When you’re camping or traveling with your family, you might want to consider a drive away awning, or a Kampa awning. These awnings are perfect for any occasion, and they’ll keep you and your family comfortable while out in the great outdoors. They have a large living area, and full-height windows with privacy blinds. They also come with a waterproof groundsheet and a protective canopy. There are also fibreglass versions of these awnings, as well.
When set-up, a drive-away awning will require a tunnel connection. A typical Kampa awning requires a tunnel about 1.1m wide and 2.1m tall. While it is available with plastic pegs, steel ones are needed to attach the awning properly. These awnings also require a pump and a set of guylines. The Kampa drive-away awning is perfect for small campervans.
Drive-away awnings are available in different sizes and shapes, so be sure to choose the right one for your vehicle. Some are longer than others, while others are shorter than others. If you’re unsure of the height you need, it’s important to measure your vehicle before purchasing a Kampa drive-away awning. You don’t want to purchase the wrong one because it won’t fit correctly.
Dometic Kampa AIR Drive-Away awnings are an excellent choice if you want versatility, function, and value for money. Its Weathershield HD heavy-duty fabric provides high levels of protection against the elements. It also boasts a hydrostatic head of 6000mm. You can choose between three and four-berth options depending on your preferences. You can also add the Kampa Motion AIR Inner to add more sleeping accommodation.
Adding and removing your Kampa drive away awning is easy with the included fixing kit. The driveaway fixing kit comes with 4mm or 6mm figure-of-eight strips, which are designed to make securing your awning as easy as possible. You’ll need to mark your awning with a few brightly coloured tent pegs, which you should have ready before installing the awning.
The Kampa Air drive-away awning is similar to the Hayling 4 tent, with the same features. The main windowed door of the awning faces the user, and the side panels have a good proportion of transparent plastic and a set of curtains or blinds. You can toggle away the side panels when the weather gets hot or cool, and use the rest of the awning as a gazebo or a deck.
Choosing the right drive-away awning is an important decision that will make camping a pleasure. A good quality awning is lightweight, easy to set up, and durable, and it should have built-in curtains for privacy. A drive-away awning should be easy to attach to the camper’s side door, but you can also attach it to the rear door if you want it to be more convenient. When comparing different models, pay special attention to the amount of space they take up when packed. If you have limited space, choose one with multiple door openings.
Another advantage of the drive-away awning is its ability to double the amount of available living space. The added space can be used as a play area for kids, or as storage space. Because it can be detached from the vehicle, it doesn’t take any effort to install. As a bonus, drive-away awnings save you the hassle of putting up an awning. A drive-away awning will protect you from weather and wind.
