![]() We did spend quite a bit of time deciding which system to use to attach to the van (we don’t have a roof rack and we didn’t want to damage the paintwork) but once we had settled on our choice it was fairly straightforward. The Airbeam poles are amazingly stiff and robust and do create a really sturdy structure (surprisingly so). Once we had worked out how to put up the tent and how to pump up the poles it wasn’t too difficult to erect. ![]() If the G-Force and I were away for a few days or a week and were staying at a campsite with friends I can see that the tent would provide the ideal gathering space for meals and chat (when the weather isn’t good enough to sit out). The Kela Standard (the one I am testing) offers enough space for an extra couple of adults or kids, plus I liked that you could remove the inner bedroom area if you simply wanted more living space. You could also simply buy a separate tent for any extra passengers for sleeping at night.īut for a well-thought-out campervan extension that provides extra living and sleeping space for around £500 I really like the Vango awning tents.

My thoughts on the Vango campervan awning tent A range of footprints and carpets are available for extra ease and comfort.Diamond clear windows for better visibility.The tent pack comes with al the bits and pieces you’ll need for erecting it, including the double action pump, a pressure gauge and pressure release valve. These detachable bands brace the awning pole, which prevents side movement.Īnother advantage of the awnings is that they can stand up on their own so you can still drive the campervan away for the day without having to take the tent down. ![]() In addition, the tent has Vango’s patented TBS ®II Tension Band System to ensure they stay up even in very windy weather. Basically there is a pole that sits on the edge of the door side of the van and a securing system that goes over the van and into the ground on the other side. We went for a mixture of the systems because we do not have a roof rack. Choose from the Kador rail, webbing straps, velcro tabs or pole and clamps. There are a variety of systems for attaching the AirAway awnings to your van. All four models are constructed using high quality 150 denier Protex fabric, which is waterproof, durable and breathable. They each come in two sizes, Standard, which fits vehicles up to 2.4m in height, and Tall for vehicles that are between 2.4 metres and 2.9 metres. There are two tents that would suit a campervan or motorhome, the compact Kela and the more generous Sapera.
