The Vango Cove Air TC Low Drive Away Awning is a versatile and practical addition to your camper van setup, designed specifically for vehicles like the Volkswagen Transporter. Offering extra living space that extends beyond your van, this awning is ideal for creating a comfortable outdoor environment for dining, socializing, or simply relaxing.

Made from Vango's Sentinel Active Technical Cotton fabric, this awning is built to handle a wide range of weather conditions, making it equally suited for hot summer days or cooler climates.

With its smart design and quality materials, this awning delivers a high level of comfort and durability for long-term use.
