This premium drive-away awning is specially designed for rear and side docking onto vans and transporters up to a height of 210cm. It features an adjustable connector for conventional vans and transporters.

Absolutely brilliant!
The instructions are a bit nuts to be honest but when you actually think about it it’s easy! Just look at the picture on the box! The straps go to the van and the poles go in and secure the ropes and it’s up! It took me 15 mins to put it up the first time and the second Tim you’re lucky if it took 5 mins! It’s a great height and gives so much extra space to my van! The space in between the van and awning makes a perfect place for a chemical toilet!
I used the Velcro straps to connect to my raised roof bars and secured the two rear ropes to the other bar opposite roof bar and used the large grey straps to connect the same bar for stability! I used it for 6 nights in the pouring rain and high wind and sunshine in Avimore Scotland and I’d give it a 10/10!
