About this deal

The vehicle is temporarily attached to the awning via the non-rigid, tunnel part of the awning which joins the two together. The tunnel can be attached and detached from the vehicle in various ways depending on the make and model of the awning. If you’re looking for a good quality, medium-sized awning that’s pretty straightforward to erect, then the inflatable Lichfield California may be for you. It would be easy for me to only recommend well-known brands of drive away awnings, but these can come at a price and not everyone can afford or justify the outlay. So, let’s consider another scenario: say you just need a spacious awning for occasional use, one that has a built in two berth sleeping tent, and is under two hundred quid. What are your choices then? Two doors give access to the awning: one at the side and one large door at the front. The main front entrance door can be elevated horizontally to create a sun canopy which is held in position using two steel poles (which are included). What’s else is included: Looking for a small drive away awning that won’t break the bank? Then look no further. The Outdoor Revolution Outhouse Handi measures just 2 metres square, but that extra 2 metres of useable space will come in very Handi! Ideal for cooking, extra storage, housing a toilet, or just a place to relax in.

If your vehicle is fitted with a wind-out awning, then there’s a good chance the awning will already have an awning channel incorporated. The channel will usually be 4mm wide on wind-out awnings made by FIamma, Thule, or Omnistor. Confirming my suspicions, the Vango Drive-Away Awning Bedroom clips straight in to all the fixing points and is a great additional extra. Attaching the awning to the vehicle is simply a case of passing the joining flap and guy ropes over the roof of the vehicle, then using the supplied suction pads to attach the ropes to the side of the vehicle. Alternatively, the ropes can be pegged to the ground. Note: The height of the awning is 205cm, so the awning is not going to be suitable for high top vehicles. This makes it simple to erect. To do so, you first inflate the two main integral tubes (one at each end), then the removable centre tube which fits between the two main tubes. Finally, the awning is pegged down and the guy ropes tensioned. After you’ve done this a few times and are familiar with the process, the awning can take as little as 10 minutes to erect. There are four ways to attach the California awning to the vehicle: Tip: Use domed top groundsheet pegs rather than conventional awning pegs to avoid damaging the tyres if the pegs are accidently driven over.Attaching the awning to the vehicle can be done by utilising the built-in awning rail piping. It can also be attached using a magnetic or suction drive away awning kit. If your vehicle is fitted with a wind-out awning with an integral awning rail channel, then this too can be used in conjunction with a suitable drive away awning kit. The front of the awning can be elevated horizontally to create a sun canopy, however, the poles needed to do this are not included (they are an optional extra). There’s a PVC window on either side of the awning and a number of meshed ventilation vents which are handy for keeping cool without letting in flies. One more neat little feature is a mains cable access point. Never heard of Shandika? Me neither. Shandika awnings and tents are made in China. The quality of their products are in the budget range of awnings, however, you do get quite a lot of awning for your money. The Shandika Aarhus awning is made from PU coated polyester with sealed seams and fibreglass poles. A two-person breathable and removable sleeping pod with sewn-in groundsheet and mosquito mesh is included, as is a groundsheet which covers the main living area. Well, one drive away awning to consider, would be the Shandika Aarhus freestanding awning. Being a freestanding awning means that the Shandika Aarhus doesn’t need a vehicle to connect to, so it can also be used as a tent.

Constructed from flame retardant lightweight fabric and fibreglass poles, the Handi is easy to erect and store and is incredibly light at just under 5Kg. We’ve been using the Quechua Base Seconds XL as an awning for a number of years and were happy with the large living space it provided. Recently, we’ve started struggling with the kids sleeping in the popup roof of the campervan due to them getting larger! so we decided to look around for an air awning with the ability to add an inner bedroom.An access door to the side is another useful feature if you don’t want to use the main opening at the front. The Cayman has integral ventilation points which help with airflow and condensation build up. What’s included: We are very impressed with the quality and attention to detail of the Lichfield California Drive-Away Air Awning. The groundsheet clips in to all the provided hooks and stays in place, there is a fly net on one of the main side doors (but not the others) and the material is listed 150 Denier Fabric (the Vango is 420 Denier Fabric). And of course one of the main functions of the awning is that you can roll up the connecting section and drive away.
