Outdoor Revolution California Coast Drive Away Awning, Grey, One Size

Product Information

There are however some methods that you can use to determine a product’s quality without needing to physically have it. Don’t be fooled by the ‘XL’ in the name of this awning. It’s actually one of the smaller options on this list. Here we’ll go into more detail about what to look for when buying a drive away awning for your campervan. Inflatable vs. Poled Awnings It is waterproof, so you don’t have to worry about getting wet, and it is made from strong and durable material. for camper vans with a gutter. It clips into the gutter rail and then onto the awning. You just need to unclip the figure of eight when you want to take a drive.

Never heard of Shandika? Me neither. Shandika awnings and tents are made in China. The quality of their products are in the budget range of awnings, however, you do get quite a lot of awning for your money. The first time we put it up, it was comical...took us ages, but now it's less than 15 mins to assemble / disassemble and we will very often put it up even if we're doing a single night stay. We just like the extra space, ability to sit outside if the weather is a bit dodgy and also keeps us from getting grass in the van as we keep the shoes in the awning. That’s why we’ve pulled together this list of key factors for Outdoor Revolution California Coast Drive Away Awning below, to help you choose if it’s the right product for you and your budget. Outdoor Revolution is a brand that makes many awnings, camping furniture, and accessories. This inflatable Key West awning is a solid option that gives you two extra spaces to enjoy attached to your campervan. The rear cowl is adjustable between 180cm and 240cm, making it more suited to campervans than many motorhomes. However, the twin poles give extra height to the main area of the awning.The California Coast is designed to keep the rain out. All the awning seams are sealed. The 75 dernier canvas fabric as been tested for waterproofness to a hydro static head of 3000 mm. The groundsheet is sewn in to prevent draughts and insects getting in. Mesh ventilation helps reduce condensation and also keeps insects out. The PE groundsheet is fully sewn in.

We are very impressed with the quality and attention to detail of the Lichfield California Drive-Away Air Awning. The groundsheet clips in to all the provided hooks and stays in place, there is a fly net on one of the main side doors (but not the others) and the material is listed 150 Denier Fabric (the Vango is 420 Denier Fabric). Measure from the awning channel to the ground. If you don’t have an awning channel, measure from the top of the door instead. Then look for an awning that’s a similar height. They don’t need to be exact, as most are adjustable within a few centimetres. The best option is with an awning channel. It works the same as a wind-out awning but needs a 6mm to 6mm kit instead. It creates a snug fit, looks clean, and helps prevent water from leaking. I realise times & technology have changed and would appreciate some comments on poles vs inflate, and owt else as we say in Yorkshire….

The downside is that the put up and take down is not an easy task for one person (I often travel alone), it’s takes up A LOT of space, and the drive away kador strip attachment on this style of awning can be a bit of a pain. ( I have been looking at magnetic attachments recently to see if this might be a better option going forward). Also bear in mind that the seal against the van is not in fact a seal and the rain will pour in against the van side.

Well, one drive away awning to consider, would be the Shandika Aarhus freestanding awning. Being a freestanding awning means that the Shandika Aarhus doesn’t need a vehicle to connect to, so it can also be used as a tent. When looking for a driveaway awning, the most essential feature you should be looking out for is the attachment height. For instance, you’ll need to make sure the attachment height will closely match your vehicle. However, it’s worth mentioning, you don’t have to be that exact as there’s usually room for some adjustment. The inner bedroom tent is a great addition, providing space for up to 5 people to sleep comfortably. We use the kador strip to the bottom channel of the wind out awning with the awning out about 200mm. Once the awning is assembled we wind in the awning as far as it will go. Note: cut the kador strip to the inside dimension of the awning, or you’ll put a kink in the kador strip which isn’t ideal. Look for an awning that offers flexible living space. Multiple door openings give you more options for setting up at different camps. For example, you may want the door open onto views or away from the wind.

Move the inside out: the extra space means you can move some of your gear from the van into the awning, freeing up space inside. They make a perfect enclosure for an outdoor kitchen, so you don’t have to fill your camper with cooking aromas.
