm hydrostatic head

The Vango Arden Tailgate Awning is built for travellers who enjoy exploring without the hassle of complicated pitching. Designed specifically for low-height campervans and SUVs, this rear attachment awning pitches in around five minutes using just a single pole. That means less time setting up camp and more time enjoying the journey.

It creates a bright, sheltered area behind your vehicle that can be used as a small lounge, cooking space, or simply somewhere to store outdoor gear away from the weather. The lightweight pack size means it fits easily inside your vehicle, ready to deploy whenever you find the perfect overnight spot. With reliable waterproof fabric, flexible attachment options and thoughtful touring features, the Arden adds valuable living space without adding unnecessary bulk.

Canvas

The Vango Arden uses Sentinel Active 75D fabric, designed to keep weight and pack size down while still providing dependable weather protection. For touring travellers, this balance between durability and portability is what makes the awning so convenient.

With a 3,000mm hydrostatic head, the fabric provides reliable waterproof protection in typical UK camping conditions, keeping the interior dry during passing showers. The lightweight material also means the awning packs down compactly, making it easy to store inside a campervan or SUV without taking up valuable space.

Large Diamond Clear windows bring plenty of natural light into the awning, creating an open, airy feel while still offering protection from the elements.

Key canvas benefits include:

  • Sentinel Active 75D Fabric – Lightweight yet waterproof touring fabric

  • 3,000mm Hydrostatic Head – Protection from rain and wet weather

  • Diamond Clear Windows – Bright, open living space with good visibility

  • Toggled Privacy Curtains – Adjust privacy quickly when needed

  • Fully Rain Tested – Tested to EN ISO 5912 weather standards

Frame

Keeping the Arden quick and simple to pitch is its PowerFlex fibreglass pole structure. Using just one pole, the awning can be set up in around five minutes, making it perfect for overnight stops or quick breaks during longer journeys.

Fibreglass poles provide a strong yet lightweight frame, allowing the awning to maintain stability without adding unnecessary weight to your touring kit. The structure is supported by high-visibility guylines and durable steel pegs, helping the awning stay secure even when conditions become breezy.

The Arden also includes multiple vehicle attachment options, meaning it can be used with a wide range of campervans and SUVs without complicated modifications.

Frame highlights include:

  • Vango PowerFlex Fibreglass Poles – Strong and lightweight support

  • Quick Pitch Design – Single pole setup in around five minutes

  • Steel Pegs Included – Secure anchoring on tougher ground

  • Clear Visibility Guylines – Bright lines reduce trip hazards

  • Pegging Assistance Points – Highlighted pegging points for easier pitching

Size & Living Space

Although compact and lightweight, the Arden provides a surprisingly useful covered living area behind your vehicle. It’s perfect for creating a sheltered spot to cook, sit with a drink, or store muddy boots and outdoor gear.

The adjustable connection system allows the awning to fit vehicles with a kador height between 180cm and 210cm, while the adjustable width ensures a neat fit across many campervans and SUVs. Because it attaches to the rear, it makes excellent use of otherwise unused space around the tailgate.

The linked-in groundsheet can be attached for full coverage or removed when you want easier cleaning after a muddy weekend away.

Space features include:

  • Rear attachment design maximises vehicle space

  • Adjustable connection width for flexible fitting
