The Vango Tailgate AirHub II Low is a rear-attachment inflatable awning designed for campervans with a tailgate. It’s well suited to couples and solo travellers who want quick shelter for short stays, road trips and active weekends. Fast to pitch and compact to pack away, it adds covered living space without a complicated setup.
  • Single-point AirBeam® inflation for quick setup
  • Lightweight 150D Sentinel Active fabric with 4,000mm HH waterproofing
  • Large panoramic windows – bright interior with clear views.
  • Roll-away tunnel lets you drive off without taking it down
  • Designed to fit - Cars, SUVs and Campervans

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.
