Lightweight and versatile as well as UV resistant and shower-proof this VW Camper Awning is 3 metres long by 2.4 metres depth making it one of the largest on the market.
Our campervan awning pitches in just 10mins making it ideal for overnight stop-overs.This compact awning is not only designed to fit VW type 2’s but will also fit T5’s and most other vans with a fitted awning rail.
Each awning has five eyelets, comes with three height adjustable poles, five guylines and pegs.
Use all 3 poles in a straight type configuration (photos 1 & 2) or our personal favourite, just remove the 2 corner poles and adjust the middle pole to a fair height and peg down the remaining 4 guylines making a sort of ridge tent configuration (photos 3 & 4) - ideal for breezier/rainy conditions.
In fact with a bit of imagination and combinations of using either 1, 2 or 3 poles at varying heights the possibilities are endless, making this camper awning one of the most versatile out there.
Please note: to avoid rain damage -awnings they must be left in the single pole tent configuration overnight and if you’re away from your camper for any length of time.

Attaching Your VW Camper Awning
There are two methods for attaching the awning - Pole and Clamp (which comes as standard) or Figure of 8 awning strip (which you can add to your order).
Pole and Clamp method is ideal for 90% of Split Screens, Bay Windows and Type 25’s – just slide the gutter pole through the canopy sleeve, place in gutter and secure using the 3 clamps (which have rubber padding to avoid scratching your pride and joy).
We recommend the use of 3 x figure of 8 Awning Strips to attach our awnings when the gutter rail on a VW type 2 is obstructed by a high top roof or roof rack for instance.If you do have a roof rack fitted the figure of 8 awning strips can easily be cut down to fit in between and either side.
We also recommend figure of 8 channel be used with low profile fitted awning rails that are too shallow or short to accommodate our 16mm gutter pole (on VW T5’s for example).If our awning is longer than your awning rail the loose corner of material can be secured with a Clingon Instant Eyelet and guyline.
If you’re in any doubt as to whether your bus will take the pole and clamp - please measure before ordering or use something of same diameter and physically try it – the gutter pole diameter is 16mm but with plastic bungs on each end allow 19mm x 3.2m length.
