The Vango Cove Low Poled Drive Away Awning is a compact touring awning designed for couples and young families who want extra living space on short breaks. Its front-facing layout keeps you aligned with your campervan, offering added privacy while making the most of your pitch. Lightweight materials and a simple pole structure make it easy to carry and quick to set up.
  • Pitching time: approx. 10 minutes
  • Sentinel Active 75D fabric (3,000mm hydrostatic head)
  • Easy Set Up for campervans
  • Pre-attached front canopy
  • Low height fit: 180–210cm attachment

The Cove Low is designed to extend the usable space of your campervan without taking up valuable room in storage. Its compact footprint makes it well suited to weekend trips, festivals and touring holidays, while still providing enough living space for relaxing, dining or storing kit out of the way.

The front-facing design means the awning runs parallel with your vehicle rather than sticking out from the side. This keeps your pitch tidy and ensures you’re always facing the same direction as your van, giving you a clearer view and extra privacy from neighbouring pitches. A pre-attached front canopy provides sheltered space at the entrance, useful in mixed weather.

Made from Vango's Sentinel Active 75D fabric, the Cove balances weight and durability. With a 3,000mm hydrostatic head rating and full rain testing to EN ISO 5912, it’s suitable for typical UK touring conditions. The addition of extra ventilation panels for 2026 improves airflow, while Diamond Clear windows brighten the living area.

There’s also the option to clip in a compatible bedroom (2-person) if guests are staying over. When heading out for the day, simply detach the tunnel using a Drive Away Kit and leave the awning freestanding on your pitch.

Key Features Explained

Pre-Attached Front Canopy

The integrated canopy provides sheltered space at the entrance. It offers protection from light rain and sun, making it a comfortable area for sitting or removing muddy footwear.

Fabric – Sentinel Active 75D

A lightweight 75D fabric with a 3,000mm hydrostatic head. It packs down small while remaining waterproof and reliable for touring use.

Pitching Method

The awning uses Vango PowerFlex fibreglass poles to create a stable structure. Colour-coded pegging points and bright guylines help simplify setup.

Drive-Away Capability

With the addition of a Drive Away Kit, you can detach the connecting tunnel and roll it back, leaving the awning standing while you take your vehicle out. Reattachment is straightforward when you return.

Groundsheet

The sewn-in groundsheet is attached to the flysheet and protected by an external storm skirt. This helps reduce draughts, insects and water ingress.

Ventilation

Multiple ventilation panels, including a mesh front door, promote airflow. Privacy curtains can be toggled open or closed as required.

Stability Systems

The TBSII Tension Band System provides added rigidity in strong winds by bracing the pole structure at three points.
