The Tailgate AirHub II Low is Vango’s rear-fitting drive away awning, attaching neatly to the back of your vehicle and also the side. This layout works particularly well for campervans with tailgates, creating sheltered space directly behind the vehicle for cooking, relaxing or storing equipment.
The AirBeam structure inflates from a single valve using the supplied pump, meaning you can pitch in around eight minutes. There are no poles to thread through sleeves, and deflation is just as straightforward when it’s time to move on. The structure does not rely on the tailgate being open for support, so once detached, the awning can remain freestanding on your pitch.
Constructed from Sentinel Active 150D fabric with a 4,000mm hydrostatic head, it offers reliable waterproof protection for UK touring conditions. Ventilation panels and a mesh front door encourage airflow, while Diamond Clear windows keep the living space bright. A linked-in groundsheet can be attached or removed depending on your needs.
Key Features Explained
Rear Tailgate Design
Designed to attach to the rear of your campervan, creating sheltered space behind the vehicle. The awning fits neatly using pegging straps, without requiring a kador rail.
AirBeam Structure
Inflates from a single valve using the included pump. Pre-angled beams provide increased headroom and improved stability.
Fabric – Sentinel Active 150D
Durable 150D fabric with a 4,000mm hydrostatic head rating. ColourLok Eco technology helps maintain colour for longer.
Drive-Away Capability
The connecting tunnel can be rolled away and secured when you leave the pitch. The awning remains standing while you explore for the day.
Groundsheet
The linked-in groundsheet can be attached for enclosed living space or removed for easier cleaning.
Ventilation & Access
Mesh front door and ventilation panels help reduce condensation. Flat access entry supports prams or mobility aids.

Vango AirBeam® Technology
AirBeam® replaces traditional poles with inflatable beams. Using the supplied pump, the structure inflates quickly from a single valve, creating a stable frame without the need to thread poles. Deflation is quick and straightforward when packing away.
