The ease of erecting an Olpro drive away awning will depend on its design and size. While even the most experienced individual can erect one, the first time can take more time than normal. Read on to learn more about the different drive away awnings available. In this article, we’ll cover the Olpro Wrap, Outdoor Revolution Outhouse Handi XL, and Turismo Low Drive Away Poled Awning.
Outhouse Handi XL
The lightweight Cayman Outhouse Handi pole and sleeve Drive-Away awning functions as a compact multi-purpose utility tent. It is designed to fit alongside motorhomes and campervans but is also free-standing. With a maximum width of 3.6 metres and a weight of 1.6 kg, this awning is highly versatile. Whether you want a tent to sleep four or a shelter to cover a large space, this awning is a great choice.
The Outhouse Handi XL drive away is suitable for smaller vehicles. Its internal space is a generous 2m x 2m. It also has two poles with short pole sleeves. It is not suitable for campers that have a high roof as it does not have a draught skirt. Nonetheless, it is perfectly suitable for campers up to the size of a Mazda Bongo.
Outdoor Revolution Outhouse Handi
The lightweight Outdoor Revolution Outhouse Handi pole-and-sleeve Drive-Away awning functions as a compact multi-use utility tent. It can be fixed alongside a motorhome or campervan but can also stand on its own. Its freestanding capabilities make it an excellent choice for camping in varying weather conditions. This versatile awning is a great choice for the occasional family trip, whether you’re looking for a shaded spot or a sheltered camping site.
The Outhouse Handi is the perfect choice for smaller campers. This awning measures just 2m long and wide and has fibreglass poles with short sleeves. It can double as a sun canopy but does not have a draught skirt. The Outhouse Handi is suitable for campers of the VW Transporter or Mazda Bongo size. Besides providing shade, this awning also comes with an optional windbreak and draught skirt.
Outdoor Revolution Turismo Low Drive Away Poled Awning
If you’re looking for a cheap, lightweight, easy-to-pitch drive away poled awning that will offer the same benefits as an encased tent, the Turismo low drive away poled gazebo is an excellent choice. This lightweight two-berth awning has an integrated two-bed Inner-Tent, a compact living area, and water-resistant fabric. It has a mesh ventilation point above the internal cowl door.
Outdoor Revolution offers two Transporter awning options: the Outhouse Handi and the Turismo. Both are lightweight and tested, but the Turismo is ideal for damp conditions. Here’s how they compare. You’ll be amazed at how well these awnings hold up. Which one is right for you? Try one of these products and you’ll know for sure. You’ll be glad you did!
Olpro Wrap
A video by an outdoor equipment company, OLPRO, has gone viral on TikTok. The awning was designed to fit the shape of your campervan, doubling the amount of usable space. The awning also features a two-berth sleeping area at either the side or rear. Designed to sleep up to six people, this awning can be used both as a sleeping area and as a comfortable daytime seating area.
Aside from the size, drive away awnings are heavy when set up. Some weigh up to 30kg. Consider the pack size, the size of the awning when it’s folded up and stored in its carry bag. When buying one, be sure to designate a storage area for it, as these can get quite bulky when set up. If you’ll be using it for more than one day, consider models with multiple openings to give yourself flexibility when setting it up.
