Whatever your requirements we have an awning for your VW Transporter, whether you’re looking for a little extra storage or a whole bedroom we have you covered. Our range of awnings covers all transporters from the classic split screen vans through to the latest T6 model. Whatever van you have, we’ll have an awning to fit. What Vehicle Height are the Awnings Based off? Yes, the 2021 Berlingo Multispace is around 186cm tall, compared to my Sharan 172cm, but you can see that people have used it with a Caddy Life here (about 180cm): https://nimblecamper.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/arpenaz-base-m-caddy-life2.webp and judging by the rear lights, a newer Berlingo too: https://nimblecamper.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/arpenaz-base-m-car-camping-berlingo3.webp and an NV200 (186cm) here: https://nimblecamper.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/arpenaz-base-m-mpv2.webp. It’s a Peugeot 3008 2013 right? Then it’s height should be 1.64 meters: https://www.automobiledimension.com/photos/peugeot-3008-2013.jpgWe spent a lot of time making it as universal as possible. It'll be entirely compatible with all other variants of van. Vivaro, Movano, Transit, etc. We have also fitted eyelets on each corner of the canvas which allow the shorter side of Van Awning One to work well with the VW Caddy, Maxi and Transit Connect. The rear tent Tuffi 2. is also a self-standing tent, which was designed for the VW T5, T4, T6 and similar vehicles. The Tuffi 2 has its own tent frame, so it is also free-standing. Ergo, the camper van can also be moved away. The rear tent Tuffi is completely closable and can be used without a vehicle connection as a bicycle garage, storage tent, additional sleeping tent and much more. Versatility: The tent seems to be popular among ‘minicampers’ because of its compact size and suitability for car camping. Users have creatively adapted it to fit the rear or side of different vehicles, from the B-Class to Berlingo. However, there were minor challenges with some vehicle models, particularly in creating a seamless connection between the car and the tent.

Last up for this test was the large Kampa Travel Pod Maxi. With an impressive 510cm x 300cm footprint, the Pod Maxi really is an impressive looking awning. But would it be suitable for small format vans like the Nissan NV200? Cleverly Kampa have made the tunnel section a shade under 3m wide. This makes it a simple fit for the side of VW Transporters, Volkswagen T4, T25 and T5 van types. VW Transporters are the most popular campervans and are often considered as the best in the business due to their versatility. Pairing your Transporter with the best possible VW camper awning is easy with the extensive range we have available. This is essentially the same design as the normal barn door awning but we have added in some tailoring so it can get over the top of your spoilers. It is a little tighter to fit so you may find you need to hook it over the outside corners of your door BEFORE tightening up the straps attached to your door hinges. We have tested this with a couple of different spoiler designs but there are more versions out there that we have not yet tried. Features But how would this fair on the smaller vans like the Ford Transit Connect, Fiat Diablo, Volkswagen Caddy, Nissan NV200 and Citreon Berlingo. Well the Nissan NV200 sat almost perfectly into this tunnel section allowing for full access to the passenger side door and sliding side door without any restrictions. The tunnel sat neatly and securely on top of the van roof forming a good weather seal and allowing for good pegging out. The Front of the tunnel section did make for the front guyline to pitch over the front window of the van and, like the first awning we tested would need an anti friction sleeve over the guyline to stop any paintwork damage. I was certainly impressed with both the fit and the weather seal of this awning. Yes this is an over sized product for most casual users, but to be honest this awning would be a brilliant addition for serious touring campers. The Kampa Travel Pod Maxi offers a large footprint living area with ample features and comes complete with a clip in bedroom which makes the perfect place to get you head down.

The magnetic rear awning fits over the top of the opened barn doors and down over the outside of the doors thus inhibiting rainwater from entering the gap between the opened rear doors and the end of the vehicle. The rear tent Vertic Vertic for Caddy, Kanggoo and other minicampers is similar in dimensions, but it is attached with straps under the rear flap. The built-in window film in the upper part of the rear flap tent coincides with the rear window and ensures optimum lighting conditions. Velcro fastenings seal the gaps between the tent and the tailgate so well that the rear tent can withstand even bad weather conditions. The awnings are based off a vehicle height of 190 cm to 250 cm, if your van has a similar height to the figure above but isn't mentioned - it's likely that the awning will fit. Do you Sell VW Caddy Awnings? Van Awning One was designed to work in harmony with the both the SWB and LWB VW Transporter platform first and foremost however, it works with both SWB and LWB vans along with vans with Spoilers too. So I don’t think it’s going to be a problem. If anything, you will lift the end of the tent closer to the car slightly off the ground when you open the tailgate, but I had some wiggle room on my Sharan, so the additional 16cm won’t stretch it too much – or you let it slide up on the bumper, so it will hang on the tailgate basically.

The VW campervan awnings we supply are suited to a wide range of applications. If you’re looking for small, simple storage or a bigger extension to accommodate a dining table, then our range of awnings has you covered. Then you shouldn’t have a problem as I’m using it with my Sharan, which is 1.72m: https://www.automobiledimension.com/photos/volkswagen-sharan-2015.jpg The names Trapeze, Update and Upgrade from Tent Technology stand for the somewhat larger rear tents. All these tents are built up in the "trapezoid concept", i.e. the floor of these rear tents is slightly wider than the rear flap, thus offering a larger, well usable space. The rear tent Primus for VW from Herzog is also simply put over the rear flap of your T5, T6, T4. Fiamma rear awnings with a sunroof, such as the Fiamma Rear Door or Cava Ducato 2 sunroof, can be fitted over the rear flap or the rear doors of the vehicle. All of these tents are very easy to assemble and significantly increase the space available in your van, motorhome or minicamper. Quality & Price: Many found the tent to be of good quality, especially considering its price point. It’s also highlighted to be waterproof during heavy rain. However, some users faced issues with its design; for instance, a user pointed out that during rain, one has to close the windows due to the design of the fly mesh and rolling tarp. Another user mentioned that in strong winds, the tent might not hold up very well.

Are you a biker and/or do you want a mobile workshop? Then we would like to recommend the Vanshower rear tent Worker. parked up on fistral beach, tried the rear door awning for the first time. What a piece of cake it is to fit, dead easy. Its quite windy but it is very well attached, three chairs and a table underneath it gives quite a bit more room absolutely brilliant. " . Andy. But as you can see here, my car is taller than yours and it fits nicely: https://nimblecamper.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/sharan-arpenaz-base-m2.webp + the tent is taller than the actual tent opening, so enough room for the tailgate. Me too! But in fact twin rear doors have loads of advantages. Just occasionally it would be great to have the tailgate to shelter from the rain and sun. That's why we invented the 90-second Barn Door Awning. Drive away tailgate awnings are a practical living space extension for your van or mini camper. The universal tailgate tents always fit, whether for your off-road vehicle, SUV, minicamper or van. The epitome of the universal rear tent is the UNI VAN. It has an extra long sluice and can therefore be connected weatherproof to almost all vehicles from minicamper, SUV to panel van. The optimal combination is an UNI VAN in combination with a car roof tent. This way you create a dry sleeping place far away from most "crawlers" and a comfortable lounge even for the more uncomfortable days. The UNI VAN is freestanding, which means for you: nothing stands in the way of a flexible camping holiday even with a smaller vehicle.

A great piece of kit. Easy to use, fast to set up, and easy to take down. The flexibility the awning gives is fantastic. The materials are very sturdy and well constructed. I’d highly recommend! ".
