What to Compare Before Buying
- Vehicle height: Check that your campervan falls within the stated 190 cm to 250 cm range.
- Rear fit: Make sure the tailgate layout works with your van and rear access setup.
- Driveaway use: Decide whether you want an awning that can remain pitched when the van is driven away.
- Groundsheet style: A sewn-in groundsheet gives a fixed floor area, which is useful if you want an enclosed space rather than a separate footprint.
- Weather protection: The awning is described with a 5000 mm hydrostatic head, so this figure is one of the main points to compare for wet weather use.
Compatibility, Size and Fit
This awning is aimed at campervans and conversions between 190 cm and 250 cm in height, including VW Transporter and Transit Custom type vans. The key check is whether the selected vehicle sits within that height range and has the rear setup needed for a tailgate awning.
Before You Decide
Confirm the van height first, then check that the rear layout suits a tailgate awning. If you want to keep the awning pitched while driving away, the driveaway format is the key feature to compare. The sewn-in groundsheet and pole construction are also important if you want a fixed sheltered space at the back of the van.
